loganMac Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Hi, I already downloaded Sierra from App Store. If I want to save a backup, can I just go to Application folder and copy/paste Sierra app to my ext. hard drive so the next time I needed, i can just paste it to Application folder?

barijaona Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 From my experience, zip will lose rights on certain files. A Finder copy between 2 HFS+ disks will better preserve them.
