Of course, like all backup solutions, it is not perfect, so it is generally advised to also have your data in another place, such as a cloud service. Thus in this guide, I will be discussing how to back up your Mac with Time Machine, the Mac’s built in backup utility. However, iCloud backup is not available on macOS. If you have an iOS or iPadOS device, you probably back up the data on it in iCloud. For this reason, it is advisable to always back up your data. The device’s internal storage medium could fail, complications could occur during an update or other system event, the device could get lost or stolen, or a flood or fire could break out at the device’s location. When your critical information is stored in only one medium, it is inherently vulnerable. On the destination Mac in the Sharing preference pane, select File Sharing and note what it says below File Sharing: On.If you own a computer or mobile device, there’s one thing you’ve probably heard time and time again, back up your data. If, in step 2, you don’t see the destination Mac as a server, you can also use a more explicit way to access the other Mac. You can select a Finder-mounted networked drive just as easily as a local volume as a Time Machine destination. In the Time Machine preference pane, click Select Backup Disk and choose the network-mounted volume.Double click the Time Machine volume to mount it in the Finder.(If you’ve stored information, a list of drives and folders appears.) Enter an account name and password from the other Mac if prompted.Double-click the Mac in the Network view.In the Finder, choose Go > Network (Command-Shift-K).On each Mac you want to back up to the external drive on your target Mac: (Apple says inĪ 2016 support document that SMB isn’t supported, but in a 2017 one covering Sierra, Click the Options button to make sure that AFP is enabled. Open the Sharing system preference pane, and make sure File Sharing is checked. Next, you need to make sure this Mac has file sharing enabled. Mount the Time Machine volume in the Finder. Now, set up Time Machine to use this external drive.
