Guest /u/needatudor Posted December 22, 2024 Posted December 22, 2024 So here’s my dilemma . . . I currently have a 512gb Mac Mini, I’m looking to upgrade to a newer 512gb Mac Mini. On my current device, I have 280GB available storage (with iCloud photo library turned to optimize storage). I performed a Time Machine backup on a 1TB external SSD, and it took up about 700GB of storage. So my question is, do I need to now purchase a 1TB Mac Mini to properly restore Time Machine backup? I am assuming, not sure, but assuming that the Time Machine backup downloaded and saved all of my photos full res directly to the external SSD. I don’t know why else my storage would jump from 230 to 700. submitted by /u/needatudor [link] [comments]
