In the past, I’ve used an Ethernet cable to connect Mac to Time Capsule. However, while WiFi is perfect for incremental backups, it would be a stupidly slow way to do a migration or restore. Any time the Mac is at home, I get fully automatic, hourly Time Machine backups without having to do so much as plug in a drive. I’m a greater believer in the adage that the only 100% reliable backup regime is one that requires zero user intervention, and the Time Capsule achieves that. My primary Time Machine backup is to a Time Capsule.
#MACBOOK DAYONE DIARLY PRO#
That pain did kick it on day one, however, when I attempted to migrate my data, apps and settings from my old MacBook Pro … After that, we’d be moaning about the fact that we have only two USB-C ports because there’s space taken up with those huge, ugly, old-fashioned USB-A ones.
You could argue that a mix of ports would be useful, but that would be true for maybe the first year of ownership. When a better standard comes along, it makes sense to use it, and as Apple isn’t the only company going all-in on USB-C, there’s no shortage of accessories for the new standard. I’m pretty relaxed about the all-USB-C ports. Leaving older standards behind always involves a certain amount of pain, but I’m a pragmatist and a gadget guy. I wrote in the first piece that I was wasn’t overly concerned about the port situation, though did recognize that it wouldn’t be an entirely painless transition. My shiny new maxed-out 15-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar finally arrived yesterday, and it was time to migrate everything from my old Mac.
