Recover from erased MacOS?

[EZhere]

Fellows, I somehow erased the backup OS otherwise stored on my MBA M1, i.e. such that it’s not there to restore=&. Hopefully, some wise soul knows a solution to get a system online? I am otherwise down, here.

Do you have another Mac available?

Will it do internet recovery? Hold Cmd-Opt-R when it boots. Helps to have a fast internet connection.

I do have another Mac but it’s Intel, i.e. pre M-1. The MBA M1 will not do internet recovery due to the erased system.

I do have another Mac. The MBA will not do internet recovery due to the erased partitio.

You should be back up and running very quickly.

But did you erase the backup of the backup (Yes, I'm serious)? See "Fallback recovery"

Startup modes for M1 Macs

M1 Macs don’t use that warren of startup key combinations, but a logical structure of choices, mostly when starting up in Recovery Mode. Here are the full details.
