Is there a way to back up a MacBook Air 2021 M1 without using the USB ports?

Hi,

My water bottle leaked into my backpack and broke the 2 and only USB ports on this computer.

Since I cannot charge my Mac anymore and with only 11% of the battery left, I wondered if there was. a way to back up my Mac without using the USB ports.


Thank you in advance!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.3

You can copy data to iCloud Drive or some other cloud storage service. That's about it: wired with the ports or wireless are your only options. A local network connection to a shared computer can work, but that is going to be pretty slow.


You best bet is to rely on current backups. They may be a bit behind, but you should be able to rebuild most missing data.
