Request: Option to set default folder for backup
Posted: Sat Jan 21, 2023 12:13 am
I appreciate the automatic backups option. I would also appreciate an option to set the location for the automatic backups. I am trying to manage where backup files are stored in reference both to having limited storage space and to limiting Time Machine storage. I would also like a more transparent way to access the backup files directly in order to archive them, meaning to move them to an off-line (external) storage and delete their primary library.
I have my internal drive broken into volumes, one of which is Databases and another of which is Archives. I store my Libraries and Attachments in the former. I would intend to store intermediate backups in the former as well, while I would force the final backups (upon closing the library) into the latter.
