It's easy.

Go to System Settings --> Control Center --> Time Machine --> Show in Menu Bar.

Enjoy!

time machine icon missing . MacBook Air M2 Can someone tell me how to get the Time Machine icon back on the top bar. It used to be there so I could be able to order "back up now" and watch progress. But suddenly one day I noticed it was missing (I think it may possibly have been after an update). I have checked the settings and the box is checked to show it. I am wondering if it is because there is just no room for it?

Time Machine Icon not showing at top of screen Can someone tell me how to get the Time Machine icon back on the top bar, or how to check the progress. I saw an answer to a similar question saying to tick the box on system preferences but I can't even find that. I have a system settings for Time Machine but there is basically nothing there.
