In 2021 backing up your computer to time machine only means your pictures are going to be included IF you are storing the originals in Photos. But there's more to consider in terms of your photos. The external hard drive I recommend most often is the Seagate Backup Plus.

I don’t believe I will move all photos over but given that I have 20,000 plus in one library I want to make sure it is big enough. I’m tackling my photos and want to order a good external hard drive to begin the process. It will take a very long time for the decryption to complete. To do this go to System Preferences/Security/File Vault. Encrypt your backup drive which would require reformatting it to MacOS Extended Journaled Encrypted.ģ. Yes, it's extremely secure and would be great if you travel a tremendous amount and you're carrying the secret launch codes but other than that it's really not necessary for normal people. The proper way apple wants you to execute this is to have an encrypted backup drive to backup your file vault protected internal drive. I've never been a fan of 'File Vault' which is what Apple calls its built in encryption. Is there a way I can remove the encryption? Should I? It says this, which from what I researched seems to say it doesn’t help me if they are encrypted.

The time machine software is very good and usually has no problem just picking right back up where it last left off with the backup. No need to worry if the electricity goes out. There are other ways to eject but these are the easiest two methods. The proper way to eject the drive is to either:Ī: drag the hard drive icon (usually olive green) to the trash which becomes an eject icon as soon as you start dragging it or…ī: right click the external hard drive icon and choose eject. The computer just prefers that you eject the drive properly. You really shouldn't even have to see that message. The box in the upper corner of the screen is a message the computer is displaying that is basically saying the drive accidentally disconnected. Really just at least every few days for it to have a chance to record all the things you've added to your computer within the last time. You don't need to keep your time machine backup drive connected ALL the time.

( Eject” Seagate Portable Drive” before disconnecting or turning off) Don’t I always keep the hard drive connected to my desk too? If I need to turn off my computer and then turn it back on for any reason, do I unplug the hard drive, then once computer is up and running again reconnect it? What happens of the electricity fails and the hard drive is connected…I would think it would be OK?Īlso I am traveling/flying in a couple of days….do I need to keep the hard drive connected to the lap top at all times? Scotty….I have this box in upper corner of my deck top computer screen.
