Backup to Time Capsule and an external hard drive

Hi all

For several years, I use as a router Time Capsule and a backup device. Recently I found information about to associate an additional external hard drive for backup. For me it's a backup just to be sure when my Time Capsule would fail.

I found information on the internet that it was easy to switch between the two devices. I connected the external hard drive in the time Capsule.

But after installing the external hard drive my Time Capsule is not able to back up more!

Please, could you help me find a solution. It would be great for me.

Many thanks in advance,

Diana

I suggest that you get first back ups goes again on the Time Capsule, then we can discuss adding the USB key as a second backup source.

For now, if please power off the power and unplug the USB of the time Capsule.

(Gear on the dock icon)... open Mac system preferences, then open Time Machine

Make sure that Time Machine is running

Click Add or remove disks

Under the backup drives, make sure that the Time Capsule disk (named 'Data', unless you have changed the name) appears

If it isn't, then click data under available disks

Then, click on disk use

Close the window and now, click the 'clock' Time machine at the top of the screen

Click on NTI Backup Now and who should get backups start on the Time Capsule

After the return when you have confirmed that this is the case

  • Can I use my Time Capsule as an external hard drive for my xbox one?

    My Xbox One has only to a 500G hard drive, so I can't download all my games.  Can I use my Time Capsule instead?

    I don't think so.. An Xbox supports USB drives.

    http://support.Xbox.com/en-us/Xbox-one/games/manage-storage

    It will be the reformat format xbox for games... you can not download games on general storage... you can use it for the media.

  • Use the TC for backup and as external hard drive

    Hello

    Can I use TC for backup and as external hard drive?

    If yes then when it is full, TC erase my personal data I have stored in TC as a hard drive or erase the oldest backups?

    1. Yes, but you shouldn't. Your working data and backups must be on separate drives in case one of them goes down.

    2. Time Machine will not erase the data it did not originally there.

    I currently store my pictures on and an external hard drive.  Lightroom 6 was not able to find the picture momentarily files.  I inserted an external Flash DRIVE after removing the hard drive and the computer renamed the stick with the same drive letter that has been designated by Lightroom to store my photos.  I could go into my Windows 10 and reset the player to the letter that Lightroom has given at the beginning of the external hard drive.   However, I know this can happen again, if I connect any stick USD or another device, while the external hard drive is not connected to my laptop.   I found the information that I can do the new designation of the final drive by choosing a letter it is 1/2 way or higher in the alphabet.   I would like to turn an external hard drive on a strong letter, warns we hope this previous problem.   My question is, if I already have a lot of pictures on this external hardrive with the designation of the current drive, how it becomes a higher letter and have 6 Lightroom recognizes files, now under the new designation of drive letter without having to go to each photo individually and manually force Lightroom 6 find each photo.  It would take more time than I'd like to lose.  Is there a way to get just 6 Lightroom to recognize the new disk designation has changed and is able to find all of the existing files?

    I have read the ADOBE LightRoom 6 manual and seem not to be able to find anything on how to do it.

    Any help would be welcome.

    Thank you!

    So in Windows, you can select a drive like q letter (or any other letter you want only towards the end of the alphabet)

    Then in Lightroom, you can reconnect to the photos on q: the following instructions (see specifically 4 Figure and related text)

  • Can I use time capsule from Apple and an external hard drive that is connected to my Mac at the same time to save?

    I have an external hard drive (1 TB ADATA HV620) and a time capsule of Apple 2009. So far I have used the external drive-DATA to back up regularly on my Mac, but it uses one of my USB slots. I would like to start using the time capsule from Apple to everything back up, as it does so wireless, but I still want to be able to back up by using the ADATA hard drive occasionally. Is it possible to use two devices to back up or can I use only one device? Thank you.

    You can use the two devices, but Time Machine... If that's what you use to back up... can back up only to a disc at a time. So if you set up Time Machine to back up on both discs, it will support drive until one first, then the other after the first drive of the backup is complete.

  • Windows 7 Pro Backup can not see my USB external hard drive.

    This seems to be an old problem, maybe someone has a solution:

    I have a Toshiba 150 GB NTFS USB 2.0 external hard drive I used as backup when I had XP, but now I have W7 Pro 64-bit (SP1), and the backup program is unable to see the player.

    It shows in Explorer, it works very well, has write permission, but is not in the list of Backup Options.

    Player is 18 months old. W7 found and installed the USB driver for it.

    It is wired, I don't have a network.

    In addition, Windows cannot format the drive.

    I changed the drive letter of that W7, named F to Z, no go.  All I see in the backup is C and the DVD player.

    It has been suggested that I have uninstall all the drivers USB and reboot and let Windows reload them, but I have a keyboard and a mouse USB, so if I do that has no way to control the computer.

    How can I make the visible external drive for the backup program? Any help is appreciated.

    I use Ghost on my 8 month, Toshiba Satellite L755 and have never seen a conflict.  I also have it on 3 desktop computers.  For antivirus I use AVG free on 3 systems, Symantec SEP on that and Norton Security Suite on the laptop (which I get for free from Comcast).  The only thing related to security, I see in the menu start from Ghost 15 is a small window to give people access to Ghost.  He also built in the feature called Threatcon, which I've never had any message of.  Here's the info of the construction in the help.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    On Symantec ThreatCon

    ThreatCon is threat of Symantec early warning security system. When Symantec identifies various threats, the ThreatCon team adjusts the level of threat. This adjustment gives people and adequate warning systems to protect against attacks and data systems.

    When you activate the trigger of Symantec ThreatCon to a selected backup job, Norton Ghost detects changes in the threat level. Your computer must be connected to the Internet, at the time. If the ThreatCon level is reached or exceeded, the backup operation in which you have enabled Symantec ThreatCon is started automatically. You have then a recovery point to use to recover your data to your computer should become affected by the latest threat.

    Note:

    If your computer is not online, then it is not sensitive to online threats. But if you connect your computer to the Internet at any time, it becomes vulnerable. You don't have to enable or Disable Symantec ThreatCon when you go on or off line. Works if you're online, it doesn't matter if you're offline.

  • Windows 8 and USB external hard drives

    I want a new dv7 with Windows 8 and an Iomega Prestige 1 TB external hard drive I use successfully on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems. It behaves erratically in Windows 8. Sometimes it is not recognized at all. Sometimes it is, but trying to access it via Explorer, Windows crashes requiring a diet forced down. Other times, you can access it with success and even copy a file to it with Solution Explorer, but if you try to copy multiple files with the same drag and drop, it displays the calculation time to copy file window, but the calculation done so forever, just stays there. Also, when you try an Xcopy in the prompt with mutiple files and / or files, copy the first file he is suspended from the command window. The system has a newly updated BIOS and all installed Windows updates. Ideas?

    Tried moving the Iomega for a USB 3.0 drive (the drive is 3.0 and 2.0 compatible) 2.0 in Windows 8 port and it now works fine. No idea whether the problem with USB 3.0 with Windows 8, HP or Iomega.

    Hello

    ·          Windows recognizes the external hard drive?

    ·          How you back up files?

    ·          You get the error message?

    ·          It is visible in Explorer? Disk management how about you?

    You can put your system to boot and try to run the backup. This disables antivirus software and other third parties to eliminate conflicts.

  • Time machine shows no external hard drive

    I have two external drives: USB key contains my iTunes and a 1 TB WD Passport contains photos and other files. I also have a Time Capsule I use to save them. When external drives are plugged into my Macbook USB ports all right; they back up regularly and I can see the backups after entering Time Machine.

    However, when they are disconnected and I enter the time Machine I can't see them more. That concerns me. If one of these devices is lost or stolen, how they may be visible in Time Machine so I can restore?

    See the info on the restoration of several partitions of Pondini.

    See Q32 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html

    However I would recommend that you use Time Machine to back up all your local startup disk... Carbon Copy Cloner to backup your other readers... It is able to select each drive and make another backup... Time Machine is too limited.

  • Errors of license after recovering Time machine on an external hard drive

    My internal HD failed and I'm temporarily using an external drive as my primary HD. I loaded all my data from my backup time machine external hard disk temporarily until my new mac arrives (next week). Now, I'm getting licenses 150:30 error code when I try to open Photoshop. It says restart may fix it. He has not fixed the problem. Any recommendations? I need to work on some files now and am stuck.

    Thank you!

    Yes. This is very common. Photoshop should never be moved or transferred, because the license is tied to the Mac and move breaks the license.

    The remedy is simple. Reinstall using your discs and don't forget to apply the updates. You will begin to 11.0.0.

  • How to make a Time Capsule external hard drive backup

    Hi I just got a time capsule airport which I backed up on my iMac.  I have an external seagate HD plugged on my mac via USB.  I have a catalog photo large library and adobe lightroom on the external hard drive I use and change almost every day. These files are NOT stored on my computer because they take so much space that I would like to keep the separate external disk.  It was my hope to keep a backup on my time capsule on a regular basis with my backup of the iMac.  I have time machine configured to backup from my mac, and then under options, I have seen the drive seagate showing as excluded.  I removed excluded readers and click Save. However I don't think during backup that he actually saved these files because the capsule still shows as have plenty of available disk space.  When I opened the options again shows seagate always excluded.

    so question is can I save the iMac and the external hard drive at the same time?

    If this is not the case, what is the work around for this thing saved?

    thnx

    The Seagate disk should be in Mac Mac OS extended (journaled)format, also known as HFS +, if you want that Time Machine to back up your Mac.

    Do you know how the Seagate drive is formatted?  If it isn't... . Right click on on the icon of the Seagate drive which is mounted on the Mac desktop, and then click read the information. In the window that appears, look for the Format.

    What do you see when you check the Format?
