A Time Machine backup makes it especially easy to transfer all your data, settings, and apps from one Mac to another. Other benefits of Time Machine include its tight integration with macOS. Having a versioned backup is a benefit because not only does it protect you if something goes wrong with your Mac, it also protects you from user error (saving over a document for example).ĬhronoSync ($49.99/£36.00 at Econ Technologies) can also make versioned backups too.
