Back Up Your Mac: Complete Guide [2023]

Описание к видео Back Up Your Mac: Complete Guide [2023]

🍎 Back in "the day," you were taught to have a data backup to protect against hardware failure or human error. Today, we have new threats like climate change, war, or someone hacking into your Apple ID, taking all your data hostage, and selling it back to you for a ransom! THAT is why we need to have an UPDATED conversation about how to back up your data. Think of iCloud as your parachute 🪂 It's going to protect you... probably 😬🤞 But if it doesn't, 😱 that's why we have an emergency chute (in case the 💩 hits the 🪭)

NOTE: You will need an external hard drive for this solution.

Think your old backup drive holds up?
Go to the App Store and Download BLACK MAGIC DISK SPEED TEST

If your drive shows a READ/WRITE Speed UNDER 200MB/sec, it's time to buy a new one.
All the drives you see below are Solid State Drives (SSDs).
