I have a 2018 McBook Pro 15". When I switched from macOS Mojave to macOS Big Sur the Time Machine notifications stopped appearing although the "Back Up Automatically" option is till selected.It is been more than a month and no notifications appeared. These reminders are very helpful for me. Please help me get them back.
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.6
I don’t remember getting anything other than the first full backup completed, and it’s been over 10 days since last backup.
Any configuration of a notification would be in the Notifications System Preferences.
It doesn't think your backup drive is connected. If it is, Eject it and re-attach.
In macOS Mojave I had notifications like this one:
Now with macOS Big Sur I don't get any notifications related to the Time Machine.
I've noticed that the Time Machine preferences pane says: "Next backup: When disk is connected":
Does anyone know how to fix it?
As I stated, I still get that one. Check Notifications System Preferences to see if Time Machine is enabled.
I navigated to "System Preferences" --> "Notifications" and I cannot see "Time Machine" in the list on the left pane. Do you have "Time Machine" in the list shown on your Mac?
Sorry, I don’t either. I thought it would be there like all the other things.
I don’t know why you are not seeing that message. I don’t know how you would disable it if you even wanted to.
