I've tried Time Machine with both the internal (6 GB) Drive on my Airport Time Capsule (The original drive died & I replaced it two years ago & it ran flawlessly until mid this year.) as well as on a 4 GB external Western Digital Elements USB Drive. Nothing super fancy.Ĭlick to expand.I'm backing up (well not any more) 2 Macs, one is an Early 2013 MacBook Pro with Big Sur, the other a 2017 12" MacBook with Ventura (13.6.1). I guess my question would be, for those that use one or the other, does either of them allow your to back up multiple computers to the same backup drive?Īny other factors that I should consider that might give one product the edge over the other? I'm just looking for a basic backup software package that I can set to automatically backup my machines in case I ever lose a hard drive or a computer. I could be way off & this stuff is pretty far out of my knowledge base (hence using Time Machine for the last however many years). I downloaded one of these (I think it was Super Duper) & started backing up, but I got a popup that the drive needed to be erased & encrypted, which from what I've read, seems to mean that the same thing would happen if I were to try to backup the other device (again erasing & encrypting the drive). It's what I do with Time Machine & simpler than using one drive for each machine. My plan is to back up both computers to one drive (if possible). I'm looking to move on & SuperDuper & Carbon Copy Cloner seem to be the 2 most popular options. It seems like others are having the same issue and it doesn't appear that anything (short of moving to Sonoma-which one machine isn't able to do)is going to fix the issue. I've been happily using Time Machine since it first came out, but something over the summer has caused it to stop working.
