Can Time Machine sync 2 mac computers?

by Poster Apr 1, 2025 17
I have an idea, is it possible to backup hourly incremental backups to the nas at home through time machine. Then when I get home, I restore my mac at home to the time node at work and continue to work, and then incrementally backup it to my nas at home. After I arrive at work, I continue to restore it to the last updated time node at home. I don't know if it is possible, if the 2 macs are both the same model + the same username mac

    The experience should be dramatically poor...

    What you mean is Onedrive or not?

    That is to say, since we all need a high-quality network to back up data, isn't it more convenient to directly control it remotely

    mackup synchronization configuration scm sync code Other tools don't know what synchronization you are going to use

    Why not use: syncthing

    Log in to 2 macs with the same appleid, the files will be automatically synchronized when placed in icloud, no time machine is needed

    @ Anonymous10380 I want to synchronize the development environment too

    No solution, a time machine only supports one device

    Keep working … git..? The development environment generally does not change frequently, right

    What is a development environment? Can't you just drag the entire toolchain to the mobile hard disk? TM isn't for this

    It is not recommended to do this, the cost is relatively high

    Even if onedrive, which specializes in this, synchronizes a large number of small files, it is easy to cause problems

    @ Anonymous3968 # 5 I also use syncthing, non-sensitive synchronization, very easy to use
