MacVoices: Jeff Carlson explains macOS Snapshots and how to use ‘em

On the new episode of MacVoices, Jeff Carlson joins host Chuck Joiner to draw on information from his Take Contol of Your Digital Storage book to help us understand macOS snapshots. 

A function of recent version of macOS, snapshots facilitate backups and data recovery in a way that is similar to, but different from, Time Machine. In the first part of the discussion, Carlson and Joiner develop an unusual analogy to help you understand how snapshots work, how they fit in with Time Machine, and where to find them on your Mac.
