vitaprimo Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I couldn't stand the downgrade to Mojave one more day and went back to High Sierra. Most of the apps I use aren't personalized or are synced through the Documents folder and Syncthing/Nextcloud, it completely escaped my mind to look for stuff to back up on the Library folder. I have 10day-old Time Machine backups on a server recent enough to recover my swatches, which is the only thing I need. Since I can't restore them on an older system anyway, I snooped around and found all the file system there, I just have to pick the right file. I found nothing under the Application Support Library but I did find a file under the Preferences Library for my old user which has a pointer to the iCloud local storage for the user. I went for the latest and it has nothing maybe because there weren't modifications to backup, I think, without the Time Machine UI I have to do this: Those are eight levels down a backup! Am I at least on the right place? Could you confirm? If I'm not, could you point me to the right folder? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I am not completely sure what you have stored in iCloud local storage, but this post by @Leigh should tell you all you need to know about where to find your per user Affinity settings & the file with your swatches in it (named "fills.propcol").
