JAKARTA MacBook that is completely dead or experiencing sudden damage has the potential to eliminate all your data. Before this happens, you must prepare yourself diligently to back up data. There are many data backup tools that can be used, one of which is Time Machine. This Apple-made software can only be found throughout the Mac and users only need to prepare separate storage devices such as hard drives or SSD. Time Machine will create backups per hour for the last 24 hours, per day over the past month, and per week for each month. Even if it is done regularly, Time Machine only backs up changes so that it works quickly. The backup results from Time Machine will not be combined. Users will see several versions of documents stored by Time Machine. For example, documents that have been done over the past 24 hours will have 24 document copies. Users can choose which documents they want to recover, including document versions or other data from the previous month. If your drive storage is almost full, Time Machine will automatically remove the old backup.

Instead, you should use a USB hard drive, SSD, Firewire or Thunderbolt, or NAS drive that has a capacity of 1TB and above. After that, make sure that the Mac operating system (OS) you are using is the most recent.
