JAKARTA - If you have a USB drive or other external storage device, you can use the Time Machine feature on Mac to back up your files automatically.

With Time Machine, you can back up files on Macs that are not part of macOS installations, such as apps, music, photos, and documents.

When the Time Machine is turned on, your Mac will be backed up automatically and backup files per hour, per day, and per week.

To back up files using Time Machine on Macs, especially for macOS 12 users or later, follow the following steps:

Prepare An External Hard Disk

Connect external hard disks to your Mac via USB, Thunderbolt, or other ports. Make sure the hard disk is turned on and read by the system.

Done, Time Machine will now back up your Mac automatically and periodically. Make sure the external disk remains connected when you want to back up.
