![]() Both times the drive eventually became recognizable and self-repaired. and let it sit there for 15 - 30 minutes. The solution BOTH TIMES was to essentially plug the drive back in. In short, it was not ejected properly & the computer let me know it at the time. An external HD (a different WD My Passport) was inappropriately unplugged. Then I remembered that this type of thing happened before. and even tried to do these things on another MBP in the house. ![]() I have an external USB 3.0 WD My Passport that I use for my TM / and encrypted. The exact same thing happened to me - today. Not all is lost.įinally, if all else fails (say both Time Machines fail and CrashPlan goes out of business), you have a fully bootable clone.Īs long as you took steps to correct any failures as they occur, the liklihood of all backups failing at the same time (plus the original computer) are acceptably low in most circumstances. If you lose both Time Machine drives simultaneously (say, your kid decides to play with matches and your house burns down.), you can restore from CrashPlan+ (which also has versions) and start over on Time Machine backups. Additionally, you can swap out your Time Machine for the backup Time Machine and haven't lost anythying. If your Time Machine drive dies a horrible death or can't be accessed, you can restore a file from CrashPlan+. This is your last line of defense.īasically if you lose a file, you restore from Time Machine as always. * Use SuperDuper to create a bootable clone once a week. * Use SuperDuper (or something similar) to clone Time Machine drive to another external drive once a week. I know the OP probably knows this but for the benefit of anyone on the internet finding this post, I'll outline a few thoughts here. This is a bit scary but it just undermines the necessity for multiple backups, especially if you care about version history. ![]() Revertible: Yes (unlock and decryption required) CoreStorage logical volume groups (1 found) ![]()
