The other option would be to buy a 2 TB hard drive and individually back up the files that I want to save.
that seems a bit excessive because I only use one terabyte on my computer. So that would mean I need to by a 4 TB hard drive. Originally I wanted to use Time Machine to back up my computer, but I saw online that you should buy a hard drive that is twice as big as the computer you’re backing up. My question is what is the best way to back up a mac that has a lot of storage? Over the course of using it I have photos and other documents that are not backed up. Hi all! I have been using a 2015 15-inch MacBook Pro for three years.
