Back up and restore your Mac with Time MachineHow to set up, configure, and dive deeply into Time Machine, the built-in backup feature on your Mac.
Time Machine is a built-in backup solution for macOS, and comes standard on every Mac. It automatically makes backups of your Mac onto an external drive. It's easy to set up, and after that, you don't even need to worry about it. But there are ways that you can customize your Time Machine experience if you so desire.

What is Time Machine?
Time Machine is Apple's built-in solution for backing up macOS. You can connect an external hard drive over USB or Thunderbolt (or FireWire, for older Macs) for a wired connection, or over a network for a wireless connection. Time Machine backs up every hour, deleting older backups as the backup drive starts running out of space.
It's a great first layer to any backup solution, and it's included right in the operating system.
