I am going through a problem in organising my new MacBook Professional with the configuration from my older MacBook Professional, which is situated at a distant website. This is my scenario:
-
Distant MacBook Professional (15-inch, 2018): Accessible by way of TeamViewer.
-
Native MacBook Professional (16-inch, 2019), that I wish to arrange (right here with me).
Aim: Switch the setup (knowledge, apps, settings) – or near a duplicate – from the distant Mac to the brand new one
Initially, I thought-about utilizing Migration Assistant, however I’ve hit a roadblock:
Migration Assistant requires each Macs to be on the identical community, which is not potential with my distant setup.
There is no choice inside Migration Assistant to repeat contents to iCloud or the same cloud storage service.
Whereas I’ve full management of the distant MacBook Professional by way of TeamViewer, I am not sure methods to proceed with transferring the entire setup. I am in search of different strategies emigrate all the pieces from the distant Mac to my new native machine.
Some choices I’ve thought-about:
- Handbook file switch utilizing TeamViewer
- Utilizing cloud providers to sync knowledge
- Making a disk picture of the distant Mac’s drive
- Third-party distant backup options
Has anybody efficiently accomplished the same distant setup between two Macs? What strategies or instruments would you advocate for transferring all the pieces (or as a lot as potential) from a distant Mac to a brand new native Mac?
I am notably considering options that:
- Can work over an web connection (not requiring native community entry)
- Is appropriate with TeamViewer distant entry
- Can switch not simply information, but additionally purposes and system settings if potential
- In all fairness user-friendly
Any recommendation, step-by-step guides, or beneficial instruments could be tremendously appreciated.
