Return the product with your dated receipt for a full refund. I hope this is helpful and provides the confidence to better utilize TimeMachine’s features.Quicken for Mac 2018 release imports data from Quicken for Windows 2010 or newer, Quicken for Mac 2015 or newer, Quicken for Mac 2007, Quicken Essentials for Mac, Banktivity. Banktivity 6 currently does not support Undo (sorely missed by me) and asks you whether you want to “Revert Changes” when closing the program thus closing the temp file with no change to the original “active file” and removing the file Open flag. I’m not familiar with a "Save To” command. The Save As command creates a newly non-duplicate named file and creates another temp file. As such the "active" file might be backed up but it is no different than the original closed state or after a Save file state. At this instance, the active file and temp file are now one in the same as if an open just occurred. A Save command if issued manually before the file/program is closed, the Undo stack is dumped, updates the “active" file, and keeps the temp file. A Save command at the close of the program updates "the active” file, closed the temp file, and removes the open flag. The “active program” is marked as Open and blocks any attempts to open it by others (collaborative programs are not part of this scheme). The sub-test here is to save or revert back to the last Save command or when the file was opened. You’ll notice this when you close the file/program and a Save File or Revert Changes pop-up occurs. In short, the “active” file is not modified during editing but rather a copy of the file, a temp file is modified. The main focus should be on minimizing the lost data gap between backup events.Īnd finally, I’ll address your desire for “Save as, Save To, and Save”. There are many variations on achieving this strategy which are beyond the scope of this message. All the contents were ashes or melted blobs.Ī summary at this point point is to emphasize the need for employing a 1, 2, 3 Backup/Recovery strategy: 1- a non-corrupted source drive, 2 - having on-site copy of the source drive, and 3 - having a remote safe store location. As the recent Santa Rosa fire revealed, when opening these types of safes, they have become crematoriums. Assuming you a retail purchase home safe, articles I’ve read say that these safes do not have a high enough temperature rating. You also mentioned storing a thumb drive containing your Banktivity file(s) in a safe. Therefore running TM all the time, as I do 24 hrs/ day, you achieve a minimum of lost data and the ability to recover to a previous version of a file. With TM versioning, you enter TimeMachine and retrieve any previous version of the file and reapply correct data. Once Save to Disk is initiated on a data file there is not going back in that file for Undo. The second important benefit is versioning. The backup can be delayed through the main menu TM icon pulldown. Occasionally, a large multi megabyte file will be encountered (e.g a macOs release) and may slow you down. Most of the time, this takes only as few minutes and is not disruptive to your work. This is because TM runs once an hour and scans the source disk for changes to be backed up. Running TM full time will cut your data loss to one hour. ![]() The idea that one does not need to run TM constantly is a myth. using a pair of backup TM drives - again there is no recovery from the target TM drive but the other TM drive could be used but, as in your case of weekly TM usage, the will be up to 7 days of lost data. ![]() overwriting the same TM drive - once the overwrite starts, the old TM directory is destroyed and if the data source is now not available (e.g., power outage) there is no longer a recovery position. So let’s look at two recovery scenarios using full TM backups each time. A number of things happen here but In this case TM determines that there are so many changes since the last backup that it can write a full backup faster than perform a large number of mini updates. If you pull down the TM icon in the main menu bar whenTM starts, you’ll see Preparing for Backup. In looking over your message, you observe that TimeMachine backs up your entire system each time. It’s been about 6 wks since I first responded and I've finally found some time too respond in more depth: to the use of TimeMachine and Save, Save to and Save.
