Is that a Jaguar?
Not sure. Google brought it up in a search for Cheetah.

In a prepress environment you should always be one or two versions behind Apple's current version.

going to do my home computer first
I don't think it will go Sonoma tho, too old
macOS Sequoia is being released a week from today. You will already be behind before you get Sonoma installed. ;D

Quote from: Tracy on September 05, 2024, 09:31:58 AMI think the space setting was from my NAS? that's where my Time Machine currently is, It's a share on my NAS
I bought a Toshiba external USB to change, but of course I'm putting it off, just like my OS update.

Good Info here about finding the files!!!
Oh yeah...forgot you were using a NAS so that would be a NAS setting.

Fun fact...you don't have to go through Time Machine to restore files where it says "Browse Time Machine Backups".

You can go to it with the Finder like you do any other drive. Just double click on the drive and go to the most resent one and double click it. Then drill down to where your file is at. Copy it to where you need it.

I don't think there is a setting for amount of space. The only settings are that you can exclude certain disks or folders and how often to backup, ie...every hour, every day, every week, or manually. Manually of course would mean it would only do backups when you manually start one.

I was freaking out and I found it with Time Machine!  Feels like a good day!  ;D
I had to figure out how to get a file, but it worked.
It looks like my Time Machine is only backing up for a month so I lucked out.

I have to be more careful! I don't leave things on the desktop and I have a backup.
I think I threw away the file thinking I already put it on the server.  ::)

Time Machine should be backing up several times a day unless you don't have the backup disk connected and turned on at your Mac. After the initial full backup it only backs up new or changed files after that. It won't start deleting older backups unless the backup disk runs out of space.

There is. Get rid of the transparency applied to it..
