[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1899227, member: 396914"] Patrick, my own observation is that most of the problems with TM are user-induced. Because Finder can open and display what is in the TM backup, naive users think it's just another drive full of files. When they reach into that set of links and make a change, the backup is damaged, usually pretty badly, by broken links. It may have been better if Apple just didn't allow that to happen, but it's not really a software issue as much as a user issue. Except for network drives, I've never seen TM fail for me. As a side note, TM changed significantly in Monterey to where it stores snapshots of the system instead of the heavily linked setup of earlier versions. Maybe that will reduce the number of user-induced issues. [/QUOTE]
