4 years agoYou're welcome. And you're right, in terms of the local cache, nothing has been removed. :+1: That said the local cache was not designed to be a backup.

For example, it doesn't have its own versioned snapshots: for the local cache to serve as a backup we'd be reliant on an external source like Time Machine to serve that purpose. Fortunately most folks concerned about local backups do have something like Time Machine set up. I think we can do more/better here though, and hopefully that'll prove to be the case. 🤞🏻
