THANK YOU times a thousand. I am very challenged when it comes to backups. I have a new external drive and I thought I had to go into Time Machine to back up my entire MBP. When all I really wanted was to back up my Photos library. 45 minutes fiddling with it….so much frustration and my old external drive still shows up in Time Machine and no way of getting it out. That one I don't even know how I did the backups, it was so confusing. Finally I came over here and you saved me maybe tons of money if I could even find somebody that would show me how to do it. And look how simple it was!! Again, thank you so much!! Thumbs up and subscribed.
THANK YOU! You make life a better place (:
Thank you so much it really works mine took 3 hours lol i didn't backup my mac for 4 years! I thought the only way was through time machine or copy pasting each item on its own! Saved me so much time and hassle.
Is the process the same for the actual applications?
A big 80gb drive?!? Wow
i have a question. How can I install and boot a windows os on an external hard drive that would plug into my macbook
Thanks man, that was really helpful!!
great video can you please guide me on telling me how to automatically download files everytime anything is downloaded on my mac to my external hard drive
background music is annoying,it distracts.
Time Machine works best when backed up to an external hard drive.
It's also the easiest way to recover data when something goes wrong
like a HDD failure.
Thanks for sharing man :)
Thank you!
To reinstall the copied USER folder on the new hard drive , is it as simple as dragging and dropping in the same place as the original folder?
the backup music is annoying and unnecessary.
Will this backup allow me to install everything back in a new hard drive? Thanks!
Can you tell me how to put them back after a battery replacement?
thank you !!!
Thank you!!!
My work now I'm doing take more time because my Mac is to slow I try with time machine but was super slow and this way you do is more fast thank you very help I'm happy
Straightforward, quick. Thanks!
