  • Imore | Restoring files and your entire hard drive with Apple's Time Machine
  • Apple's built-in Time Machine app makes it simple to back up Mac data. When the time comes to restore some of those files (or your entire Mac), Apple also makes that easy. Here's how to restore from backup using the Time Machine app in macOS Mojave.

    Great backup drives

    Restoring files from a Time Machine backup

    1. Select System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    2. Choose the Time Machine icon.

    3. Check the box next to Show Time Machine in menu bar.
    4. Click Enter Time Machine after clicking the Time Machine icon in the Menu bar.

    5. Find the file or folder in question and click Restore.

    You're all set! Time Machine will copy that file back to its original location on your hard drive.

    Restoring your hard drive from a Time Machine backup

    Whether you're having major problems with your current hard drive or upgrading to a new Mac, Time Machine can help you get back on track.

    1. Power up your Mac and hold down the Command and R keys to enter the macOS Recovery Partition. Your Mac should boot to a screen that says macOS Utilities.
    2. Select Restore from Time Machine Backup and click Continue.
    3. Read the info on the Restore Your System page and click Continue.

    4. Select your Time Machine backup and click Continue.
    5. Select the most recent backup of your hard disk and click Continue. Your Mac will then restore the Time Machine backup; once it's done it will restart.

    If you've had to replace it with a stock drive that has nothing on it—not even macOS—you won't be able to boot from the macOS Recovery Partition. But fear not, you can get the recovery rolling from the Time Machine backup disk itself: Just hold down the Option key when you start your Mac; you'll be able to select the Time Machine backup disk as your startup drive and go from there.
