[QUOTE="McBie, post: 1615859, member: 54417"] I have just been fiddling around with TimeMachine to try and find my Google browser favourites and restore them. No luck as TimeMachine does not backup the Library folder in my home folder. I could not believe that so I started investigating and came to the following conclusion. If your Library folder ( in your home directory ) is hidden in Finder, TimeMachine will not back it up. If the Library folder ( in your home directory ) is visible in finder, it will be backed up by TimeMachine. I tried it several times and this behaviour is consistent. Can anyone else do a quick test please to see if this is a standard feature of Yosemite. For all I know it has always been like that. Cheers ... McBie [/QUOTE]
