• Moving backups Time Machine - the operation cannot take place because the backup item is not editable

  I want to change the external hard drive that I use for my time machine backups. I went through the steps listed here:

  Time Machine: How to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support

  It seems to work correctly. I shot TM back and adding the new drive. TM is now backing up files on the drive up, but there is a problem.

  For some reason, TM has begun to put backups "freely" for lack of better in the external hard drive, and not in the backups.backupdb folder for a week, then returned to save them in the backups.backupdb > ComputerName > files from backups. So in other words, when you click on the hard drive in the finder, it opens the player and you see a folder named Backups.backupdb and then a bunch of mixed in which files are backups time machine named 2016-01-24-XXXXXX, etc.. When you go to the folder Backups.backupdb, there's a more random "loose" time machine backup file 2016-01-23-XXXXXX, and then another folder with the name of computers and in the folder are all TM backups except loose ones I mentioned earlier.

  It seems that TM is working properly now, but I don't know why he put the files from the first days outside the backup folder. However, when I do drag, I get the error:

  The operation cannot be completed because backup items is not editable

  I want to just put all the files in the right folder so that I can A) keep my disk organized and (B) ensure what TM can find everything correctly should I have to go back.

  No idea what is happening and how to fix it?

  Although the documentation Apple says you can copy Time Machine backups in the Finder, it is very slow and sometimes does not.

  This technique works only if the volume that you copy to the same size or larger that that you are copying to.

  First of all, please open the Time Machine preference pane and click the Select Disk... button. You may be able to unlock the settings first, by clicking on the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window. Log in as administrator.

  Remove the volume you want to copy in the list of backup destinations. Then turn off Time Machine.

  Launch disk utility, open the built-in Help and search for the term 'Double '. Follow the instructions. All existing data on the destination volume will be deleted. That shouldn't be a problem, because you do not want to mix non-sauvegarde and backup data on the same drive anyway.

  If the volume you are copying has been encrypted by Time Machine, you must first unlock it. Click the release button in the toolbar of the disk utility window.

  Turn Time Machine back on and select the new volume as a backup destination. Alternatively, you can continue to use the old volume, if you wish. Both will be alternated when both are available.

  ATTENTION: If you copy the volume is corrupted, as shown by the ERD or first aid in disk utility, while corruption is copied to the new drive. Do not copy data from a damaged on a faulty disk volume. Put aside the reader and do not use until you don't know that you no longer need the data. Then securely erase it and bring it to a recycling center. Do the same if the restore operation fails with "disk errors."

• Backup failure Time machine

  After buying a new iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2015), I had recurring guests ("Apple backup failed"). I have been through several conversations at levels 1 and 2 and more recently, have been assured that an engineer might contact me on the problem. The iMac will save after reboot; also, if I eject and back up the backup drive (Lacie D2 Quadra). It will be OK for a week or two and then fail again. Yet once I was through a handful of Apple cats, got to the point where I like an engineer ends by contact me, tried any number of reboots in different modes. Anyone have any idea?

• time machine the ignored files

  One of my Time Machine backup disks is not back up all files on the drive that I copy. Ignored files are for the most part, the Photoshop files. Everything worked very well so far.

  Just a question, do you boored since the restore using CMD + r Partition, then repaired the two disks, then repaired permissions on both?

• Time Machine the new disk transfer has not moved all the time

  I have a Time Machine backup to an external drive. It works very well. However, he was beginning to run out of space, so I bought a new, bigger HD.

  I followed all the steps of Time Machine: how to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support.

  I then waited 12 hours for that copy.

  Around midnight, I noticed the copy is complete. There was a message that iWork had not been copied because he needed a different operating system. But I rejected. There are no other messages.

  I changed the Time Machine preferences on the new disk. And fell asleep.

  This morning, I walked into a Time Machine.

  Only the first date from July 2014, was on the new disc of TM. Then there was five times after midnight when the new drive was saved.

  But there is nothing in any of the years between the first date and after midnight.

  I know that there are hundreds of TM captures on the original disc. And I've used them very well.

  I tried to copy individual files from the old drive to TM to the new, but it is not possible to "change the backups."

  In the OS X Utilities screen, select

  Utilities ▹ Terminal

  in the menu bar at the top of the screen, not one of the items in the OS X Utilities window.

  Follow the steps in this thread to ASC to split the fuser unit. The long string of letters, numbers and dashes you will need to enter will be different in your case. Copy and paste into the command in the Terminal window.

  This will remove all data from the fuser unit, then you had better be sure of your backups.

  Quit the Terminal, and then repair the Fusion drive (see "Troubleshooting" on the linked page.)

  Quit disk utility. Then you should be able to install OS X and restore your data from a backup in the main screen.

• Time Machine exclude user folder repeatedly

  Hello

  My time machine continues to ignore my user folder. ~ is listed in the exclusions and if I delete it it's just go ~ after that I saved and closed the file of the option (see screenshot)

  I'm tempted to remove the relevant com.apple.TimeMachine.plist no success outside the delivery of other time machine preferences.

  Any other suggestions.

  

  Found the solution to reset correctly a plist after deleting, you must reboot until the system tries to establish a new preference setting. Erased all settings and kept cleared, will be useful for other problems as well I think.

• Cannot remove the ghost folder. Error message: there is no such mailbox

  When I configure Thunderbird to connect to my Alpine Webmail, I had to rearrange my folders. Cannot remove a folder titled "mail" because according to TB "there is no such mailbox" but still shows on the tab my folders. I read through the previous discussions and have tried to unsubscribe the ghost folder, but that did not work or the other. I have a Mac OSX if this affects what it is. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thank you.

  Hello world. I solved the problem... somehow. By removing the account of Treasury Board and put in place again, TB has been able to sync with the files that were on Alpine. The ghost folder still presented (despite not existing not not on the Alpine site), but by changing the directory to the IMAP server of "mail" to "mailbox" the ghost folder disappeared. I found myself with records who have been named oddly (most likely due to the change of the name of directory) so when I changed the IMAP server directory to "mail" it reset my files with the way they were, with the exception of the ghost folder, that was no longer there. I'm not entirely sure why it worked, but in case someone else has a similar problem, I recommend to give it a try.

• Impossible to 'create' Time Machine backup service

  I have Mac OS x Server v 5.1.7 running on a Mac mini (2.7 Ghz core i7, 8 GB RAM, mid-2011)) with OSX El Captain (10.11.6).

  When I try to add a folder to use as the destination for my backups Time Machine, the button 'create' on the next screen does nothing!

  

  How can I diagnose what is the error (if any?) and how can I work around this?

  OK, I've been searching and I found everything about TIME MACHINE on these forums, but my question is still not answered.  My suspicion for why my attempt is a failure is due to the fact that the drive mounted by the mac mini is formatted with NTFS and mounted using Tuxera NTFS for Mac. How can I confirm this? If it is true, is it documented for OSX Server Anywhere? Why is there not an error message or something to help me?

• What happened to my Time Machine backups?

  I'm on Yosemite on a 2012 end Mac mini server, with an external HARD drive, I use for backups.

  The short version: I can "enter Time Machine" see my backups, but after restoring my system, my Time Machine configuration seems to have been lost and my Time Machine drive partition so that the backup has a "sparse disk image" bundle inside. (My other partition for backup of my laptop, has a "Backups.backupdb" folder to the root). On the partition of disk for backup of Mac mini, the "Backups.backupdb" folder is the bundle-sparse disk image file. When I "enter Time Machine", I'm assuming that Time Machine looks like in the package of disk for the historical image backups. However, I don't know if it will continue to backup where it was stopped.

  Background: this week, I was unable to boot from the hard drive of my Mac mini; There was something wrong with the partitioning which makes the player no longer starts. However, I also had a Windows partition which is bootable, and when I was on Windows I could see all the files on the Macintosh HD partition. Finally, I started in my Windows partition and the partition backup and cloned my Mac partition disk images on my backup drive - to the same partition on the backup drive where lived my backups Time Machine for this drive. Then I reinstalled OS X on the Mac mini.

  Surprisingly, when the Mac is started, all my files were already on it and I didn't need to use the Migration Wizard make most anything from the disk image I had cloned. However, when I went to save the newly installed system, I noticed that Time Machine has been configured is more - in the preferences of Time Machine, the oldest backup, and the last time read 'None', and there is no excluded folder. Curiously, however, when I go to "enter Time Machine" it evokes all the backups.

  I then compared the partition where I save the Mac mini on the other partition on the backup drive, where I save my laptop. On the partition of the laptop the "Backups.backupdb" folder is at the root. On the partition of backup for the Mac mini, there are three disks images - the clone of the Mac Mini hard drive and HDD Windows bootcamp, and another image called 'Of Paul Mac mini' which is a rare disk image containing all my backups Time Machine.

  Is it possible that I can configure Time Machine to ensure continuity with the old backup set? Even if I go up "By Paul Mac mini" Time Machine preferences don't recognize it as a backup drive. Do I have to get rid of, the clone images and copy the files of the sparse image to the root of the backup drive?

  See if you can inherit from the backup.
