Backup Restore Time Machine: not enough space

• Time Machine-not enough space error

  Hi all

  I had to unplug my computer and move it to another room and now after all hang up, I get this message "not enough space for full backup". There are about 150 GB to 2 TB disk space as it is filled with iTunes and Time machine backups.

  I guess it's because ever since I hooked everything back up Time Machine think it is made the first backup of everything rather than pick up where he left off when he made the last backup?

  Please tell me that I shouldn't let it save it for the first time again. It took an eternity to accomplish this last time as the computer kept going to sleep.

  Thanks for any help,

  Al

• Backup Restore Time Machine does not see RAID external drive

  Hi all

  I have a problem with my iMac restore from a Time Machine backup, and I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem already.

  I had to reinstall OS X El Capitan from scratch, based on education, I received Support from Apple. That worked without problems and my iMac works fine. However, I wanted to restore it to how it was before, using Time Machine. I keep my backups on a LaCie 5big Thunderbolt 2 and never had any problems with it.

  To restore the system, I followed the instructions on the Support page. I restarted my system in recovery mode and selected the "restore from Time Machine backup". Unfortunately the LaCie 5big does not appear on the list of drives, so I'm stuck... When you use the system in normal mode, the external RAID is visible and Time Machine stores backups on it without any problem.

  Any of you are familiar with this problem? I would be very grateful if you could help me with this problem!

  Kind regards

  Valerio

  Hello

  -While the system is booted in recovery mode, confirm that the Lacie 5big network is visible in disk utility.   You will need to disconnect / reconnect the Thunderbolt cable to the Lacie 5big be detected.

  -Once seen, a new attempt to restore from Time Machine backup.

• Backup Restore Time Machine after 10.11.3 downgrade to 10.10.5?

  I am installing a purchased copy of Capture NX2 photo of Nikon editing software on my MacBook Pro retina 2015.

  I learned that I can only install this software on a machine running upward for OS X 10.10.5 (Yosemite) and that after an upgrade to El Capitan software will still work.  (The software cannot be installed under El Capitan, confirmed by Nikon)

  I had a Time Machine backup of my 10.11.3 system, lowered to Yosemite with a new installation of a boot USB disk, installed the Capture NX2 without difficulty. Works very well.

  Now, I would like to restore from backup Time Machine El Capitan, but maintain the installation of the software (i.e. I don't want to replace all of the disk). Yosemite will not let me restore from backup Time Machine of El Capitan (see the files, but will not allow app or restorations of the photo library)

  Is it still possible?  What I need to solve this problem by having an El Capitan and Yosemite a partition on my hard drive?

  Thanks in advance!

  It seems that the plan was to go down, install the software, then upgrade.

  Have you tried to upgrade, and then use the Migration Wizard to migrate the data from the backup?

• Backup from Time Machine not recognized

  Hello. I have a mid-2011 21 "iMac 2.8 GHz i7 with 16 GB of RAM, running 10.11.4, El Capitan. My old 1 TB HDD (HARD drive) was giving me problems (grinding and draw and he had considerably slowed down), so I backed up the computer with Time Machine (which I did for years), and I bought a 1 GB SSD from OWC replacement kit. I installed it in the hard drive, location in my iMac, reinstalled the operating system, and the new drive is running great. No problems with it.

  The drive Time Machine is a disk HARD Seagate 2 TB external drive connected by USB to the computer.

  So, my next step is to transfer the old news of Time Machine in the new drive. I tried first Assistant Setup in recovery mode, but the Machine of the time in the car was not found (recognized). When I started normally, the drive of the Time Machine is visible on my desktop, and backup files appear in there.

  So, then, I ran on the drive disk utility. I could not launch 'repair' the disk as a whole (the button is dimmed when I click on the disc), but I fix the partition on the disk. No not found errors.

  Then I went in the Migration Wizard to move the files. But I had the same problem as before - Migration Wizard does not see the Time Machine drive.

  So. I tried to enter Time Machine 'Star Wars' show on the computer and dated backups appear on the right side of the screen, but then, when I go to look at, it does not appear that there is something in them.

  I kept the old drive HARD and (in panic), I ordered a box to put the old drive, and I'll try to get the files this way. But, I still want to use the files on my Time Machine drive.

  At this point, the only thing I have to save my documents, my pictures and family videos and music. If only I could get in the 'Home' on my Time Machine backup folder by clicking on the player, I will manually install the files 'Desktop', 'Documents', 'Movies', 'Music' and 'pictures '. I don't know if this is possible, and I have never done this. I don't like not everything 'Applications', or anything else, so I'm willing to do the grunt work on those reinstall the old way. Can manually install you the items in the folder to the home page of Time Machine in another drive?

  Any advice you can give literally will save me! I'm kinda at a loss on what to do. The last time I used Time Machine to do this (to transfer the files on the iMac 2011) it worked like a charm.

  Thank you! Clay

• Restored Time Machine not listed e-mails is not in the mail

  I am running Yosemite and Mail 8.2. Somehow, I lost my entire mailbox. I went to Time Machine to do a restore to my Inbox. I have 6700 + emails. I select them all and click on restore. The computer does its thing and then displays a message saying 6700 + restored messages. Yet, nothing shows up in my Mail box. I tried with different numbers of email even only selected messages. No luck. While they hide somewhere?

  Thanks in advance for the help. I feel very lost without my e-mails.

  They are not restored directly to the Inbox. They will be in a restored file slot on my Mac. If this section is not expanded, place the cursor on it and choose display. Look for the restored mailbox. You can select the messages here and move them where you need.

• Time Machine backup fails because "there is not enough space on the «DiskStation «»

  My backups regular TimeMachine to DiskStation stopped working a few months ago.  I thought it was because I ran out of space but now I installed an extra 1 TB RAID and I always get this error message.

  Here is the chronology of events that led to the error message.

  16/01/10 23:09 - Backup started manually (1.47 TB TB 2.45 available):

  

  16/01/10 23:11 - preparation of backup... (1.47 TB TB 2.45 available)

  16/01/10 23:15 - "backup: zero KB of 63.8 MB, calculating time remaining..." »

  16/01/10 23:22-2.1 MB saved 63.8 and the first estimate of the remaining time: 'about 4 hrs.

  

  16/01/10 23:50 - now 2.3 63.8 MB MB, 16 hours left (I'm ready for bed).

  16/01/10 23:55-5 minutes later and it backed up 419 MB!

  16/01/11 00:55 - an hour later and it is up to 6.72 GB but the gas target increased to 7.39 GB (I went to bed)

  16/01/11 06:50 - next day morning and it's up to 23,76 GB and the goal is now to 26.13 GB

  

  16/01/11 18:49 - I go home at night and it failed.

  

  

  

  Here is the view viewfinder of the TimeMachine file that I am trying to backup (note, a lot of disk space):

  

  This is the view of the Inspector of it:

  

  System details:

  -MacBook Pro 2013 with OS X 10.11.2

  -LAN WiFi Pace 2Wire998 router with DiskStation connected by Ethernet, MacBook Pro by WiFi

  -Synology DiskStation DS411slim with 4 x 2.5 "hard drives installed.

  A device third-party network attached storage (NAS) or a router is unsuitable for use with Time Machine, especially if it's your only backup. I know that's not what you want to hear. I know that Time Machine accepts the device as a backup destination. I know that the manufacturer says the device will work with Time Machine, and I also know that it usually seems to work. Except when you are trying to restore and find that you can't.

  Apple has published a specification for network devices that works with Time Machine. No third party provider, AFAIK, does meet this specification. They all use the application of Netatalk incomplete, obsolete Apple Filing Protocol.

  Apple does not endorse any device third-party network for use with Time Machine. See this support article.

  Network backup, use as destination an Apple Time Capsule or an external storage device connected to another Mac or a 802.11ac AirPort base station. Only 802.11ac base stations support time Machine, not older model.

  Otherwise, use Time Machine at all. There are other ways to save, although none of them are nowhere near as effective or as well integrated with OS X. I don't have a specific recommendation.

  If you are determined to continue to use the device with Time Machine, your only remedy for any resulting problem is the manufacturer (who will blame Apple, neither you nor anyone else but herself.)

• Cannot remove the r ' only R backups, not enough space

  I have V3.01.1037.00 R & R installled on my son's cell phone.  It has a few old R & R backups that I want to delete.  I ran R & R programs in the list and found the Advanced tab, which allows me to delete the backups... but when I try and remove the one it says (after request confirmation and "Please wait while the backups are deleted"):

  "Rescue and Recovery has not enough space disk to perform the requested operation"

  and then do nothing.  I tried turning the properties from the Recycle Bin to "do not move files to the Recycle Bin" in case that was the problem, but that did not help.

  Backup file is 15 GB (!), free space on the disk is 5 GB.

• Cannot convert Server 2008 R2 Machine get error: Instant The VSS cannot be stored, because there is not enough space on the source volumes or because the source computer does not all NTFS volumes. Error code: 2147754783 (0x8004231F).

  I have a couple of server 08 R2 machines where the P to V conversion fails.  I did some research and the problem seems to be related to the system reserved Partition that has 0% available 100 MB free space.  Conversion fails with the error below.

  VSS snapshots cannot be stored because there is not enough space on the source volumes or because the source computer has not all NTFS volumes. Error code:
  2147754783 (0x8004231F).

  
  

  Someone had this problem and came to the top with a solution or to get around?
  

  
  

  Thanks in advance
  

  Guessed it.  My snapshots Appassure did not also exist with a similar error, so that's what I did to solve it.  My servers now converted without any problem.

  1. Open disk management.
  2. Look at the partition of the PRS and see if it is 100% full.
     • If Yes, proceed to step 3.
     • If this is not the case, check if there are readers who have no more of 300 MB free (minimum requirement to use VSS).
  3. Click a drive, select properties and then select the instant snapshots tab.
  4. Ensure that all shadow copies are disabled and no limit on all players.
  5. Go to the partition of the SRP and assign the B:drive letter.
  6. Open the B: drive via disk management, and then locate the folder System Volume Information. Note: if necessary, change the folder options so that you can view hidden files, folders and drives.
  7. Right-click the System Volume Information folder, and then select Properties.
  8. On the Security tab, click Edit, and then add the group with full control everyone in the folder.
  9. Open the System Volume Information folder (you should see log files are full), open a running as an administrator command prompt and then type the following commands to unload the filter driver.
     • B:
     • B:\>FLTMC UNLOAD AAFSFLT
  10. Navigate to the System Volume Information folder, and then type the following commands:
      • B:\>CD System Volume Information
      • B:\System Volume Information > AALOG_ DEL * (this will remove all of the log files, and then re-create a new)
      • B:\System Volume Information > CD\
      • B:\>FLTMC LOAD AAFSFLT
  11. Close the command prompt window.
  12. In Windows, right click on the reserve system folder and remove the Group everyone.
  13. In Disk Manager, remove the B: drive (and click Yes when prompted with a warning window).

• 150:30 of error after you restore the backup CS4 Time Machine

  I bought a new Imac with OS X Maverick and put in place by using a backup from time machine. My Adobe CS4 now has a problem with the license and shows me the error: 150:30?

  I have to uninstall and reinstall CS4? Is there an easy solution to this problem?

  Thanks to everyone for help.

  Chris

  I have to uninstall and reinstall CS4?

  Unfortunately Yes.

  Also run the cleanup tool before reinstalling

  Use the CC cleaning tool to resolve installation problems. CC, CS3 - CS6

  Restoring backups Time Machine invariably breaks the activation mechanism (error 150:30) and there is no easy way to correct an error of 150:30 otherwise than by the re-installation.

• Unable to create restore point not enough space error code 0 x 80070070

  My D recovery drive is almost full. I have over 900 GB on my c drive and I have 600 GB free on an external drive. always says not enough space. What is the remedy. Thanks Frank

  Looks like it has to do with one of the partitions on your hard drive.

  Go to start > Control Panel > system and security > administrative tools > computer management > disk management. From there you should be able to see what drives you have connected and all partitions (reserved for the IE system, recovery, etc.)

  Can you tell me what operating system the computer brand you use and on your drive C: drive, which partitions there (and how many MB each partition has?

• Not enough space

  We have an iMac and MacBook 2 backup on a capsule 3 TB. It now says not enough space. Should it not be automatically delete older backups to free up space. I have to start over and do a back up of all three computers?

  About alert TM "Backup Drive is full"

  TM only deletes older files if they have been removed from the source and when TM needs space on the backup to a new incremental backup drive. Time Machine "Jules Destrooper" its backups. over 24 hours, old backups, except the first of the day; These "dailies", old more 30-day backups, except the first day of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there is room.

  So, how long a backup rest file depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming that you do at least one backup per day. If she was there for less than 24 hours, it will be maintained for at least a month. If she was there at least a week, it will be maintained as long as there is room.

  Note that, on a Time Capsule, the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but not descended. View of the user of the TC so it seems that no space was released, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.

  Once TM has found that it cannot free enough space for new backup it reports the disk is full. You can erase the backup disk and start your backup or replace the disc with a larger drive.

• Not enough space in Runtime area. Data not available SMBios. Inaccessible BIOS

  Hello, I was trying a restore or Windows 7 install on a p6510y for a friend. Tried going into the bios to select which device to boot from.

  I hit F10, it says enter the bios or enter the configuration..., then it goes to a black screen with a blue bar at the top. The blue bar is bright blue in the middle and it fades to the edge of the screen. It is not animated. I see no text or the cursor blinking either.

  If I do not go into the BIOS, I get the message "not enough space in Runtime area. SMBios data will be unavailable"and if I hit F2 to continue, windows starts normally.

  I stripped the system down to a single stick of RAM, tried a different PSU, graphics card, vga cable, etc.. I removed the cmos battery and flies over the rider for a solid 30 mins. I can not even access the bios.

  It's a machine extremely strongly virused, I was able to install Windows 7 via disk external drive bootable. The recovery partition is still intact, although it seems empty, still too much space.

  I ran sp49851.exe in windows 7 on the machine, the installation has been apparently successfully, but the BIOS always behaves in the same way.

  I am at a loss, have spent many hours in checking these forums of discussion, does not. Is it possible for me to prepare a bootable USB key and manually install the bios? I extracted the contents of the exe to a folder but I don't know what to do next. The computer has a floppy drive port. For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

  I was able successfully to Flash the BIOS manually, and it behaves as it should. Here's what I did:

  I extracted the contents of my bios file (sp49851.exe), using a program called Universal Extractor.

  I renamed the file alo6.09 to bios.rom (this was the only file required)

  I followed this guide:

  http://www.BIOS-mods.com/BIOS-update/

  Make SURE you get the HP USB Disk Format Tool, they provide a link.

  Make SURE you get the BACK image they provide a link for.

  I used AFUDOS for my AMI BIOS, from which the above ROM file extension. (they provide a link to AFUDOS)

  I used the command line afudos bios.rom/p/b/n/c/e/k/q/reboot (EXACTLY) how they said.

  Went straight into the BIOS, was able to make changes. System seems to work fine. It is very important that you read all of this guide and be absolutely sure that you have the good BIOS before updating. Thanks for the help Dave!

• iPod cannot be synced because there is not enough space

  I just got a new computer and I tried and tried to sync my ipod touch, product type is: Ipod 3.1. and iOS 5.1.1. on the new computer. I have all the songs from the old computer and their transfer to the new computer, but I get the error message "Ipod cannot be synced because there is not enough space to hold all of the items in the itunes library (like 55.88 GB required). This computer now has a lot of hard drive to contain this music, and my ipod has a capacity of 57,92. Now, if I think right, it's almost an ipod everything! I'm so confused by the present. I have not added a lot more music. Please explain and help me understand what I need to do to get my ipod to sync. I tried to reduce the bit rate only to get the error saying that I need extra GB 38.65. What happens here? Help, please.

  Now, if I am not mistaken, the songs that you have in the itunes application, is what gets synchronized, I have additional music in other folders, but I don't have them uploaded to the app. Are they still in the library? Please help me not to be confused on this issue. I greatly appreciate it.

  Thanks for any help you can give me.

  You can synchronize only with a computer. To move computers

  Synchronization to a 'New' computer or replacing a hard drive "crashed": Apple Support communities

  If all the media synchronized music and apps are already in the iTunes library of the new just backup on iTunes computer and restore from this backup.
