Recover from TimeMachine backup?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I recently needed to reformat the hard drive on my iMac and do a clean install of the OS and didn’t use Time Machine to recover everything from the external drive backup since I wanted a fresh start with my drive. (Also I did not have it backed up to the DayOne cloud.) Is there a way to manually move my Day One data from the backup disk so I can get my journals back? Is there a file in the Library folder or similar with the data?

    I have the original Plus account, not the month subscription. Seems like you no longer offer email support?

    Never mind, I found the answer here:

    Data Loss and Recovery Options

    I had been looking for the User Library folder but forgot that MacOS hides that. Once unhidden I was about to find the files and I have my journal entries back.

    I’m so glad you were able to find that hidden folder and get everything back as they should be! Please, do let us know if you need further help with anything
