I am just wondering if there are any issues with Time Machine in Monterey after upgrading from Catalina? I have a Time Machine external HDD that I’ve been using since Mojave. I don’t want to lose all my backups going back to 2020. Any help would be appreciated.

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |
