How to Restore Files and Folders with Time Machine #

The most convenient way to restore individual files and folders is by using Time Machine’s snapshot feature. Here, you can see all the different past versions of your files and folders saved since you first enabled Time Machine to automatically store this data. Here’s how to restore it:

Step 1 To open Time Machine on Mac, launch System Preferences > Time Machine.

Step 2 On the Time Machine window, tick the box for the “Show Time Machine in menu bar” setting.

Step 3 On the top-right corner of the Apple menu bar, click the Time Machine button and select “Enter Time Machine.”

Step 4 Browse through snapshots using the arrow buttons on the right side of the screen. Select the snapshot you want to recover, then click “Restore”.
