Without such features, a network interruption can result in a corrupted filesystem on the disk image despite journaling. Remember, journaling relies on the journal being written all the way to disk before the changes take place. If you can't guarantee that (e.g., because of network/NAS buffering) then the journal is useless. Time Machine appears to rely heavily on disk journaling to deal with network drop-outs, interrupted backups, and the like. Take this away and your data is at risk. * [Time Machine (OS X) — Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Machine_\(OS_X\)#How_it_works) * [Time Machine Information | The Matrix Data Bank](http://www.schollnick.net/wordpress/macintosh-related/time-machine-information/) * [Apple OSX and Time Machine Tips](http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html) [Apple OSX and Time Machine Tips](https://web.archive.org/web/20171011022033/http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html) * (association between backupbundle and the machine via UUID) [Snow Leopard Time Machine Tweaks | Missives](https://porkrind.org/missives/snow-leopard-time-machine-tweaks/) * [Dissecting Time Machine & Replacing It With rsync | Mr. Backup Blog](http://www.backupcentral.com/mr-backup-blog-mainmenu-47/13-mr-backup-blog/282-time-machine-rsync.html) * [Format SparseBundle](https://mmems.gitbook.io/calepin/formats-encoding-and-protocols/sparse-bundle/sparse-bundle) * [An Easier Way to Set Up Time Machine to Back Up to a Networked Windows Computer](http://lifehacker.com/5691649/an-easier-way-to-set-up-time-machine-to-back-up-to-a-networked-windows-computer) * [I learned all about Time (Machine) so you don't have to | The Occasional Blog](http://mike.peay.us/blog/archives/248) * [Mass Deploying Time Machine in Mac OS X Lion | krypted.com](http://krypted.com/mac-security/mass-deploying-time-machine/) * [Time Machine 10.8 – Part 3 – Advanced Features > Amsys](http://www.amsys.co.uk/2013/04/time-machine-10-8-part-3-advanced-features/) * `sudo log stream --predicate 'subsystem=="com.apple.TimeMachine"' --info` (to exit: enter `exit` + return) * automount remote disk at `/Volumes/.timemachine/{remote-machine-name}` * TM process name: `com.apple.backupd`. * Open `system.log` with Console.app, search for `backupd` * ignore disk to be a TM target: `touch ".com.apple.timemachine.donotpresent"` in the root of the disk * `.com.apple.timemachine.supported` if the folder must be backup by Time Machine * current files used by Time Machine `sudo fs_usage -w -f filesys backupd` * files ignored by TM with extended attribute `sudo mdfind "com_apple_backup_excludeItem = 'com.apple.backupd'"` * [The ins and outs of using tmutil to backup, restore, and review Time Machine backups - krypted](https://krypted.com/mac-os-x/ins-outs-using-tmutil-backup-restore-review-time-machine-backups/) * [Consolation, T2M2, Ulbow and log utilities – The Eclectic Light Company](https://eclecticlight.co/consolation-t2m2-and-log-utilities/) - T2M2 (TheTimeMachineMechanic) summarise TM logs, Mints * [TM-Utilities - Arthur Rosel, Ltd.](http://7clinton.com/TM-UtilitiesHelp.html) * [Time Machine.md](https://gist.github.com/martian111/e0d9885004eb56fd6abf3d1ba7671737) Time Machine backup reliability: * [Why I Don’t Rely on Time Machine](https://joeontech.net/why-i-dont-rely-on-time-machine.html) * [Do you trust TimeMachine as backup/archival storage? : osx](https://www.reddit.com/r/osx/comments/4a8qtz/do_you_trust_timemachine_as_backuparchival_storage/) * [Never.Ever.Trust.Time.Machine! | MacRumors Forums](http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/never-ever-trust-time-machine.1721681/) * [Do not trust your Time Machine backups | Official Apple Support Communities](https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6323069?tstart=0) #### Similar tools * [Time Machine for every Unix out there - IMHO](https://blog.interlinked.org/tutorials/rsync_time_machine.html) `.snapshots/daily.0/` ```sh #!/bin/sh date=`date "+%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S"` HOME=/home/user/ rsync -aP \ --link-dest=$HOME/Backups/current\ $HOME $HOME/Backups/back-$date.incomplete mv $HOME/Backups/back-$date.incomplete $HOME/Backups/back-$date ln -sf back-$date $HOME/Backups/current ``` ```sh #!/bin/sh date=`date "+%Y-%m-%dT%H_%M_%S"` HOME=/home/user/ rsync -azP \ --delete \ --delete-excluded \ --exclude-from=$HOME/.rsync/exclude \ --link-dest=../current \ $HOME user@backupserver:Backups/incomplete_back-$date \ && ssh user@backupserver \ "mv Backups/incomplete_back-$date Backups/back-$date \ && ln -sf back-$date Backups/current" ``` See also [Easy Automated Snapshot-Style Backups with Rsync](https://web.archive.org/web/20230107111048/http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/) * [osx - Using rsync to backup - Ask Different](http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/224747/using-rsync-to-backup) * [How to install & compile rsync on Mac OSX](https://gist.github.com/Sounds-of-Science/7561838) - Install rsync 3.x on macOS without macport or brew * In Win 8+ use [File History](http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/how-use-file-history).

(restart and hold `CMD+R`) Generate a list of files: ``` LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 sudo find "/Volumes/Macintosh HD" -exec ls -Ald {} \; > tree.txt ``` Compare 2 version (before and after clean upgrade): ``` comm -13 <(cat tree-pristine.txt | grep -o '/Volumes/.*' - | sort) <(cat tree-dirty.txt | grep -o '/Volumes/.*' - | sort) ``` After OS update some config files are replaced, where then previous one are kept and renamed as \*\~orig or \*\~previous Note `dirname` command is not available in Recovery System Before remove, backup unwanted files: ``` mkdir -p "/Volumes/XX" && mv "/Volumes/XX/YY" "/Volumes/XX/ZZ/Volumes/XX/YY" ``` Files can be removed in 10.13.6: ``` # Not sure /Volumes/Macintosh HD/usr/share/current-os.sdk /Volumes/Macintosh HD/usr/libexec/cups/backend/cups-pdf find

Spotlight Importers are plug-ins for the Mac OS that a developer provides specifically for helping files created by their applications to be searchable within Spotlight. Spotlight crawls through its list of changed files, handing each one to the appropriate importer. The importers then read the files, compile a list of metadata, and then hand the metadata back to Spotlight. At this point, the changed file is available for searching within Spotlight. * [Spotlight and Document Bundles](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Carbon/Conceptual/MetadataIntro/Concepts/DocumentBundles.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002007) * [Section 11.8.
