I really need help backing up my mac with Wd My Passport HELP Hi Im new to this site and I dont' know a lot about computers and my laptop disc apparently is full.

I just bought a WD My Passport for Mac and Time Machine repeatedly backed up my computer to the point that it used all the memory in the external hardrive. I would like to wipe it clean and once I have done that, just back up my computer once then turn off the time machine.

In the respects of the Western Digital external hard drive. All you have to do is just connect the external hard drive to your MAC, go to time machine, set up time machine to your preferences, if your WD is like mine, you'll get the WD program that you actually run to back up your MB or MBP. I haven't had to do that recently, I am just going from memory. You probably don't want to update weekly, I update everytime have to update my MBP or add new itunes to my library.

(That keeps everything current.) The awesome thing about time machine, if you screw up something you can go back in time and essentially 'reset' everything without worry. Hopefully you won't have to rely on this, but if you do something stupid like delete an important app, this will be beneficial.

You might want to see if there is an Apple User Group in your area as these organizations can be of great help to inexperienced users. Information and Recommendations on Cloning Hard Drives Cloning Benefits Cloning a hard drive is when you create an exact copy of one drive's contents to another, which has been made quite simple with the availability of high-capacity external drives, simple connectivity, and highly developed cloning software.

Many troubleshooting guides include recommendations for 'cloning' your system's boot drive. Various MacFixIt articles references this, and it is advocated in discussion forums and other places as an alternate means of backing up the hard drive before performing system maintenance, system alterations, or software upgrades. Unlike conventional backup systems such as Time Machine, which keep multiple versions of files and track changes over time, cloning only makes one copy of the files on a disk; however, it does have one major advantage in that the clone is bootable. This means that in the event of a hardware failure or major software corruption you can immediately boot off the cloned drive and be running again in a matter of seconds.

Visual studio. Let’s look at this. Designing, developing and running Azure Functions works like a charm in Visual Studio 2017 on Microsoft Windows, but how does this look for someone running macOS or Linux? Functions can be regarded as an service that performs abstraction to the max, abstracting from servers, and even away from applications. Code + Events & Data = Azure Functions – it’s as easy as that! Microsoft might be a bit late at the party, but their Functions concept works nicely and is based on a full-fledged open source runtime environment. So what are Azure Functions?
