Die Dateien liegen klar im Backup Ziel und mehrere Versionen werden beibehalten. Auch nett, um mal schnell ein Backup auf einer externen Festplatte zu machen. Was hilft das tollste Backup, wenn man nix wieder raus bekommt. Unter macOS allerdings mit Homebrew "rsync" installieren, weil Apple da letztens was vermurkst hat.
