MacOS Recovery Stuff List

MacOS is Great for many things, such as Time Machine. But unluky, it’s not always reliable.

I only have one SSD for recovery, and the most trustless thing is I never tested the backup. And it’s impossible to test for every week’s backup -_- so when the backup file damaged … The only way is reinstall from scratch.
