• Can't resize external backup Time Machine in the hard disk partition

  I have a Seagate Expansion to drive 3 that I use for storing files as well and Time Machine. Initially when I set up the drive, I allocated 350GB for the partition that I use with Time Machine.

  I use a 256GB MacBook Pro and Time Machine is now advising me constantly backup capsule is short of space. I have 2 questions:

  1. Disk utility does not allow me to resize the partition of Time Machine (I can only reduce the size using resize controls). Also, I can't delete the partition, because the minutes signed is grayed out (see screenshot) - However, I am able to erase this partition. What can I do to resize (and expand) this partition, or delete it and create a larger partition for use with Time Machine?
  2. What is the best size to send to the Time Machine partition in order to keep my Mac saved 256 GB?

  Thanks in advance!

  A drive that is mounted or shared may present as "Busy" that could prevent resizing.

  Try to disassemble the disc (with the assembly/disassembly button in disk utility) and see if it works better. Then mount it again before leaving the disk utility, or do a reboot to mount again.

• How to make the partition of Seagate backup so the Macbook Air?

  I just bought a Macbook Air 13' 2015, I have a seagate external hard drive backup 1 TB plus all my files in it, coming from windows PC and I switch to Mac, when I try to make a partition in disk utility, I can't select an option for partition, its greyed, but I can read/write because of the Paragon for Mac OS driver I want just a partition on my mac with Time Machine backup, but I can't use my external drive for Time Machine it will erase everything on my external hard drive. Thank you

  Unless you need to keep the Windows files you put on the disk and copied to the computer, then I suggest that you simply re - prepare the drive for use on Mac. Because the drive has been formatted on a Windows system you cannot partition via the Mac. But you can re-prep. disk using the partition scheme GUID for the two partitions and format of one of them for MS-DOS or ExFAT using Windows. But as I said earlier, if you do not need to use Windows and want to use for the backup on the Mac, then he prep exclusively for Mac. Use Time Machine backup requires a volume that is at least 2 or 3 times the capacity of the computer HARD drive.

  Drive partition and format

  1. Open utility disk from the Applications\utilitaires folder.
  2. After disk utility charges select the drive (entrance Out-bumpy with of the mfgr.) ID and size) in the list to one side.
  3. Click on the Partition or delete tab in the toolbar utility of disc that is activated. If both are enabled, then choose clear.
  4. Adjustable circular diagram to set the number of partitions if you want more than one. Otherwise leave the default of one.
  5. In the Group dropdown set the GUID partition scheme. Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
  6. Click on the apply button and wait for the fact button to activate.
  7. Quit disk utility.

• How to make a backup of your linux partition

  Recovery cd restores your NB100 for the original installation. All changes will be lost. It is better to restore your computer with an image that you've done your stable system with any changes.

  Using a computer on which an Ubuntu 8.10 has already been installed, you can create a bootable on a 1 GB USB system - using system/create a bootable USB of an Ubuntu 8.10 floppy - iso. Use the option to store in a reserved space. You can start from the stick and install the program partimage via synaptic on the key bootable. PartImage (sudo partimage on the console) allows you to do a full backup of your hard drive and saves it on a second USB key for example. I have partitioned my hard drive into two partitions, 15 GB for the system and the rest to store music, movies, etc. So a backup of the partion of 15 GB (4 GB used) is 1.6 GB. The restoration of the partition takes about two minutes.

  WLAN doesn't work out of the box with Ubuntu 8.10. A solution, you will find it here:

  For the rest, Ubuntu 8.10 works correctly.

  Hey uli that s a very nice display.
  I think that it is for many Linux users useful and easy to make.

• Backup hard drives internal and external to separate the partitions on an external drive of a second... ?

  I want to back up an internal hard drive (let's call it 'A') and (B) external drive using Time Machine. Both are 1 TB in size, so I bought a 2 TB external drive and created two partitions (C and D) on this subject, only to receive each backup. So:

  A = internal hard drive

  B = external drive (for "overflow" files)

  C = partition to external drive for backups of A

  D = partition to external drive for backups of B

  My question is, can I set up Time Machine so that A back up C, every time the 2 TB drive is connected, and B backup up to D whenever the two external drives are connected? I thought it would be possible, but at the opening of the Time Machine preferences and selecting D for the first time I get a message saying:

  "You want to stop backup up to 'C' and use"D"instead or back up at the same time?

  If you use the two, Time Machine will take turns backup up to "C" and "D". »

  I wonder if it would just be easier to return to a single partition on the hard disk of 2 TB and have the time machine to perform a backup of everything, that is, both A and B?

  Last question: I'm doing this to improve Yosemite to El Capitan. the operating system affect what I'm trying to get time Machine to do?

  Thank you!

  Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support

  I have a non-partitioned device TM backup of your data and your OS disk at once

  If in case you partition and drive "B" needs more than what is on the partition and drive 'A' don't you avoid warning.

  update of the OS is fine, as it will give an output back to a previous TM operating system where you need it, but it is compatible across versions.

• Satellite P770 - Question on backup partition

  Hello
  first of all, I'm not really sure that I am in the right section, I apologize if I am not!
  Then, my English not is really good when it comes to computering, so forgive me again :)

  So, I have a Toshiba Satellite P770 and I know that there is some kind of partition backup, I already used it, (last night) because I wanted to clean t.

  Then I realized that the partitions are not as I wanted them to be, so I chose the option where I can format the entire hard drive (2x500Go, took about 2 hours for each of them) after that, I tried to use this "secret partition" install everything back.
  The problem is that when I press F8 when I turn on the laptop, I get an error message:
  "Reboot and select proper boot device."
  "or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.

  I would like to know if I've already screwed up, and I can't use this backup partition that was provided with the laptop.
  If I can, how can I do it? I don't know how to select the proper boot device...

  Thanks for your help!

  I'm afraid you have ruined all of Mr. is typical of many people who play with the laptop before they read s manuals where is recommended creation of backup called recovery DVDs DVD.

  You may have this?

  Anyway, recovery disc HARD OS install (from the recovery partition) can work if the structure of the partitions is not modified and portable has factory settings.
  Now, if you want to have once again the factory settings, you must use the recovery DVDs. If you didn t create that you must buy an and it can be ordered on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

• Question about backup of the partition on the Qosmio G20

  Hi everyone, I was wondering is it possible to get the backup of your hard drive or the partition on qosmio g20? I tried the real picture, and ghost, but they could not get access to the qosmio scsi disks, when I ve checked toshibas recovery dvd I saw it is changed the version of norton ghost, so they must be necessary loading drivers on the start time of recovery disc, because I install a lot of software and change the config. I want to save my disk hard once everything is done.
  can anyone help?

  Hello

  Some time ago, I did some ghosting of Toshiba laptops, I have never had any problems. Perhaps there may be conflicts, if you are using RAID technology, or the Qosmio player on the first HARD disk area hurts.

  Sorry I can't give you more help.
  Good luck!

• Satellite C660 - recovery partition is there but can I make backup discs?

  Hi all

  Just a query
  My GF turned on his PC series portable Satellite C660 and it would not start, we have tried to open the restore from the recovery partition sequence but kept getting the error that progresses at the start (error said to a device USB has been disconnected).

  As you probably guessed that she never did the backup disks when you are prompted, everything I could think of used a drive to win 7 and reload this way then try to make recovery disks after (I didn't activate)
  so win 7 has been installed well and all the drivers of origin that was all last week.
  Now to the crunchiness, the recovery partition is here now, I do the recovery disks and install from those, win 7 I installed it will soon take activation
  Any ideas?
  Thanks in advance

  After clean install of OS you can't create more recovery disk and you cannot install recovery image using the disk HARD recovery option (F8 at startup).

  Best thing you can do now is drive original order of Toshiba and use it for recovery image installation. It is certainly easier to have factory again.
  You can order it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

• How partition an external hard drive and configure for Time Machine backup?

  I am a rookie just to switch to Windows Apple Mac and I'm looking to back up my new iMac with a Seagate hard drive 2 TB external.  My Mac is a 1 TB hard drive, I'm looking to partition for backup and storage.  Is this a good idea?  Is there a simple way to do it?  I appreciate any help I can get.  I also bought three years of Apple support, but I'd rather do it myself, so I thought I'd give this discussion from the community to try.  Thank you!!

  No, it isn't. Your working data and backups must be on separate drives in case one of them goes down.

• after image restore, backup partition table is different

  Hello

  He is a 2012 Macbook mid Pro with El Capitan and Bootcamp.

  After repeated with Bootcamp (Windows 10 Pro) problems I started using Image of Terabyte for Linux in order to safeguard this Macbook. Forums terabyte that people know that the Image of Linux (such as Image for Windows) is able to create a reliable backup, but also to restore - restore an entire disk image or restoring individual partitions.

  I followed their instructions precisely and activated the two options "restore first Beach" and "TPG hidden OS" (as one terabyte official, Member of the forum wrote) when restoring a partition.

  Unfortunately, it did not work! Bootcamp was no longer visible in the start screen or wasn't visible, but not start.

  What I found was that I had to keep the two options (see above) with DISABILITIES.

  Then I could restore some partition images - and 10 Windows in Bootcamp is bootable.

  Well, it was the long introduction.  I'm sorry.

  Now my question is:

  Is this something that has changed my partition table?

  Before restoring an Image for backup of Linux for the first time, I had this partition table:

  localhost: ~ root # fdisk/dev/disk0

  Disk: geometry / dev/disk0: 60801/255/63 [976773168 sectors]

  Signature: 0xAA55

  From end

  #: cyl hd s - cyl hd s id [Start - size]

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

  1: EA 1023 254 63 - 1023 254 63 [1-409639]

  2: AF 1023 254 63 - 1023 254 63 [409640-857906448] HFS +.

  3: AB 1023 254 63 - 1023 254 63 Boot Darwin [858316088-1269536]

  * 04:07 1023 254 63-1023 254 63 [859586560-117186560] HPFS/QNX / TO THE

  BUT:

  After failed attempts to restore and work finally restore my partition table operation is different:

  Fdisk/dev/disk0

  Disk: geometry / dev/disk0: 60801/255/63 [976773168 sectors]

  Signature: 0xAA55

  From end

  #: cyl hd s - cyl hd s id [Start - size]

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

  1: EA 0 0 2 - 1023 255 63 [1-409639]

  3: AB 1023 0 57 - 1023 255 63 Boot Darwin [858316088-1269536]

  * 04:07 1023 199 8-1023 255 63 [859586560-117186560] HPFS/QNX / TO THE

  Everything seems to work fine, but I wonder if the different appearance of the partition table can be a problem?

  For example, compare:

  1: EA 1023 254 63 - 1023 254 63]

  3 o

  409639]

  TO

  1: EA 0 0 2 - 1023 255 [63 3 o 409639]

  It's the output of 'diskutil list ':

  In Fdisk, the CHS numbers are arbitrary on modern disks. They are the time of BIOS and old disks with CHS geometry. Puts BCA from Mac 0-1023 (1024 cylinders), 0-255 (256 heads) and 0-63 (64 sectors). Modern disks far exceed those numbers and would drain them. Must match what is the triplet of start/end/size and it fits in GPT and MBR. You can put arbitrary 0,0,0 for CHS and you will see all issues on GPT disks.

• Satellite L350-170: creating the image of the partition backup system

  New here so first of all, Hello to all.

  Need some advice if possible please.
  I just got a new laptop L350-170 with Windows Vista Home Premium.
  I went thro' the installation process and created with the program toshiba recovery disks but also make the thro' the post.

  What I want to do now is create an image of the full backup ' c' drive now that I have installed additional programs and adjust settings to get the laptop how I want it.

  I've tried acronis true image, but laptop won't boot from the restore cd, even tho ' cd/dvd is set in the bios as "first boot.
  Says it can't find the "boot partition" and assume that it is something with the toshiba restore program not be circumvented.

  Is there a 'ghost' type program that will allow me to create an image, and then start the disk in order to restore everything from the created image and therefore not lose everything I installed carefully?

  I suppose that, if I try to use the toshiba program once again, it will only reproduce the original installation.
  I hope someone can advise.

  TIA

  Hello!

  The Toshiba recovery disc sets only the laptop back to the factory settings. It s not a program backup like Acronis, but with the recovery disc you have installation of Windows with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba.

  What version of Acronis True Image do you use? I use version 11 and I have no problem on my laptops and PCs. It works perfectly.
  Maybe you should do a update.

  Have you set the SATA mode in the BIOS to AHCI or compatible? Maybe you need a driver SATA when you have defined it AHCI, but I think in its new version of Acronis you t need a n.

  I hope I could help a bit and if you have problems, make me know it.

  Good bye

• Time machine backup partition

  According to many resources, that I found while searching, it has been possible, in disk utility, to partition an external backup time machine which was currently being used.  several pages instruct to select the drive in disk utility and click the partition tab.  but it seems that this option is rejected in el capitan, as the partition button is dimmed when I select the drive.  y at - it another way to pull this off, or I'll have to make a copy of the database on a different drive, wipe and partition external and re - set after you have copied the data base on?

  Thank you.

  El Capitan has not changed this ability, something happens. Select the drive, and then click info. Check the window long enough to capture all of its contents (the device tree path is not important and can be truncated). Take a screenshot and paste it into a response.

• WHS 2011 - server on the partition backup?

  Can anyone offer some advice please?

  I have a server running the 2011 WHS, for years, that I've been running with 2x2TB mirrored drives, SSD for the OS a 250GB for Server backup and a Bay empty.

  Yesterday, I removed the 250 GB drive and fitted with 2 drives of 2 TB more.

  I had planned to partition them the two 1.8/0.2 using one of 200 GB as a backup of Server partitions and the 1.8 in sense reverse for data storage.

  WHS seems to want to use the entire 2 TB as a backup server, which is not only a waste of space, but let me not able to put my other mirrored drive.

  Is it possible to use a partition as a backup server?

  Do I still need a backup server, if I cloned my SSD on the old 250 GB drive every 6 months for the recovery after a disaster that would be good enough, I kept only the SSD in my backup of server in any case the other disks are mirrored.

  This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

• Recovery partition has a small footprint, it does not allow me to run a backup

  original title: recovery D has low disk space. Can't do a back up

  I get a message that my recovery disk space has low disk space. It seems to be complete. He won't let me make a new backup or recovery. I have 57 MB of 14.9 GB free space. Is it safe to just delete and start over? How to remedy this situation?

  Your recovery partition D is implemented by the manufacturer of your computer in the event of serious problems in your system.
  You use it to restore your system.

  You are NOT supposed to touch it... not to add or remove anything to or from
  it.
  You are not supposed to use it for backing up files.
  Either you use DVD to back up your files or buy an external drive for this.

  You call the manufacturer of the computer, tell them the situation...

  1. ask for a set of recovery DVD to reinstall Vista, if you do not have a game made yourself.

  2. ask how to remove backup files or elements that are NOT supposed to be there.
  They created the recovery partition, they know how to take care of it.
  Let them teach how you to.
  ..................................................................................................................

  RE: d ' training is complete
  The following response was to respond to a user who has received a computer Dell Microsoft Partner.

  D: is the recovery Partition to restore your computer
  the standards of the plant and to make recovery disks of!

  Contact Dell buy DVD recovery and fixation of your recovery Partition.
  They know exactly which files have to be there and those who you todelete!

  In the future, buy an external hard drive and back up to it!
