Hi Robert, If you were referring to a thread I started a while back, yes, I use to use Time Machine to back up data files and NO you shouldn't do that :-). I still use TimeMachine to back up the 4D Server, but explicitly exclude the datafiles by adding them to the excluded file list in the Time Machine options.
I do run the built in backup every night and in my "On Backup Startup" I make a copy of the journal file to another location so I can use the uncompressed journal files for change histories on tables and fields (using LogTools by Tony Ringsmuth - http://bbsp.com/) dave On Thu, Mar 8, 2018 at 12:18 PM, Robert C.
