I saw that my Time Machine was no longer working. Why has the “Back That Mac Up” app been deleted?

Now that they have [Umbrel Files](https://community.umbrel.com/t/introducing-files-the-new-file-browser-on-umbrelos/21126) there is no need for it, you can directly use storage as time machine.

Sure does. I asked Grok. Just follow instructions. For example type into Grok: “How to run Time Machine with macOS on Umbrel”. It was easy 🙂  
Good luck!
