Capsule full time as his double registered an external drive

Hello

I have a standard mac 500 GB and a separate external drive from Seagate.  The Seagate has itunes and is probably 500 GB used out of 2 TB. The Mac is probably 350 GB full.  These two back up to a 2 TB Timecapsule. Its been fortunately backup for awhile but some how seems to have saved double the seagate as well its economy to its full.

So, I need to restore the Timecapsule to delete the previous info and copy information that is held on the Seagate and Mac.

I had a glance through some of the headings on the Airport utility, but can't see all the options. I wouldn't say I'm tech savvy.  All advice would be great.

Thank you

You say here that you want to clear the contents of the Time Capsule hard drive and start over with new backups of your Mac and the Seagate drive attached to the Mac?

If this is the case, I suppose you understand that you will lose your backup history of the Mac and Seagate drive when you do this, since tit Time Capsule disk will be wiped clean when it is cleared.

Please confirm.

  • Time Machine deleted messages on an external drive to the trash can on iMac are taking place on the hard drive?

    I am struggling with a computer, try to empty the trash with 1million 300,000 Time machine backup files. It runs for two days now and won't install. At this rate, I'll need a week before my computer becomes viable. I don't feel able to go to the Terminal to do the trick. Also at this point, I'm afraid to stop the process again... Backups on an external drive of pigs 400 GB on my drive hard imac... I have so little room to work right now. I deleted some 200,000 files already yet the storage on my imac HD has not moved. The files in the Recycle Bin of the external drive really live on my hd now until they will be deleted if all goes well before Christmas?

    I have a new computer to come next week so I'm wondering if I'll just reformat my entire hd in my imac to solve this problem... Any ideas?

    You do all this in the Finder?

    Time Machine has to delete the files from the user interface, normally "browsing Time Machine backup", navigate to the desired folder, and select the option "delete all backups of...» ». This is the approved way that should work.

    If you are manually dragging the items in the trash of in a Time Machine backup, it can choke. Time Machine stores data with many levels of access control permissions & Finder seems to have difficulties to remove to empty the trash. In fact, I think that the TM drive has limits to prevent normal users to change data on this disk.

    Personally, I think your safest option is to abandon the process, restart, erase and reformat the Time Machine drive. Who will lose all history backups but again in a clean condition seems to be better than trying to manually prune the Time Machine data. Time Machine removes old backups when it is full - so you shouldn't really need to intervene like this anyway.

    Wait and see if anyone has a better idea.

    P.S., each disk has its own "basket", so doing drag items should not fill your Mac startup disk. Maybe the operating system is out of memory, try to process all the files, exit other applications & see if that changes anything, you may have to wait just if you want to avoid to abandon the process.

  • 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.

    See you soon

  • How can I partition my external drive? (Time Machine)

    Hello

    Time Machine doesn't accept my external drive (Seagate Backup Plus thin, 2 TB). It takes the format: "Mac OS extended (journaled):

    So I searched Google and found out, that I have to partition the external flash drive.

    So I opened the disk utility. But then I can't partition:

    What can I do? I really need to use Time Machine.

    My laptop: MacBook Air, 13', mid 2013

    Thanks for the responses,

    Tlumi

    The drive must be formatted with a GUID partition map, your's with a Master Boot record.

    You can copy the content to the Seagate to your mac and format it correctly, partition and copy the data back?

    Open Airport on your Mac, Dave utility, click on the image of the Capsule, and then Edit in the pop-up window, finally, go to the disk tab and you will find the function delete . Once completed, you can return to Time Machine and launch a full backup once more?

  • VCS connection time / do not find registered SIP EP

    VCS 7.2.2

    Composition of an endpoint SIP SIP URI, the VCS did the proper research.

    He seeks the URI and made a small SIP first search (it does not even though it is registered)

    Then it expires and it is through H.323.

    The endpoint is composed is double registered with the same name.

    1. I checked the records, and it seems fine. This particular EP is registered to a VCS Express.

    Hi John, how are you?

    SIP on the 150 sucks MXP. You want to just disable sip and use only on 323.

    Another also called (even with h323) that the 150 disliked.

    So the best option is to replace it with something different, if you have still some e20

    It's ok, jabbervideo is an option or ex60/90.

    BTW, the rule research shows that it has been found, but sending the request who told him properly on not so it has expired.

  • My macpro is backup in the capsule of time even when I was at work, which means that the time capsule is consumed my data plan. Can anyone suggest a way I can have it the backup only when my mac pro and time capsule is in the same local wifi

    my mac pro is backup in the capsule of time even when I was at work, which means that the time capsule is consumed my data plan. Can anyone suggest a way I can have it the backup only when my mac pro and time capsule is in the same local wifi

    If the Time Capsule and MacBook Pros are not on the same network, the MacBook is not backup in the time Capsule. You probably see what snapshots leaving MacBook on the local disk, until the two are reconnected. If you don't want that to happen, disable Time Machine on a different network.

    Good day.

  • What is the best solution when my external drive for Time Machine is full?

    Hello

    I use the latest version of Mac OS X on my iMac 27 ". I use a drive outside of 3 TB G-Tech for Time Machine backup. Due to my recently many RAW photo images, I have less 8% left storage on my external hard drive, so I'm trying to figure out next steps in what concerns the strategy of external storage and have the following questions:

    • When my external drive for Time Machine is full, it is my understanding that older backups on external hard drive will be deleted to make room for newer backups. If the oldest backups contained pictures (whose records have not changed since the time they are initially stored), then I guess that these photos will be removed from the external drive - correct?
    • If I had to replace my external drive for Time Machine with a new external drive which is as big or bigger than the one it replaces, what should I expect on the size of the initial backup on the new drive? I guess the size of the backup would be exactly equal to the current amount of storage used on my drive hard iMac - correct?
    • Would it not be possible to connect the external drive for Time Machine existing at a new Time Machine external drive so that when the original disk is full, the overflow will be automatically stored on the new external hard drive for Time Machine? (If feasible, it seems that this strategy would maximize my external storage capacity vs just replace external drives.)

    I realize that my first two questions are rather basic, but I don't want to make any false assumptions. The third idea is intriguing and I would like to know if this is a viable option.

    Thank you

    Brian

    older files are starting to get deleted because the disk fills up then Yes, they went

    the backup drive should ideally be 4 times the capacity of your current drive, twice is good but has its limits. Also factor in what you store: a jpeg from the web and a raw photo file are the two images, the size of a is very different. If you work in high-resolution or large native files, or audio files (record pro, no music files) or video production twice the disk fills up very quickly. If you collect photos and JPEG and mp3 files or a handful of videos not so much is necessary.

    I would keep the old drive intact if you want to replace and start over with a new drive, if that's the plan. You have the old data, you can keep it somewhere safe and have a redundant backup which you can reconnect at any time to restore from. Let the new index drive itself with new data and take if from there, in the case otherwise you can copy the backup to the new drive and set the drive as the new source of backup but personally I wouldn't copy of the data, that's my preference, it may not be yours and that's fine.

  • Connect 2 capsules of time?

    I just bought a second time capsule and I was wondering if it would be possible for me to connect it to my first time capsule in the same way that people add flash drives or other external drives for storage?

    I have not seen much about it online, so I think it is not taken in charge, but thought I would ask. Thank you!

    If the second Capsule will be located near the first time Capsule, two devices can connect together using wired Ethernet wired, permanent.

    If the second Time Capsule will be a room or two away from the first time Capsule, so in addition to a wired Ethernet cable connection, the second time Capsule could connect to the first Cordless use.

    The wired connection method will produce more efficient that the wireless, then this would be the type of connection to use recommended, if possible.

    The Setup program for the second Time Capsule is different according to the connection method that you choose, so if you need further advice on the Board to the top of the second time Capsule, we need clarification on the method you choose in addition to the information on the current operating system who have installed on your Mac.

  • What version of waterfox has pop-up separate downloads window? I'll seriously go Opera full time, if this is not resolved.

    I want to download the old box! Searching around for your support forum, that I came to the conclusion that he is definitely out. I don't like the vulnerability are older versions so you can save the Conference. I NEED the old version, y at - he an i who has the old style download window is downloadable? Otherwise, I am certainly conversion of opera full time. Seriously. Sorry if I'm coming off like an ass, but it's a sad day... the reason why I started using this program was because it wasn't a clone of chrome and IE... now all you developers browser got in uniform more quickly then the media only in a false flag operation.

    IM using waterfox last updated. (downloaded just after a reformat of routine)

    Waterfox isn't even a Mozilla product, it is a version 3 of part.

    Try the equivalent of Waterfox of Firefox 20 or 25 of Firefox and change the pref browser.download.useToolkitUI to true.

  • Drive external drive to backup to time capsule

    I use my Time Capsule to back up my computer automatically, but I would also like to use as a backup to my external hard drive. How can I implement that? I tried dragging the files into the Capsule of time on the Finder and it does not allow me to do.

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Any drive connected to your Mac can be included in the backup Time Machine.

    Go to the preferences of TM and remove the exclusion of an external drive... which will add to the backup.

    Alternatives are also good.

    I highly recommend to use Carbon Copy Cloner... which is $ 40

    You can copy and paste the files, but it is better to first create a folder on the TC.

    Don't drag the files in the root directory.

    Drag the files into the sparsebundle TM.

    Make sure you that you get TC drive in finder yourself... otherwise you ruin the backup TM.

  • 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.

  • can I take my time with me capsule to use as an external drive?

    I will be away for several months, taking only my laptop. All my work files are on the Big Mac, who will not be with me. If I take the capsule of time with me, I can access all the backup files as if I had to access the Big Mac?

    IMHO that's a great way to do things.

    Transport CANADA is much more fragile than a cheap USB portable 2 TB drive.

    In addition, your files can be difficult to obtain at a TM backup.

    Copy all the files you need on the portable player of 2 TB. I would recommend that you partition so that you can also use it for backups that you travel. They are self-powered of almost any Mac laptop... neat, quick and good light cheap for transporting.

    If you buy one of the best... robust... but I like the Toshiba brand... or buy LaCie Robust.
