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.

  • How to set my time capsule from apple for my external hard drive backup?

    I installed a Time Capsule from Apple on my network.  It seems to work very well.  I need to use it to back up my external drive (if possible)

    Can someone give me directions?

    Thank you

    Jean S

    If you use Time Machine, open the system preferences pane, click Options, and remove the external drive from the exclusion list. It is not possible for all formats of volume.

    If you use a different backup product, see its documentation.

  • To the help of two time Capsules, but a as a external hard drive only

    I just bought the new Time Capsule 2 TB "ac" and created a new network home wireless with it (TC is connected by Ethernet to the Modem/Router). I also use this TC to my Time Machine backup. Now, I would like to use my old Time Capsule ' don't (dish, 2012) as an external hard drive in my network in order to make manual backups of various data by drag-and - drop. I donnot want to expand my network wirelessly with the old TC. How can I include in my network just like an external hard drive?

    Very simple... Connect TC Old WAN LAN new TC... the old Installer TC mode bridge... and wireless off.

    He then worked as an external drive in the network.

  • Error message "unable to copy the file"hiberfil", it is used by another person or program." Problem copying content from your PC to external hard drive.

    Original title: problem to copy content from your PC to external hard drive.

    I use Windows XP 2000 and am trying to restore my pc to factory settings as it is continuously 'stick '. When you try to copy my drive "c" on an external drive I get a message saying "unable to copy the file"hiberfil", it is used by another person or program." Close any program that might be using the file and try again "." What is 'hiberfil' and how do I close it down as I am not aware that I use?

    Concerning

    Pete

    The hiberfil.sys will be created every time that you start... If you put in hibernation enabled in your control panel, Power Options and the file is 'open' to think that you can actually choose to Hibernate at any given time.  When you Hibernate XP gives a note of it and will write a hiberfil.sys sometimes important in the c:\ folder so that when XP fires again upwards and returns from hibernation, XP will read the hiberfil.sys file and return to the situation that you were in when you put into hibernation.

    I use to be a chronic hibernant because it takes less time to return after hibernation as a cold start.  Sometimes, it can actually be slower that a cold so start your system based on the amount of RAM has.  The more RAM you have, the more your hiberfil.sys will, if sometimes it's faster to move with just a cold start if you Hibernate (26,03 seconds for me).

    If hiberfil.sys is giving you a hard time (you would not in any way copy it) disable hibernation in your Power Options and the file will be deleted immediately since it would be is no longer necessary.  That would solve this, but if you are trying to copy the entire C drive, you will have other files to complain after that.

    It is certainly possible to make a complete copy of the C drive, if you want, but you will have to initialize on something next to your drive hard if you want to do this so the XP files are not used - then you can copy anything and everything.  You can get some imaging software of disc that will also help you.

    It depends on what the problem is you want to solve and what you wand to end up with when you're done (so far, unspecified).

    I would work on figure our why your XP is paste and fix it in place.  XP should not be sticky.

  • 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 do not use homegroups, but 'true' to share, so I don't know how this is supposed to work with homegroups. But usually he should share a drive or folder, first before you can access it from another machine. (for example, click on the drive/folder properties and go to the sharing tab)

    Redesign existing external hard disks and still 6 Lightroom able to find existing photos.

    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)

  • 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

  • I have a WD external hard drive that I used for a while and all of a sudden I can't.

    The device is a USB connected external hard drive. I used it on a regular basis until today. When I connect it it seems to connect (it lights up), and when he did it before she would open a window that would ask if I wanted to open and examine its contents. It does not now. When I go to Start computer it is no longer present upward with the other HD etc. I took it on another computer and it worked fine. I wonder if a driver does not work?

    Restore points should be back fairly in time, if you have enabled the restoration of the system.

    Read the information contained in the links I provided. about how to use system restore.

    You do not accept the available Restore Point.

  • Use LR5. Because of volume and the size of the photos, I use an external hard drive. When opening LR5 it references only the local hard disk. How can I change the refernce to read the external drive. Thank you

    Use LR5, due to volume and the size of the photos, I use an external hard drive. LR refers only the Local Drive C not outside. Where do I change this by LR read the external drive. Grateful for the help.

    Thank you

    LR is not a file Explorer. He knows only the disks that you imported photos of.

    If you have previously imported these photos, then later moved into the external hard drive, go to the library files and "update location" Panel on the files that you moved.

    If you have never imported these images on the external hard drive, perform an import by using the option 'Add' (not ' copy') to keep the images on the external hard drive during import.

    I went in lightroom and can't find my photos. I lost the link before and did the right click to find and they have been found, but it's different.

    I bought an external hard drive and copied some elements but did not cut their.  I did a back up on my external hard drive, but even once did not move them. I did the simple troubleshooting and it doesn't work.  I'm trying to find the original by right clicking the? on the folder LR and once I find the file it tells me that Lightroom has this file already in the catalog - and I want to merge. I tried one and it disappeared or moved. Help!

    Use the file Explorer to see if the images are still in their original location. I suspect that move instead of copy them. This can happen if you drag you the.

    I found that it is best to use either right click on a file or folder name and select copy then right click on the drive-destination folder and select Paste or use keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste folder and files from one disk to another. The keyboard shortcuts are the CTRL + key C to copy and Ctrl + V to paste in the selected destination folder-drive.
