At the moment I am using both for backup, but I want to stick with just one to save space.īut which advantages or disadvantages do I overlook here? Maybe compression is better with one of them? Transfer speeds? Possibilities to restore the whole system with TimeMachine? Files/Folders that are backup'd (implicitely) with TimeMachine that I might forget to forget with Drive? TimeMachine eventually implicitely knows which files/folders do not need to be backup'd like caches, thumbnails, etc. So to me Drive seems actually the better approach. Another advantage: With Drive my backups from my Windows machine, Linux and Mac work all the same, the target folders on the NAS are in the same place next to each other, I know where to find stuff and it is all within the NAS user folder in contrast to the TimeMachine backup for which you have to jump through some hoops and create a separate share making permissions more difficult to adjust for multiple users. Those backup'd files will be accessible from other devices and OSes as well (If I need to access such file from Windows/Linux/Android). It has several advantages: The backup can be continuous so it backups each version of a file not only on an hourly or daily basis. TimeMachineScheduler actually replaces the launchd-based agent used by Time Machine with one of its own, so you'll need to be an administrator to install and use it. TimeMachineEditor is a software for macOS that starts backups in Time Machine at particular times. On the other hand Synology Drive can be used to backup files and folder to the NAS. Opinions? Advantages of TimeMachine: It is perfectly integrated into MacOs. I should probably do a versioned backup but that seemed kind of overkill back then. Ci sono però dei software aggiuntivi che permettono di modificare il funzionamento di Time Machine oppure ne aggiungono delle funzionalità. HyperBackup is creating a daily copy of this TimeMachine backup, but if it is corrupt, then this copy might be useless as well. Time Machine è il sistema di Apple per effettuare il backup in automatico e funziona anche piuttosto bene dato che si occupa di tutto senza intervento da parte dell’utente. I had to create new ones and basically lost the history. Unfortunately it occured already twice that this backup somewhat got corrupted in a way that I could not continue to use it. I would recommend using the app TimeMachineScheduler for this, it provides an easy-to-use graphical interface, and has a lot more features than a simple. In the beginning I used TimeMachine to backup my Macbook to a Synology NAS. Obviously then this application is catered towards people that need to save their data at highly frequent intervals. For example, you could leave the 1 hour backup intervals but use Time Machine Scheduler to set TIme Machine to not perform the backups between 9AM and 5PM.I need to hear some opinions and maybe some advantages and disadvantages that I did not think of yet. TimeMachineScheduler aims to give you even more control on Time Machine by letting you set exactly at what hourly interval Time Machine runs. You can also set a time frame during which TIme Machine will not run. Time Machine Scheduler allows you to increase the default one hour interval to anywhere between 2 to 12 hours. However, Time Machine does not have any options to change the backup interval. Some people find it can slow the computer down while running. Time Machine runs automatically every hour. TM Error Logger can be run after you experience an error and it will show you a report of when the error happened and even which file or folder caused the error. If there is a problem, you will often see a dialogue box with the error, but there is no way to check previous error. Unfortunately, Time Machine does not have provide this kind of information. But if there are problems, it's often nice to review what errors were encountered and when. One of the short comings of Time Machine is it's error reporting.
