Do macOS and Time Machine create automatic snapshot backups?

Hello everyone,

A few weeks ago, I purchased my first Mac, specifically a Mac Mini M4. Since then, I’ve been getting familiar with its features and capabilities. One of the first things I did was set up Time Machine for hourly backups on an external SSD. It’s great to know that my data is being backed up regularly.

I have a question regarding backups within macOS. Apart from Time Machine, does macOS perform any automatic backups or snapshots on its own? I’m curious whether there are built-in features for data protection that I should be aware of. Thank you for any insights you can provide!
