Let us discuss the points in detail:

Part 1: at first, back up Your Mac to an External Drive

So, to back up the file to avoid losing data because of the resetting procedure, you can go for software such as Time machine or EaseUS. Using these software’s you can easily make a backup to your Apple devices such as MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, or any other external hard drive system.

Talking about Time Machine software, it is inbuilt Apple software which allows us to backup music, apps, all your files, documents, photos, system files and much more to an external drive easily.

While on the other hand, EaseUS, third-party backup software is much more flexible than the inbuilt program and thus offers following benefits over the inbuilt one:

•    Time machine only offers the feature of backup files to an external drive whereas EaseUS offers the backup of files not only to the external drive but also to the internal drive as well on your Mac.
•    Compression feature is also available with the third party backup tool. You can backup and thus can lead saving up more space on your target device.  
•    There is a problem with Time Machine; it’s that you have to back up all the supported files. You cannot choose the selective files but in EaseUS, you can select the specific files to backup on your Mac.

So, I think the result is clear! EaseUs is more versatile and easy to use than Time Machine. We personally recommend you to go for this third-party software tool to let your work done without any hassle.
