One thought on “Backups vs. iCloud vs. Time Machine – Mac Geek Gab 668

  • Few things i wanted to mention.

    iCloud dont backup voice memo / recording. I have no idea why. And this is only backed up if you use iMazing or iTunes.
    iCloud Backup does not guarantee to be successful. While that was nearly 4 years ago now, the iCloud Backup said was corrupted and I was totally lucky i had an iTunes Backup.
    Does Time Machine do Check Sum with the Backup files and original ?
    And Time Machine does not protect against HDD failure. ( It is only 1 HDD )
    I really wish there is an iCloud Proxy; Or Time Capsule for iOS with the Time Capsule itself being backed up to iCloud Drive. What do you think of this idea?
