Waiting for the Time Machine

A few subtle changes in MasOS Tahoe. It automatically colours some folders, but only lets a user colour certain ones. I'm sticking to the defaults so I don't get wrong-footed. Interestingly, some of these features don't get remarked upon in user documentation. 


Another interesting feature is the way the Time Machine backup suddenly stopped working. For me, it's an extra backup, so not totally essential, but I back up my iMac Studio to my second Synology using a Time Machine virtual disk (I know, I know). Anyway, it stopped working, so I now need to recreate the backup - as well as to delete the old one. Currently, it's bluffing by telling me it will take 6 days.

My usual backups are via Synology Backup, btw.

And now Synology is telling me I really should update its Disk Storage Manager. Fun and games, eh?
