Backup failed: lack of space on recovery drive D

• Time Capsule backups fail 'lack of space'

  I have two 3 TB time Capsules airport here at home network with an iMac and MacBook Pro 2.  All computers are up-to-date with the latest version of the software for Mac OS x (10.11.5) and the two time Capsules have been updated with the latest firmware yesterday (May 30, 2016).  I get the same error message that does not respect the backup, or for both, readers of time capsule due to lack of space.

  How is that possible?  I thought that TC permanently erased the last backup to make room for the next backup... aren't these differential backups?  Are a number of safeguards supposed to be kept?  Or over a certain period of time?

  Is the solution here to add a few more disk space for the time capsule airport with USB drives?

  Thanks for your help.

  Time Machine usually works very well to delete backups of older (and small) "extra" type on the Time Capsule, but if the disk is full, and all of a sudden you add lots of new data to your Mac as an update of the operating system, or enlarge them or video files... which adds a lot of new data to your computer... and then the Time Machine can not delete older files to make room the new, much larger that new normal backup which would be necessary.

  When this happens, you have 3 Basic, in order of most expensive options on the bottom:

  • Add another new Time Capsule and start backups to go
  • Add a USB to a Time Capsule and start to go back up
  • Clear the Time Capsule disk and start over again with the backups with the drawback that you will lose your history backups

  In fact, there is a fourth option... that I do not recommend... and it is to go back into your files to backup using the Finder and delete older backups manually.  The drawback here is that it is a long and tedious process, and there is a very real danger that the entire file backup for Mac may be corrupt, make the file useless.

• Error message saying no disk space on recovery drive E

  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron which is only a few months old and I use Vista Home Premium. I constantly receive an error message indicating that the recovery E: disk space is full. I went to the computer to check the available disk space and the bar is completely RED for drive E: of recovery. I have a lot of available memory on drive C: I tried to Defrag disk and disk cleanup. Disk Cleanup says 0 bytes will be released by empty my trash. That's because my basket is empty! I deleted all temporary internet files. I did a virus scan. I tried to save recovery E: files to an external site, but could not do this. I tried to delete the files and received a warning message if I did not complete this task. I copied the files to a folder of Documents, but that solves nothing. I called Dell Support and they said something on the partition. I tried to create my backup disks, but this error seems to be the way because he won't let me do this or the other. I cleaned my images and deleted all of the videos. I did everything that I know to free up space. I don't want to disable the error message, as some have suggested. I tried previously posted questions and answers on the forum, but I am unable to find my EXACT problem. If it is there, then I don't understand computer Lingo. My laptop is only a few months old, so I haven't added a large number of files. Why is that happening and how can I solve the problem? Please help!

  Dell computers are shipped with a recovery partition you can use to restore the computer to the way it was when it was new (usually by pressing F12 when the computer starts).   The problem is not that the recovery partition is almost full.  The problem is that Windows Vista should not access that partition at all and shouldn't the user.

  To delete the partition of Windows Vista and avoid the error message, remove the drive letter:

  1. click on the Start button.
  2 type diskmgmt.msc in the Search box and press enter .
  3. click continue at the user account control prompt.
  4. when the disk management window, right-click the E: partition, click change drive letter and paths... and click Remove .
  5. click on Yes .

  You have the D: drive in the system restore?

  If your computer is save restore for D: points, this could cause it to use space for no apparent reason.

  Look for a folder named "System Volume Information" at the root of D:

  I guess that you do not use the D: drive to store personal files or Exchange files...

  Hello

  Essentially, you should not touch the recovery partition. The error message occurs because the additional files are stored there evil. HP provides this advice on the problem, other manufacturers are similar:http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01508532&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en

• System backup fails with the error no disk space

  I have a Dell laptop with Vista. There E. internal recovery disc I saved 1/2011, but subsequent backups fail, no disk space. The previous backup should be deleted everything first?  I'm afraid to delete all files on the recovery drive for fear of a further backup failure.  If there are files already on the drive if no changes have been made their backup just jump on them and backup new files?  I'm not a computer guru so sorry if these are questions fans.

  Hello

  When you set up your computer, you must create a backup image of the Windows computer, which is like taking a snapshot of the programs, system and files on your computer settings. You can use this backup if your computer ever stops. Although this type of backup includes your personal files, we recommend that you back up your files regularly using the back up files Wizard. You must also update the Windows complete PC backup image every six months.

  If you copied the data from drive E to another location, then it is safe to delete the content in the reader.

• Help! Went to format my D recovery drive and now the recovery partition is gone!

  Hi everyone, thanks for reading and I would really appreciate the help! I use a HP G32 laptop, Windows 7 operating system. n in the middle of trying to free up space on recovery drive D, I went to the format is gone and now the recovery and empty of my D drive partition! Tried to retrieve the file, but to no avail! No idea what I can do? Thank you very much!!!

  That's what does_removes put in shape all the files. You burn your set of recovery disks? If so, you can start their relocation back to factory specifications that will recreate the recovery partition. Please note that this format the entire hard drive, which means that you save the files, photos, etc. before the race. If you burn your recovery DVD set, that you can order from HP for about $20.

• Rescue and recovery of backup fails: current drive does not match the previous backup

  I have just rebuild my T60p with a new hard drive for the recovery of Lenovo CD via the rescue and recovery CD. Once the system restore is complete and the laptop running, I took a full backup using Rescue and Recovery. This backup is the C:\ drive which was the only drive I had and was on a USB hard drive.

  In recent days I have the C:\ split in two, giving me a new D: drive, patched all system software, added my own data, and obtained the machine configuration as I want. I've also trashed the R & R hidden partition so I could make a bigger drive D:\ and created my own bootable CD R & R for future use - not that it makes a difference.

  Now, I want to take a second backup with the Rescue and Recovery tool. Naturally I want to back up the disks C:\ and D:\, but the backup fails saying: -.

  "The last backup of this system include the following drive letters: C: .

  Your system is now back up these drive letters: C: d:

  Please define drive letters, as they were before and Christine backup. You may need to exclude partitions created since the last backup. »

  Is there anyway that I can make a backup of disks C:\ so my D:\?

  The only option I see is to delete my previuos backup and I don't want to do because it can be useful in the future if I still want to restore my system to original state manufactured.

  Suggestions anyone?

  Thanks, Iain

  Given that you have saved on an external USB disk your backup will be saved in a

  the folder named RRbackups.  If you rename this file I - think - R & R going to think

  you do not have any backups, so the next backup will be a 'base '. If you

  never have to restore the original of your 'base' backup, rename the folders should allow.

• Message "you run lack of disk space on RECOVERY (d :))".

  From: Robert judge

  On my new VISTA PC, I tried to use the built-in backup program.  The back-up apparently failed because there is not enough room on the "RECOVERY disk (d).

  Now, when I restart my new VISTA PC, I get this message:

  "Low Disk Space you run lack of disk space on RECOVERY (d). To free up space on this drive by deleting old or unnecessary files, click here... »

  When I "click here," I gave then "disk for RECOVERY (D :). cleanup.  Disk Cleanup offers "Office installation files" and "Basket", but both have "0 bytes" so I can't free up space in this way.

  When I open the backup and Restore Center and try to back up files, the program starts by "creating a shadow copy.  However, I then get a message:

  "An error has occurred...". There is not enough space to save the backup files.

  Free some disk space or change your backup settings. (0x81000005).»

  If I have little space on"RECOVERY", I only need saved Documents.  But even when I check only the 'Documents', I get the same error message.

  I think that I should delete the contents of the D RECOERY and try again.  However, there seems to be some files that are already installed on RECOVERY D.  However, I see a folder called "game 2008-06-08 backup 193208," which I suppose is the backup failed I tried on 6 June.  Should I just remove this folder and try again?  Or y at - it another way I should try to use the program "backup and restore"?  I'd appreciate advice.

  Mickie,

  As Ryan has noted, the recovery disk D should not be used for storage, do you have anything installed to him directly?

  If you're trying to backup, then cancelled or failed, then follow these instructions:

  1. Click on the Logo Windows (start)-> type to start searching the backup status and Configuration
  2. Next to the "automatic backup is currently activated" click on Turn Off
  3. Close the window.

  Then, we will need to remove the incomplete files on your D drive.

  To do this, you will need to click on start click on computer, and then double-click Disk Local (d)

  Here you will find two things, a Mediaid.bin file and a file with the same name as your computer (you can check by finding a backup set inside this folder), you must remove both to get rid of the message. Let us know if you need help, to know the name of this folder.

• Time Machine don't prune the old El Capitan backups and works out of space and "backup fails.

  With the help of El Capitan 10.11.1, I noticed a change in behavior with the handling of the time Machine of large files, specifically the files of virtual disk VMWare Fusion (about 50 large concerts).  After a few weeks of use of fusion VM virtual machine, Time Machine gives an error where it ran out of space and "backup failed."

  I had the same problem occur on a second iMac that I own.

  I reformatted my external drive for Time Machine and started fresh, but after a few weeks, I got the same error again.  It seems that Time Machine is not the size or remove older backups of VMware virtual disk to provide a space for the new.

  Previous versions of Mac OS X and Time Machine had no problem with the backup of large files such as these.

  Has anyone else noticed "backup failed" message with Time Machine on El Capitan?  I know that I can exclude the disk virtual VMware backup, but that defeats the entire purpose of Time Machine backups.  Any suggestions?

  Time Machine automatically deletes older snapshots to make room for the new. If your backup history is shorter than expected, it may be because you want to save one or more large files frequently.

  Software virtualization VMware, Parallels or VirtualBox creates a large virtual disk container that is constantly evolving. It will not be saved at all while the virtual machine running, and at other times it must be saved each Time Machine performance. Who fills up quickly any backup destination.

  You must exclude files from virtual drive of your Time Machine backups. To do this, click the Options button in the Time Machine preferences window. You can also do this to virtualization, application settings. Back up the files on the virtual disk within the comments system, using a native backup application.

  A compromise solution is to create a 'snapshot' of the virtual machine in the virtualization software (not a Time Machine snapshot.) This will give you a single large file that never changes and only has to be saved once. All future changes will be stored in a file that is much smaller initially, but will grow over time. You must always exclude this backup TM file. If you need to restore the computer virtual of Time Machine, you will have a working configuration, which will be easy for you to restore the rest of the data in the system of comments.

• "Driver D '... you run lack of space"

  I get a reminder that I'm running out of space in the D drive and I think that the message that my last backup failed is related to this. Although I did all the removal of the trash and deleted another space, it seems that it is not enough. Is it advisable to bach in the D drive in an external drive / memory stick? MorganXT

  Thanks Ken and Bill. I searched my Dell support mechanism and that seems a popular search. I guess it helped me to understand the functions of the D drive. So one useful piece of advice was to find the backup file defined in the D drive, remove it and then reconfigure my backup program. This seems to allow me to choose what I backup. I chose to not save the D drive, but what I consider necessary on the E drive. All this to be saved on DVD RW. However, for me it's more than 50 discs. Not too convenient, especially if it must be done on a regular basis. Can I use a memory stick, or if it's just the drive E - external hard drive. Thank you once again.

  You are welcome. Happy to help you.

  It is completely unrealistic to try to back up a drive of 50 DVDs. If
  of how much you need to save a memory stick is also too small.
  Buy an external hard drive.

• How can I free up space on recovery (D) drive? I'm new with the computer...

  Hi Luis Sarubbi,.

  The recovery drive is there for one purpose and that is to store the recovery image. You shouldn't have anything else on this drive other than the recovery files. As the space for the recovery disks is relatevely small the only way to free up a space is to move the files to another drive or deleting files. Why is it necessary that you free up space on this drive? Unless you know exactly the name of the recovery of all files, you might end up deleting or moving something that is necessary for recovery. If you end up doing it any subsequent recovery may fail.

  Unless there is a specific reason for needing to free up space on this drive, for example, you have been storing document on disk files, then I season you quit well.
