Default Re: Mac High Sierra release date Monday, 9\25\17.

"I can't see any reason Pro Tools users should be rushing to upgrade to High Sierra.

Time machine? Anybody risking being at the bleeding edge of OS X releases and relying on Time Machine deserve all the downtime they get.

And nobody should be trying stuff out by upgrading a running system. If you want to be at the bleeding edge, do a clean install on a spare drive or partition and leave your current system boot image alone and a reboot to recover away.

And bootable image backups made just in case with Carbon Copy Cloner or similar.

Ironically eventually High Sierra APFS should help provide a real base for a robust version of time machine. Eventually, once APFS gets stabilized and supported across non-FLASH storage, etc. I'd be hesitant to run on APFS without a great reason.

Agree. Nicely said.
