Backup size seems too big, then save too little...

Hi all

I recently had the warning that my iCloud storage is running low.

When you go to manage storage on my iPhone, it shows the current size of backup as 3.4 GB and the size of next backup as 64.4 MB.

Looking at what is happening to back up, the most important is 148 MB of photos.  By adding up everything on the list that will appear I get about 250 MB.  I understand there are things like messages, mail etc. to go on top of that.

First of all, how is my next backup size only 64.4 MB when it shows clearly more than that in the list below?  What is the amount of data needed to bring the backup to this day?

Second, I'm not sure how to reach 3.4 GB size current backup.  What has always taken a lot of place are my photo library, but for about a year now, I don't have "My Photo Stream" and "iCloud Photo Sharing" voluntarily to keep my backup size low.

My iPad back is up to 1.1 GB, which is what I was waiting for my iPhone to be.

See you soon!

To answer your first question, backups are incremental.  It is, essentially, that the data/parameters have changed since the last backup are added to the current backup.  And, yes - 64.4 MB would just bring your backup to date.

As for your second question, I'm not sure either, based on what you have demonstrated.

  • Hi, Firefox does create backups of autmatic of bookmarks, then save them in a default location?

    I had to reset my PC & re - install FF without first using a manual backup of bookmarks. The reset process apparently retains all data files, but does not keep Apps. I hope I can do my new Firefox to the old bookmarks file and... Hey presto... I retrieve my favorites?
    (Thanks in advance for your suggestions)

    The usual kind of reset in recent versions of Windows keeps your old user folder but it moving here:

    C:\Windows.old\Users\your-user-name\
    

    You will find this file? If so, your Firefox data are probably here - and here's how I suggest to access:

    First of all, it would be useful to set windows to display the hidden files and folders. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files

    Then click in:

    Username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles C:\Windows.old\Users\

    Note: you may find a cache under AppData\Local folder, but everything important is under AppData\Roaming.

    Here you can find one or several folders named random semi. Who has most recently updated content is probably the one you want to restore from.

    Bookmarks only

    Go down the old bookmarkbackups folder and copy the last two backups in a location such as the desktop.

    The restore feature will replace the bookmarks in Firefox by default (and what you added since the reset) with all like bookmarks. If you want preserve newly added bookmarks, use the first, export function before the restore, then the import function later. The following articles have details:

    Success?

    Complete restoration

    This post has my suggested procedure to resurrect your old wide profile in your new installation of Firefox. Please note the use of the copy instead of move throughout the process. This allows you to try again if it fails somewhere along the way.

  • Cropping creates the HUGE file - too big to save

    Hi-

    I am running PS CS3 and have developed a problem with trimming using the crop tool.

    When I crop an image like this:

    4368 x 2912 pixels (size in pixels 72.8 M)

    12.133 8.089 x inches, 360 ft

    size 250 960 KB

    I get a file like this:

    5760 pixels x 4320 (142.4 M dimension in pixels)

    16 x 12 inches, 360 ft

    size 2 145 800 KB

    This file is too big for the PS, then save.

    What is going on? I have not changed anything with the PS, except RAM adjusted according to reviews of Tim Grey.  I found an ad that says to reset preferences, so I tried, but it did nothing.

    Thank you!

  • Several VSS writers fail and my backups are failling too. Need help!

    Several VSS writers fail and my backups are failling too. Need help:

    I have a desltop installed SP3 x 64 XP and a laptop with seven x 64 SP1. In both the machine that my backups fail. I'm trying to back up data by using boats to storage, backup Windows also is failling. I'm taking a full backup on a USB external drive (2 TB).

    I did "vssadmin list writers" and showing several writers are in the failed State.

    I've done SFC/scannow, it did not help. There is no error in the disk and Chkdsk.

    I don't know how VSS works and how to solve the problem. Help, please!

    A lot of people told me they found this informative article. That's why I upgraded that and display back again.

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

    Before you stat is working on this issue make sure that the volumes have no system disk/file error. Run Chkdsk and ensure.

    (1) in the case of a failure of backup/writer, we first check the drivers associated with the VSS backup.

    These drivers are:

    VOLSNAP. SYS

    NTFS. SYS

    SWPRV. DLL

    -Check the version of above mentioned MS 3 files and update using MS Hotfix.

    If we have installed other suppliers, who might be the supplier of StorageCraft, Symantec suppliers and suppliers of Acronis, he must ensure that their files are also updated.

    Note: You can see the list of suppliers using this command: VSSADMIN LIST PROVIDERS

    Some of the DRIVERS PROVIDER commonly find are:

    stcvsm.sys

    symsnap.sys

    snapman.sys

    (2) this step is performed only when we find him

    VSS writers in a failed State. If we find the stable writers and backups still fail, or we get errors, do not perform this step if you please.

    In this case, the VSS writers fail, we can delete the following registry key, after of course saving and restart the server.

    HKLM/Software/Microsoft/EventSystem/{26c.../Subscriptions.

    This key will be automatically recreated when you restart and writers should return to the stable state.

    The writers pending the completion status is not a problem. It's also good that Stable.

    We can do on the Server 2003, 2008 and 2008 R2 OS as well.

    However, in Windows Server 2003, after you delete and restart the "vssadmin list writers" server cannot display all the writers, in this case must register the dll:

    For a list of the dll files to register, please check KB: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940184

    Note: The reinstatement of dll in Windows Vista/2008 and especially is NOT recommended.

    (3) if we have only one / specificwriter (s) in a State of failure, which would always be SQL, EXchange, IIS or NTDS, then we have need to revive their respective service Console of service.

    If they fail repeatedly, then make sure that the application and its components are updated. See their respective engineers immediately. Make sure that the latest service packs and patches are installed.

    (4) make the foregoing, resolves generally 80 to 90% of the questions. If we believe that the issue is occurring, or we have VSS event errors, it may be the providers, the origin of the problem. If the creation of the snapshot does not properly, it can affect writers and other components involved.

    Please check providers using "vssadmin list providers. If we find any other provider, other than the Microsoft software shadow copy provider, we have to remove from the list.

    To do this: start the registry editor.

    HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/VSS/suppliers/GUID.

    One GUID would be for Microsoft Software Shadow Copy provider. The other GUID would be for other providers such as StorageCraft. We will save the GUID, and then delete it. Then restart the machine.

    Now when we do vssadmin list providers, we will see only the default Microsoft provider.

    I have seen in many cases where our supplier of StorageCraft may not work properly and continue of not not the authors. In such

    case, if we get rid of the supplier, then the issue is resolved and not re occurs.

    -However this would impede the functionality of StoaregCraft or any other similar to this backup software.

    That's why to engage respective software tech support for further assistance.

    (5) If a shadow copy is enabled on the volume, make sure that the storage area is set to the default location.

    For example:

    If we take a snapshot of C: then the storage area should be C:

    We are changing that, if we do not have enough free space (at least 300 MB) free.

    We can click with the right button on the volume, goto the cliché tab and change it accordingly.

    Also note that the minimum value of the storage area should be 300 MB and maximum can be 3000 MB.

    We can also set any value between the two, which is a multiple of 300, 600, 900, 1200, 1500 etc... According to the available space.

    In the cases where errors in the event viewer on wait times (event id: 12298, 12310, 2004, 12290) then we also need to put the MinDiffArea in the registry.

    HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/Volsnap

    Right side, new DWORD VALUE - "MinDiffAreaFileSize" - change and set the value between "300-3000 Mo" or any multiple

    300 between the two. Ideally, we can define it on 3000 MB which works even better if we have space.

    Ref: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826936

    (6) also, please make sure we have plenty of free space. If we go by the book, a snapshot requires at least 10% of the volume

    to be free.

    Storage controllers (SCSI/RAID controllers) could also be a problem and may need to be updated.

  • my "next back up" currently reads 105 MB, but when I save the backup size is 4.6 GB

    This has happened to me for a while, I hope that someone out there have an idea!

    I save only AN app in iCloud, so my 'next to the top' currently (and usually) 105 MB, but THEN when I backup the backup size is 4.6 GB! I'm 39.3 KB Notes, Documents and data currently as well... there a any sense to anyone? What Miss me?

    < re-titled by host >

    I think it is normal.  The same thing happens to me.  In my view, once make you a first backup to iCloud, other "backups" are incremental.  Only changed data on the device (since the last backup) are added to the existing backup.  If I am wrong, perhaps someone could correct me.

  • "The new page size is too small": how?

    The width of the page in my book was 4,125 "with 0.25" margins on the sides. The title pages of each section have tabs to purge, and I needed to increase the size of the page to remove a text which was on the tabs, but off the page. I increased the width of the page 6 "and deleted text, but now I can't change to 4,125" wide. FM said: "new page size is too small for some custom column layouts. Why? It was 4,125 "before...

    I checked my master pages, and there are no pages that have columns that are too wide for one page 4,125 ". None of the text boxes exceeds 3.625 ".

    Sometimes I can bypass this message by reducing the width of page in smaller increments, but in this case the message happens even if I reduce the width to 5.99 ". I also tried to decrease all the text boxes to 3.5 "but get the same message.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Tami

    What specific version of FM (help > about) and o/s?

    I often met this already too, in all versions of FM. It seems that there is some routine check who comes in is that after we resize the pages and it won't let go.

    You mention the title pages have tabs to purge, but you did not say specifically, is to know if the text off page is serving on a page of the body or on a master page?

    When you deleted the text in the tab, you also remove the frame, the text was? If this isn't the case, it's probably what FM complains, because he "knows" now on the block of text off-page.

    I'm racking my brain to remember what solutions I found...

    When I implemented a mobile site and put a picture on it, the live version seems too small and on the left side of the screen.

    I tried everything: a fairly small image, adjusting the with, remove anything that might be outside the framework from scratch and put a small random image in it, etc.

    What can be the problem?

    P1210104.JPG

    You can have a box that is wider than the margin of page and overlaps the right margin or something empty to the right... Check your muse file to make sure that nothing is right margin of page on the schema model or the page for the version of your phone.  CTRL + A to select the entire document... This will highlight all boxes and components. My guess is that you have a box hidden in the right margin.

  • Why backup size don't add up?

    I have a problem to backup my phone.

    If I'm going to manage storage

    Documents and data: 43.6 MB

    Mailing address: 17.5 MB

    If I go into my iPhone

    Backup size: 3.7 GB

    Then back up size: 0 bytes

    I have most of the applications off including photo library.

    What is eating up 3.7 GB for backup for iCloud?

    I also tried to delete the backup to my phone.

    When I save, the size was 3.7 GB.

    Thank you!

    I thought that partially the problem.

    I have an iPhone, iPad and Macbook which use the same space to iCloud. Apparently the messages take place backup, and there is no way to turn it off unless you remove all the messages.

    I deleted all of the messages on my Mac, iPad and iPhone, and I was able to free 3 GB space iCloud.

    Even after deleting my messages, it did not free space immediately. I had to delete the backups and backup fresh spring. Then the size reflects the changes.

    I guess that if send you / receive a lot of picture messages and you have multiple devices using the same iMessage, you end up losing iCloud spaces. I could be wrong, but they seemed all backed up separately, even if they are the same messages.

    Anyway, there is always a mystery. After you delete the messages, iPhone and iPad now only mix 800 MB. However, if I go to iCloud on my Mac, it says I have 600 MB of documents.

    I have almost nothing on my player iCloud, less than 30 MB. Where are the documents of this mystery? I also deleted all my messages on my Mac, and photo library is not checked.

    Now my iPhone uses 600 MB, iPad use 200 MB and mystery documents use 600 MB. Full use is 1.4 GB and I have 3.6 GB free.

    Someone know where I can find the documents of mystery?

    He has no such limit, and in fact some users in this domain and other forums report catalogues over 1/2 million pictures works well.
