The issue that makes Time Machine more difficult in terms of options for backup locations is that it requires use of Apple’s proprietary HFS+ filesystem. Although I’m certain the HFS+ features that Time Machine uses for file versioning and linking could be “mimicked” for use on other more open filesystems, the reality is that Apple chose HFS+ and supports that filesystem exclusively in Time Machine (in fact as of this writing Apple’s new APFS isn’t even supported for Time Machine backups as of yet).

To get a list of available software updates, type the following command:
softwareupdate -l
You will see a list of available updates. You can then install all available software updates with the following command:
sudo softwareupdate -iva
The use of sudo is required to get superuser privileges to actually install the updates. You can also install only the recommended updates with:
sudo softwareupdate -irv
Launch Terminal app in your /Applications/Utilities folder.
Time Machine on or off
sudo tmutil enable
sudo tmutil disable
Run a Time Machine backup
tmutil startbackup
Stop a backup
tmutil stopbackup
You can try booting from OS X recovery by holding CMD + R at the time of startup. Once booted from OS X recovery, select Terminal from the utilities and then at the unix prompt enter:
sudo diskutil unmountDisk /dev/(enter here disk identifier name)
sudo diskutil unmount force /dev/(enter here disk identifier name)
When I’m packaging an application for deployment, I normally download the latest version from the vendor. If it’s a drag-and-drop install, where the application is a self-contained bundle, it will get the com.apple.quarantine extended attribute associated with it.
The quarantine attribute is added by the OS so that it can ask for user confirmation the first time the downloaded program is run. Gatekeeper in Lion and Mountain Lion also uses the com.apple.quarantine attribute to determine if an application should be checked (and blocked if needed.)
To avoid issues with both unwanted messages and Gatekeeper, I normally clear this attribute as part of my packaging. Here’s how to check to see if your application has the com.apple.quarantine attribute associated with it:
1. Open Terminal
2. Run the following command:
xattr /path/to/MyApp.app
If the com.apple.quarantine attribute is associated with the application, you should see the following output:
xattr /path/to/MyApp.app com.apple.quarantine
Note: Other attributes may also be listed, with com.apple.FinderInfo being a common one.
To remove the quarantine attribute, you would then run the following command:
sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/MyApp.app
That will recursively remove the com.apple.quarantine attribute from the application. The -r option will allow the quarantine attribute of all files inside the application to be selected, while the -d option causes the given attribute name (and associated value) to be removed.
macOS Recovery makes it easy to reinstall the Mac operating system, even if you need to erase your startup disk first. All you need is a connection to the Internet. If a wireless network is available, you can choose it from the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar. This menu is also available in macOS Recovery.
These advanced steps are primarily for system administrators and others who are familiar with the command line. You don’t need a bootable installer to install macOS, but it can be useful when you want to install macOS on multiple computers without downloading the installer each time.
If you are a constant-on Time Machine user, you won’t even notice when a scheduled backup is taking place. That’s because Time Machine is designed to work quietly and slowly in the background. Most of your regular backups are incremental and therefore don’t need much power. If you only back up your Mac once per week (or longer), Time Machine has a lot more work to do, but still runs quietly and slowly in the background. Using this Terminal command, you will disable the disk operation throttling so Time Machine will run faster.
