[QUOTE="Gnomac43, post: 1919322, member: 414907"] Thanks a lot for that. I understood that is a mess, full stop. I didn't face the problems of that thread, but I do see a bigger problem, not even with an admin user I can find my files in the entire TM blocks of snapshots, but I can find them with the user interface of TM. In general, I don't trust this backup method, or at least is not the ONLY one I can rely on. I should always have something simple like an option to make copy paste of all the folders/files, rather than figuring out how TM may or may not work at the last moment... I think that the following compromise can be applied: 1. I keep using iCloud, and pay 7 pounds a month for 2TB 2. I'll have TM setup anyway, with all the files present on the disk. This implies that I have to rip off my wallet with a 2400 pounds machine minimum. 3. I need to use another 2TB drive for a simple copy-paste backup solution, but I'll buy 4TB to be safe, almost same price. 4. I'll need to pay another Cloud solution, most probably Dropbox because it supports incremental sync, that would work from the external location, hopefully I don't face problems with the PATH every time I reconnect the disk... 5. I need to pay MS 365 anyway, which makes the entire story quite sad. Currently that partition is set on the same M2 and it's so small that I can't sync up almost anything, it's just on demand... The implementation was also not very easy, I had to re-partition the disk, basically formatting everything if I recall well... I could have probably used a secondary disk but at that time I was trying to fit everything on one disk, that exhausted very soon... I don't see any option on the menu to change the PATH, but probably the reinstallation of the application could fix it... I do know though that the App settings don't disappear in MacOS, the software removal is just removing the "package" from "Apps"........ I think I'll find my way on this but still not clarified.
