Does home folder include all the data the user has ever had on the Mac?Ģ) Assuming I lost my Mac and the time machine backup, after installing the OS on a new Mac, Is home folder all I need to restore the new Mac so that the new Mac is equal to my lost Mac? Or I also have to reinstall all the application softwares installed on the old Mac?ģ) Is it possible to setup the ARQ backup such that all the new Mac needs to install is the OS and without the need of installing any other software, just like the time machine restore? I know this is not recommended, but for a non computer person, it is the simplest way to make a new Mac equal to the lost Mac. I am not a computer person and have the following elementary questions and hope someone can help answer them.ġ) ARQ suggests and make it very simple to backup only the home folder.

Hope someone can help answer some basic questions about how to use ARQ. I know you don't work for them, but I think they should give you a commission, haha!

I am also very grateful that you put all the effort into researching.

I have been following this thread for a while, but never made the decision to jump on the Arq/Amazon Cloud Drive solution as I thought having backups on two different hard drives was sufficient for me.
