Time Machine is without a doubt the fastest way to recover from a damaged Mac. I recommend this as the first step in a multi-layered backup approach.

Time Machine has been around since Mac OS X Leopard, and, while it hasn’t changed a lot on the surface, it’s continued to do precisely what it needs to do.

Here’s my guide on how to back up your Mac: The most important thing I can communicate is you need to act like all of your devices have a chance of breaking tomorrow, and you need to be prepared. Don’t forget about data losses due to theft, fire, and accidental damage (spilled drinks, drops, etc.). Even in the age of flash storage and SSDs, failures still happen. If you are hesitant to pay for anything, think of it like this: If your hard drive crashed, and I offered to restore everything for less than a meal at a restaurant, you’d take me up on it. I am often asked by friends and family about backups, so I wanted a way to just send a simple article they can follow.
