Where you will start at this point also depends on what you may have already backed up to the Passport and if you are using the pre-installed Passport software. Version OS X 10.9.5.ĭepends on the backup software you use, what backup strategy you implement, and what you need to backup. Quite basic questions for you Apple folk, but the answers would help me and others a great deal. If all the above are backed-up, if I change as much as a DoB on a Word document, will that document then be backed-up with the changes? If my whole mbp is in My Passport, I can't see it. I have 2 Trees on my software, but I can't see if they are in there for me to re-open from My Passport. Whilst I can see the FTM.app, I cannot open to see whats inside.
I also have lots of saved info downloaded from the net, e.g., photos and census stuff. They take ages to translate and I would hate to lose them. It contains all my tree data, and lots and lots of Microsoft Word word-processed documents, eg, vast type-ups of Wills etc. I have lots of data on my mbp, namely, Family Tree Maker software (from .uk). It does not look like it contains much therefore I am worried. If I lost everything, would My Passport be able to reinstate my MacBook Pro in it's entirety?
