“Apple does a lot with iOS devices in iCloud, but they don’t back up Macs into the iCloud and they’re not intending to in the immediate future,” Maple says.
They can store photos, contacts, calendars, documents and other items in iCloud, but it’s not a complete backup solution for a desktop or laptop. When it comes to the cloud, Mac and PC users alike have access to iCloud. "Time Machine is high performance it’s easy but if your house burns down or is flooded or somebody breaks in and steals the computer and the hard drive, you don’t have a lot of options." Time Machine is great for having a local copy of computer files, but it doesn’t protect users who lose both their computer and hard drive. In keeping with its name, Time Machine lets users see how their system looked on any given day in the past. As long as an external drive is plugged in, Time Machine automatically keeps hourly backups for the past 24 hours, daily backups for the past month, and weekly backups until the backup drive is full.
Backup is the process of making a secondary copy of data that can be restored if the primary version becomes lost or unusable. The file-and-folder backup system is built into Mac machines, and it works with an external hard drive to back up a user’s entire system. “It’s a very nice, simple user interface, so it has quite high adoption compared to Windows backup on the Windows platform.” “If you use a Mac, you would know Time Machine as a pretty well accepted operating feature,” says Nat Maple, senior vice president and general manager for consumer business at Acronis. Mac owners likely have seen Time Machine somewhere on their computers.
