Can I make a backup of my time on a second external drive capsule

It is perhaps an exaggeration, but as I have a Seagate external drive, I thought it wise to make a second backup. Is there a procedure that I can set up to automatically duplicate what I save on my TC.

I run a 27 inch mid 2011 iMac with the last OS of El Capitan. I use my Time capsule using the airport on 12 hours automatic backup.

Can I make a backup of my time on a second external drive Capsule

Yes, you can... but the procedure will not "auto".  Connect the hard drive to the USB port on the Time Capsule and use the Archives in the utility AirPort.

This copies everything on the Time Capsule on the USB.

Upside down... you have a copy of all of your backups on the Time Capsule. Downside... you must check manually... and... f there are problems with the backups on the Time Capsule, these same questions will be copied on the USB.

IF... connect you the player to the USB port on the Time Capsule, rather using the manual function Archive... you don't have the opportunity to have Time Machine backup automatically at a time Capsule of time and the USB on the Time Capsule.  Time Machine automatically alternates backups from one disk to another.

Even better, more reliable and much faster would be to connect the USB directly to your Mac and have Time Machine automatically backup the disk in addition to the time Capsule.

There are other options of backup as well, but they would not be using Time Machine.

    Firefox cannot renew its tabs and now won't run and let me do a backup

    This may be considered to be solve my problem.
    I decided to uninstall the rogue program Firefox download and reinstall the same version (No. 8). I used Windows XP Add Remove programs who asked if I wanted to save the settings of Firefox until I uninstalled Firefox. I said yes and operated with the uninstall. I couldn't find a Firefox 8 so I went for the 12 version and installed on the laptop. This version 12 now works with all the passwords one favorite of the uninstalled 8.

  • Recovering data from a Time Machine to an external drive backup

    How to recover data from a backup Time Machine to an external drive?

    I use Time Machine to back up data (photos, videos) on an external drive (drive A) to another external drive (drive/B) separate that I use for Time Machine backups. After performing a backup, the external drive (drive A) appears in TimeMachine and can I recover files that are on the external drive (A) just as I can for the files that are found on the internal hard drive.

    I need to know what to do if I drop my external drive (drive A) completely and you want to recover the Time Machine backup on a new replacement drive?  When I disconnect my external drive (A) and enter the Time Machine, I don't find a way to access the files to recover.  Still... I know they are there!

  • How can I make a DVD of the restore hidden in my external hard drive partition recovery

    How can I make a DVD of the restore hidden in my external hard drive partition recovery because I want to recover my toshiba satellite L840 that does not respond directly to my hard drive so I put my laptop to an external HARD drive and then I want to copy a DVD recovery partition

    Your question is a bit confusing, you can boot the laptop at all? Have you tried booting in safe mode, you can make a recovery DVD set from there, the folder Toshiba.

    With the drive in the Toshiba, you should be able to use a F, F10, F11, or F12 key to activate the installation from the partition hidden started upward.

    Otherwise, you can contact Toshiba, and with the model of the product id number and the laptop for Windows, you can buy a set of disks.

  • How can I make a backup in safe mode?

    After HP installed a new motherboard in my computer it does not start in normal mode due to a conflict pilot somewhere they can't find.  But I can run it in safe mode.

    HP has decided to send me a new (and better) computer rather than trying to resolve the conflict.  But my problem is - no backup program does work in safe mode!  The thing Windows Easy Transfer does not work.
    I desperately need to get all of my Office 2010 settings and configurations moved to the new machine.  And ideally, I'd like to get all my programs and settings moved as well.  I have an external hard drive that has plenty of space for everything.
    I would like to make a backup image of August that contains all programs and settings, I need.  But the old machine is running Windows 7 Professional and the new a Windows 7 Home Premium and I do not know if the backup/restore functions are the same.  Anyone know if I can use the backup/restore of Windows in Windows 7 Home Premium to restore settings and programs to a Windows 7 backup professional?  If so, it would be what I need.
    If not, anyone know if there is a way to save these settings in safe mode and programs?
    (I can't believe none of this works in safe mode.)  When you need to run in safe mode, you are obviously in a critical State and it seems that would be a time that many people would need to make a backup).
    Thank you!

    Ah no!  I did not try it.  This would have been an excellent suggestion.

    That's what I hate about these forums... you get a useful answer, a week after you ask!  (not your fault, I know).

    But I'm already in place and running on the machine again and the former is on its way via FedEx to HP.

  • How can I make a backup of my ipad?

    How can I save my Ipad? Just bought more storage and backup ipad attempted for the first time. backup begins, works for hours and then stops before completion. Restarts and the same thing again and again. It is said that he needs 2 days. Is such a long timr for a normal backup? And what I have to give up the ipad during this time? The backup stops because I opened the ipad?

    What is the amount of storage that you used on your iPad and you purchased enough storage iCloud for storing all the data?

    Also, initially, iCloud backup can give you a ridiculous amount of time, but as the data gets uploaded, the time should be reduced.

    It may take a while for the download of backup. My backup of almost 50 GBs took between 6 and 7 hours to download.

    You need to plug your iPad into wall power and let it operational (disable automatic locking and just turn the screen brightness way down and leave the iDevice completely active during the backup process.)

    That's what I do.

  • Time Machine gray on external drive

    Hello

    I understand that starting with OS X Yosemite, it was possible to include an external drive for your Time Machine backup. To be clear, I don't speak _to_ an external backup drive, I am just talking like an external drive connected to always be part of your saved content.

    I understand default external drives are excluded from the list, but we can count them by selecting them in Time Machine preferences by clicking on the "-" to remove it from the exclusions list. However, I have an external hard drive where I can't.

    I suspect that this is because it is in the format ExFAT but wanted to confirm. Does anyone know the technical details about this?

    As far as I know Time Machine do not save to the format ExFAT drives.

  • How can I remove multiple backups of my Time Machine drive

    My time machine drive has reached the point where you have to delete an old backup before it completes a new backup.  Is it possible to delete several backups (e.g. all 2014 and 2015 ups 25%) since the Time Machine disk at the same time?  I know how to delete a backup but want to delete several at once.

    By removing the old back ups, remove the first one made or that it has the basic material on which TM all backups are built?

    Thank you

    I came across exactly the same problem earlier this year. The best answer I found was here: thegreyblog.blogspot.com/2014/03/shrink-your-time-machine-backups-and.html in short, Time Machine, always create a full backup, not an incremental backup. So, no, you don't cause damage by removing one. I did it without adverse consequences. Second, use the tmutil command to delete old backups. sudo tumtil gives you the full list. I wrote a bash command line script, as the author points out. I deleted everything I had since last year, from the first backup performed in October, with:

    $ sudo tmutil listbackups

    Password:

    / Volumes/Seagate backup more Drive/Backups.backupdb/mkauffmanmbp/2016-01-01-003303

    / Volumes/Seagate backup more Drive/Backups.backupdb/mkauffmanmbp/2016-01-02-005714

    There was a lot more lines, what we are after here is the location to be used in the next line. In my case it has/Volumes/Seagate Backup more Drive/Backups.backupdb/mkauffmanmbp/ you need do the same thing, use it-before all the spaces in the path as shown below. Below, I've used 2015-1 * because the mine began in October 2015. I have therefore of 2015-10, 11 and 12. If you want to get rid of all 2015 you can use 2015-*. If you want to get rid of everything before October, you can use 2015-0 * which would remove 01,02,03,... 09 to 2015.

    $ sudo tmutil disable local

    (Here a line.)

    $ for i in/Volumes/Seagate\ Plus\ Backup\ Drive/Backups.backupdb/mkauffmanmbp/2015-1*; tmutil delete "$i"; fact

    $ sudo tmutil activate local

    I hope this helps!

    If this is the case, I would contact HP (the telephone number can be found on the corresponding link below) and explain that the Recovery Media Creator is unable to create a viable set of recovery disks and ask them to send you a free replacement set.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

  • Backup using Time Machine on two external drives?

    I know that time the machine supports two separate discs, but my question is:

    For example:

    If I have a Pegasus RAID of 8 TB, can I use two external 4 TB to my time machine backup disks?

    Time machine splits my data through the two HD?

    Thank you!

    Steve

    As far as I know no, TM will not cover the files on drives.

    You could create a second RAID using 2 4 to disks with older versions of disk utility (training of RAID is no longer supported in El Capitan) or via the Terminal and use it, but I recommend strongly against this. RAIDs always have additional layers of vulnerabilities, so you're much better off getting 8 or 10 TB of drives for your back - up (s) 2 back Ups always better than 1.

    Hope this helps, Greg
