If you have an HFS+ volume separate from the one with the operating system, I don't think it will be touched external drives also won't be touched. To the best of my knowledge, upgrading a Mac from High Sierra to Mojave will convert the internal boot hard drive from HFS+ to APFS automatically, and there's no way around it. While I miss a few features in Quicken 2007 which don't exist in the new Quicken, I don't regret moving on in the slightest. That, along with the slow-but-steady improvements in the next-generation Quicken Mac, is what got me to finally say farewell to Quicken 2007. While Quicken 2007 is beloved by many for lots of good reasons, as you note, it's also prone to occasional data corruption issues. I'm very big on aesthetics, but the font on my checks is not something I'd focus much attention on. If that's what's holding you back from moving off Quicken 2007, I'd say to just let it go and move on. You can never have too many backups!)Īs for the font of the checks, yes, I hear you - but it it really that big a deal? A check is only a way to pay someone, and it's not even something you keep. (I've had a few near-disasters, which is why I now have Time Machine plus iDrive plus a full disk backup to a portable drive which I update every few months. (You could continue using the Time Capsule for its networking abilities.) You don't want to find out your backup is corrupted when you really need it to restore your valuable data. Time Machine remembers the backup disks it was using.Depending on the age of your Time Capsule, you might consider getting an inexpensive hard drive to use for Time Machine backups going forward.

Wait a few minutes to allow local snapshots to be deleted.

In macOS Monterey or earlier, deselect ”Back Up Automatically," or use the Off/On switch, depending on what you see.

In macOS Ventura or later, click Options, choose Manually from the "Back up frequency" pop-up menu, then click Done.

Turn off automatic backups in Time Machine settings:.

Or in macOS Monterey or earlier, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Time Machine.

Or in macOS Ventura or later, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, click General in the sidebar, then click Time Machine on the right.

Choose Time Machine settings (or preferences) from the Time Machine menu in the menu bar.

If you want to delete local snapshots manually, turn off automatic backups temporarily: In fact, your Mac counts the space used by snapshots as available storage.Įven so, Time Machine stores snapshots only on disks that have plenty of free space, and it automatically deletes snapshots as they age or as space is needed for other things. You don't need to think about how much storage space local snapshots are using, because they don't use space needed for tasks like downloading files, copying files, or installing new software.
