Almost certainly a PEBCAK error...

Yeah they should realize people don't want to be inconvenienced like
that do things a lot faster like the old ChronoSync and Synchronize Pro
programs. I've never had any problem with ChronoSync messing up when I
back up my Tiger system. It's really fast but I don't use it to back
the whole hard drive up, just selected folders that are important to
me. You turn each folder into its own ChronoSync file and then all you
do is click the file and confirm you want it backed up to the target.

Notice you Apple zealots hate facts, but you never provide any facts.
*All you do is deny every fact you hate about Apple products.*
Which... is a LOT of facts.

For example, note that it is I who provided the cite saying that Apple's
implementation of scheduled messaging in iOS 18, like most of Apple's
messaging, doesn't actually work in the real world. Surprise. Surprise.

According to this cite, it works only in the walled garden.
