Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference to kick off June 10 at 10 a.m. PDT with Keynote address

The Keynote will be available to stream on apple.com, the Apple Developer app, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel. On-demand playback will be available after the conclusion of the stream.

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Backup files

I have a new iMac , 2 external Hd”s connected as Time Machine.

All my files are in iCloud Drive. ( And I think there is also in Time Machine locally )

Do I need to add an additional place to save my files such as iMac locally ?

Thank you

iMac 21.5", macOS 10.14

With apps like SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner you can clone your boot drive to another drive of equal or larger size. It will be an exact duplicate of your boot drive. If the boot drive every crashes you can connect the clone and boot from it.


I have one and incrementally update the clone once a week with SuperDuper.
