Using the time Machine to backup Mac tutorials

Connect the removable hard drive to the Mac and you will be asked if you want to use the drive for backup through the time machine. Please select encrypt to backup disk (recommended), and then click as backup disk.

If the time Machine does not ask if you are using your drive, follow these steps to add it manually:

1. Select menu > system preferences, and then click time Machine.

2. Click "Select backup disk" (or "Select disk" or "add or remove backup disk"):

3. Select your external drive from the list of available disks. Then select encrypted backup (recommended) and click use disk:

If the disk you selected is not formatted as required by the time Machine, you will be prompted to erase the disk first. Click "erase" to continue. This operation will erase all information on the backup disk.

Enjoy the convenience of automatic backup

After you select the backup disk, the time Machine immediately starts automatic regular backups without the need for further action. The first backup may take a long time, depending on the number of files, but you can continue to use Mac during the backup. Time Machine will only back up files that have changed since the last backup, so future backups will be faster.

To start the backup manually, choose backup now from the time Machine icon menu in the menu bar. Using this menu, you can also view the status of a backup or skip a backup in progress.
