Back up your Mac (recommended)
Innsegall does not back up files for you. After a scare, Time Machine or cloud backup is your safety net.
- Set up Time Machine. Apple’s built-in Time Machine is your best defense against malware or accidental deletion. Plug in an external hard drive, go to System Settings → General → Time Machine, and turn it on. It runs quietly in the background and saves everything automatically.
- Use a secure cloud backup. If your external drive is lost or damaged, a cloud backup keeps you safe. Services like iCloud Drive, Google Drive, or Microsoft OneDrive can automatically sync your active work folders.
