I forgot to mention that the part with the "multiple drives defined for Time Machine" is valid for all macOS versions, not just Ventura. > Am 13.11.2022 um 23:36 schrieb matthias rebbe via use-livecode > : > > As Jacque has written, but > > in Ventura you can decide if the backup shall be done only manually, every > hour, every day or every week. > > And if you have defined more than one drive for the Time Machine backups and > if you have them all connected at the same time to your computer then the > first backup is done first on the first one, then the next backup on the > second one and so on and then again on the first drive. > > If you have defined more than one drive for the backup, but you only attach > one drive at a time, then the backup is written to that drive.

Re: Anyone any experience with Livecode under Ventura?
As Jacque has written, but in Ventura you can decide if the backup shall be done only manually, every hour, every day or every week. And if you have defined more than one drive for the Time Machine backups and if you have them all connected at the same time to your computer then the first backup is done first on the first one, then the next backup on the second one and so on and then again on the first drive. If you have defined more than one drive for the backup, but you only attach one drive at a time, then the backup is written to that drive. If you attach an other of the defined drives and remove the other one, then the backup is written the newly attached drive. I for example have always 1 "real" drive attached and i also use my Synology NAS as a second drive for the Time Machine backups.

Re: Anyone any experience with Livecode under Ventura?
There is no scheduling, it's all automatic. Time Machine backs up once an hour, then combines the back ups once a day, then once a week, then once a month. When the disk is full it deletes the oldest to make room. With a multi-terrabyte drive that doesn't happen often. It alternates each backup every hour between my two drives. You can add any number of drives and it will rotate every hour among them. The UI combines all the backups into a single visual report so you don't need to figure out which drive stores it. If you don't like the visual display you can use the Finder and grab any backup from there. For convenience, TM creates an alias to the most recent backup on each drive. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On November 13, 2022 2:05:04 AM Mark Smith via use-livecode wrote: Brilliant.
