How do I back up files on my Mac?
Use Apple Time Machine from your Apple menu in System Settings.
It is a built-in backup service on your Mac and automatically backs up your files.
In case of a total computer crash, it is highly recommended to do your own regular back ups.
- Use a small USB drive or larger drive for massive files.
- Massive files include videos, images, multimedia, PowerPoint presentations, PDFs, etc.
- Contact a trusted tech expert if you are looking to order a mass storage device.
- Insert your storage device into your Mac.
- Locate the files you want to back up, generally using the Finder app.
- Locate the icon in the Finder for the USB drive you just inserted.
- Drag and drop one file at a time into your USB drive.
- You may also click and hold your mouse to highlight multiple files, then drag and drop all of them to the USB.
Backing up to the cloud online (instead of USB drive)
You may also wish to download a trusted application such as ‘Dropbox’ or use tools like iCloud.
They are free to use (within a limit) and conveniently allow you to upload files, while avoiding using a USB drive.
