On this day in 1960, Chicagoans experienced the classic sci-fi film "The Time Machine," directed by George Pal. This adaptation of H.G. Wells' novel features notable performances and a unique narrative. Today, parallel discussions arise about political themes in articles like "The Bonfire Of The MAGA Vanities." Plus, astronomers unveil a hidden companion to Betelgeuse, revealing a long-standing mystery.

@343max Ich nutze für fast alles dieses RSync Skript. Die Dateien liegen klar im Backup Ziel und mehrere Versionen werden beibehalten. Auch nett, um mal schnell ein Backup auf einer externen Festplatte zu machen. Was hilft das tollste Backup, wenn man nix wieder raus bekommt. Unter macOS allerdings mit Homebrew "rsync" installieren, weil Apple da letztens was vermurkst hat. Verschlüsseln kann es allerdings nicht.

Da ist mir doch gerade eingefallen, dass ich in meiner Breakout-Box (diverse Anschlüsse via Thunderbolt) noch eine 2TB M2 SSD schlummern habe und kein Backup-Laufwerk mehr besitze.

Schnell mal die Platte umpartitioniert und 512 GB frei geschaufelt. Dann die Platte als Time Machine Backup Platte deklariert und nun sichert mir mein Mac alles brav weg. (1/2)

Yesterday in the post below, I asked about backup software for MacOS and most people mentioned/recommended Time Machine.

I sat that up, but then quickly realized that I can't use the drive for much else, and I'm not wasting a 2TB drive on 150GB of backups, so I disabled Time Machine.

Thanks to @dhry and @amerpie I've now decided to go with SmartBackup, as that seems to allow me to backup to my 2TB drive and still use that drive for other stuff just like normal. So I think this is method I will stick with, at least for now.

Infosec ExchangeCliff (@cliffwade@infosec.exchange)MacOS users... What backup software do you use on your MacOS devices? I don't need anything fancy, just something in case something happens at some point. Is Time Machine good and/or recommended? Is there something different or better that y'all recommend? #MacOS #Mac #TimeMachine #BackupSoftware #Software
