Hi I have a little external drive that I keep connected to my iMac and Time Machine backs up to it every hour. Then I have another one that I would connect to my MacBook when I got a reminder from my computer every 10 days. After it backed up I switched them so both drives got both computers.

A few weeks ago I upgraded both computers to Sonoma and now I don't get reminders any more. I looked in TM options but didn't see a way to turn them on. Are they gone now?

Does TM have reminders?

I put reminders in the ... (wait for it) Reminders app.

IAC when I got this new computer all my Reminders came along for the
ride and were still there after I updated to Sonoma. (Via iCloud - part
of that seamless thing the trolls hate).

So next question is: are your reminders in iCloud? (Yes, upgrading to
Sonoma should not have lost your reminders).

TimeMachine has notifications if you have a backup drive you haven't
used in a while.

This is a nomenclature thing.

He's talking about small "r" reminders, not big "R" Reminders from the app.

Just a SWAG, but whatever is doing the reminders (e.g. some TO-DO app like
2Do, a calendar app like BusyCal, or the Apple Reminders app), are
notifications enabled for the app under the Notifications System Preference?

I just checked on my Ventura system and there are Notifications settings for
each of those apps. When I deleted and re-added Texty recently, I had to
re-enable Notifications for it.

I'm not sure Time Machine notifications are visible in that interface.

However, if you're simply wanting to be reminded every 10 days to swap
backup drives, a simple reminder in the Reminders app would be perfectly
sufficient.

I see. On my old iMac I've discontinued TM.

Haven't set it up on the new iMac - but have been doing manual snapshots
of some work folder every 3 or 4 days.

So nobody knows how to get them back? Are they gone b'cuz of Sonoma? I guess its like mouse battery level the computer doesn't remind you any more you have to make your own reminders. :(

I wish Apple hadn't taken them all out. Why not just leave them in and let ppl decide whether to use them or not??

Manual backups are a great way to lose important changes.

opposed to work from home) is still being backed up automatically and

Hah, I got a reminder on my MacBook yesterday it said TM hadn't run in 28 days. Haven't gotten one on the iMac yet I forget when I switched disks on that one. So maybe the reminders are still there but now 28 instead of 10 days. That seems too long so i think I'll make a reminder in Calendar instead..
