Time machine

Will time machine back up all users on my iMac. If I buy a new imac will it restore all users at once,or do they have to be restored one at a time?

I believe TM will back up all users. And it should restore all users if you take the first opportunity on the first boot to let it migrate back. At that point the new iMac should import all things from the backup and restore all accounts. At least that is how it has worked for me.

Thank y’all

Time Machine does back up all users. If one uses the Migration Assistant utility, individual users/files can be chosen for selective backup.
