Hello.
I have a 2017 MacBook and itβs plugged into charge of teacher by external USB hard drive.
Iβm using Time Machine.
The backup is gonna take a really long time, and Iβll probably fall asleep whilst it happens.
If my Mac falls asleep or whatever, will it still do the Time Machine backup?, what if I close the lid of my MacBook, will it still do the Time Machine backup whilst the lid is closed?
Thank you for the suggestions.
