Clone of Time machine backup to a new drive?

• Cannot transfer Time Machine backups on the new drive

  I store my backup Time Machine on a Seagate 1.5 TB drive when the drive starts giving errors.  I had files on this computer and was able to transfer all except for 2 who were on unreadable sectors.  Fortunately, one of these files was an older archived version that I could afford to give up and the other was a temporary file in the photo library and since all other items were okay, I think I'm good.

  The problem came when I tried to transfer my Time Machine backup of 800 GB for a new disk.  When I copy and Exact-paste (cmd-opt-shift-v) the Backups.backupdb to the new drive, it gets the extent of November 23, 2015 and then dies because reports of the Console to the system, it gets an IO error when you try to read:

  /Library/SystemMigration/history/migration-245250B6-4F52-4FBB-BD61-546A8C19CCD5/ QuarantineRoot/private/var/db/dyld/dyld_shared_cache_x86_64

  in the relevant backup.  And because it's an IO error it simply abandons the whole process so I have no backup from November 23, included, for now.

  Because the disc is unstable, I wasn't able to use disk utility to make repairs on it.  The disc is what is and I have to deal with the mess, that I do not have the disorder, that I would have.

  I tried to manually place the missing files in the database, but the operating system will not let me.  I want to just copy my backup / OS X stop abandonment and be more like Windows and give me the options to "try again" or "fail" instead of just quitting!  I mean, why should I lose my backup all hierarchy of 23 November and beyond, simply because you cannot read a file, a file that I could simply replace in the backup of the current version or you can just ignore it.

  I tried to copy files on and setting xattr on them to be backup items, but they are wrong.  I tried chflags parameter to make the writable directory, but it does not work.  I can't copy the missing files to fix my archives.  Help.

  Please, don't try to transfer backups of a failed drive. Placing the disk aside until you don't know no longer you need the data, then delete and recycle. Start a new backup set on the new drive. For more security, you always have more than one backup.

• Transfer Time Machine backup on the new disk, preparing already > 24 hours!

  I followed the instructions on the web site (Time Machine: how to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support -essentially a copy via the Finder) and after more than 24 hours the copy process is still "preparing to copy" and lists currently more than 4 million items.

  Yes, I have a large number of files, 2.65 TB of info I want to spend on a new disc of 6 TB, but this method of copy will take too long. I'm afraid I have to stop the process of copying in the morning, because I have to take my MBP on the road.

  Is there another "clever way" of making a Time Machine backup on a new external drive?

  You can try using the software clone to make a copy, but I'm afraid that the size of the data you are trying to copy will take a long time with any method.

  I suggest starting with a new Time Machine backup disk 6 to and leave the old time in the form of a Machine archive to use if necessary.

• How to transfer Time Machine backup to the new external hard drive

  I'm upgrading to a 1 hard external to the Western reader to with 5 TB of Seagate.  This is because Time Machine has used the 1 TB drive.  How can I transfer the files from backup Time Machine from the old to the new drive so that backups continue to have access to the old files.

  Although the documentation Apple says you can copy Time Machine backups in the Finder, it is very slow and sometimes does not.

  This technique works only if the volume that you copy to the same size or larger that that you are copying to.

  First of all, please open the Time Machine preference pane and click the Select Disk... button. You may be able to unlock the settings first, by clicking on the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window. Log in as administrator.

  Remove the volume you want to copy in the list of backup destinations. Then turn off Time Machine.

  Launch disk utility, open the built-in Help and search for the term 'Double '. Follow the instructions. All existing data on the destination volume will be deleted. That shouldn't be a problem, because you do not want to mix non-sauvegarde and backup data on the same drive anyway.

  If the volume you are copying has been encrypted by Time Machine, you must first unlock it. Click the release button in the toolbar of the disk utility window.

  Turn Time Machine back on and select the new volume as a backup destination. Alternatively, you can continue to use the old volume, if you wish. Both will be alternated when both are available.

  ATTENTION: If you copy the volume is corrupted, as shown by the ERD or first aid in disk utility, while corruption is copied to the new drive. Do not copy data from a damaged on a faulty disk volume. Put aside the reader and do not use until you don't know that you no longer need the data. Then securely erase it and bring it to a recycling center. Do the same if the restore operation fails with "disk errors."

• Time machine backup on my external drive...

  Hello

  I am doing this for the first time so I need some help here please.

  I have a 5 years, 250 GB Mac Book Pro running on Mac OS X 10.6.8.  I have NEVER done a Time Machine backup first.

  I have an external hard drive 1 TB, which has about 200 GB of data backed up from my Mac Book pro and other files.

  I want to upgrade to El Capitan and want to back up my book ALL of the mac pro.

  My question is, is the external drive with about 750 GB of sufficiently available to back up my entire Mac Book pro...?  Looks like it should be. The IMPORTANT question is, somehow will it delete my existing files in my external drive...? How can I make sure that this does not happen...?

  Separately, I have 2 accounts on my Mac Book Pro, when I back up my laptop using Time Machine, goes up two accounts...? ... Should I be logged into my main account so it backs up two accounts...? How that will work in a restaurant...?

  Thanks in advance!

  Vik

  Hello

  Your best bet would be to clone your entire drive to another Partition on the hard drive, external, but repartitioning is not without risk.

  TM should work but is not ideal. TM backs up only the account your as I recall.

  Everything that you be sure to secure boot, now hold SHIFT key on startup to repair the startup disk, and then use Utilityto repair disk external hard disk.

• How can I make Time Machine backup to an external drive?

  I have an external drive that I stay logged in all the time, and I want that she is saved with my hour of hard drive internal Machine. I found the setting "IncludedVolumeUUIDs" in Library/Preferences/com.appleTimeMachine.plist, but I can't change the permissions to modify.

  Open the Time Machine system preferences pane, click Options, and remove it from the list if possible. Time Machine can't back up NTFS, FAT32 volumes and exFAT.

• Cannot switch between multiple Time Machine backups

  I generally save my 2010 Macbook Pro to a 2012 Time Capsule, which is attached to my router via an ethernet cable (most recent) wireless. On a trip, I make the additional backups on an external hard drive. However, when I go home and try to return to the TC, my internal HD is now on the time Machine "Exclude" list and cannot be removed (greyed out). When I try to save, I get a message saying "no disks are available to back up."

  What has happened a few times, and the only solution I could find was to delete my original Time Machine backup and put a new (which took forever).

  Any ideas why my HD internal is added to the exclusion list after using Time Machine with an external hard drive?

  Time Machine backups on a network drive or a disc attached locally stored in different formats. Switching between them was not in the overall theme of the design of this service of OS X.

  I suggest that you set up Time Machine to use multiple disks.

  FWIW, in my case, I backup destinations, Time Machine on a Time Capsule and an external hard drive of 2 bolt of lightning. When both are available, the time goes 'take turns' Machine backup on each drive.

  If a disk is not available, it backs up to that which is, and which ignores the backup of the other. When the two are connected again, backups continue on both.

• Wireless shared time Machine backup with Airport Express?

  Hi all

  I looked around lately for a solution to this issue and who struggle to get by.

  I'm a musician, and at home, I have an iMac that I work on. Everything is there, basically. I have a Time Machine backup to an external drive.

  I also have my old MacBook that I use to play concerts. I have what I need for it there: especially Max/MSP patches, odd live recording and a few samples. I don't have a backup of it right now. Max patches are the only files not on my iMac.

  So far, all the files I need for two computers, I have sync with DropBox and OneDrive. I'm getting a little tired of copy things more, re-upload, forgetting where something is and having things scattered everywhere. Ideally I'd like a shared folder of a certain type that is always up-to-date on both computers. This folder will contain Max patches, live recordings and the weird thing I do away from home.

  I would also be able to save more flexible:

  • the iMac backup
  • Backup of MacBook Pro
  • Shared folder backup

  I've been looking around a bit and I'm not sure how best to do so. A kind of home server would be an option? I have not used one drop/airport/Time Capsule of Apple stuff before, so I'm not sure how they differ from each other.

  I like Time Machine, because I can't think to save things. If I could have three backups separated like the ones I mentioned (for the security and because my brain can deal with it better if it is presented that way), that upward with Time Machine or something similar, to some central place automatically.

  I looked at the airport in Time Capsule and it looks great, but I can't afford it right now. I also saw contradictory information on AirPort Express can be plugged into an external drive for backup, so if Time Machine can be used with wireless at all.

  I hope that what I am asking is logical. I would like the simplest solution to back up two computers and have a shared location for the common files needed on both.

  Thank you!

  Phil.

  So far, all the files I need for two computers, I have sync with DropBox and OneDrive. I'm getting a little tired of copy things more, re-upload, forgetting where something is and having things scattered everywhere. Ideally I'd like a shared folder of a certain type that is always up-to-date on both computers. This folder will contain Max patches, live recordings and the weird thing I do away from home.

  An option here would be to get a device connected to the network (SIN). This unit can store all the required files and be accessible to one of your computers on your home network. A number of these devices is also available remotely, when necessary. Here is an example.

  I would also be able to save more flexible:

  • the iMac backup
  • Backup of MacBook Pro
  • Shared folder backup

  To the extent not "have to think about backup things', Time Machine (TM) would be a solution that is easily available to you now. It would create separate for each Mac backups. In addition to using an external hard drive as you do now, other TM backup destinations could be:

  • A time Capsule
  • A 802.11ac AirPort Extreme with a connected USB hard drive. In this configuration, Apple calls the drive and the drive from the airport.
  • A NAS

  In the last item in the list, you see that a NAS could offer solutions for each of your goals. However, if you are on a tight budget, likely the most expensive company to undertake, as the physical drive of NAS enclosure can run around $400-600 only, without any installed readers. This is where the time Capsule can work out cheaper for you.

• Time Machine asking to create new backup, backups, but seems to work very well

  Time Machine tells me that he wants to delete my backup history and create a new backup volume, but it seems to be back up files very well. I use an Apple AirPort WiFi. Must I just keep ignoring Time machine to start a new backup volume? I really don't want to lose my backup history.

  Something is not here.

  When time Machine tell the backup is corrupt and he must wipe... then it can save is more to it.

  That probably makes TM uses your local hard drive to a backup snapshot from the network on your Time Capsule version (or AE more USB drive) is now corrupted.

  Sorry, but your history of Time Machine is now dead and lost... and just need to bury. There is rarely any great point by making a backup of the sparsebundle... but if you are adamant then for sure just copy the sparsebundle to a different location... erase the drive, and then start over... You have no choice.

• Restored HD from a Time Machine backup of my old iMac (stolen) from my new MacBook Pro.  Not all the files have been restored.

  My iMac 27 "(2011) so my wife 13 '' MacBook Pro (2011) were recently stolen after our House was robbed.  My wife got a new MacBook Pro and I restored it successfully its data (selected "backup restore Time Machine" during the installation of its new MacBook Pro).  However, I also got a new 15 "MacBook Pro in lieu of the iMac 27".  I have, once again, selected "Restore from Time Machine backup" (selected the iMac as the backup source) when installing my new MacBook Pro.  When it was finally over, I told Time Machine to inherit from the backup.  Unfortunately, none of the files in the My Documents folder or the photos in my photo library have been restored.  Was it a bad idea to try to use the backup of the iMac as a source for the MacBook Pro (both running El Capitan)?

  is it possible that your documents are stored on another drive which was not part of the backup plan? or is the HD in the big enough MBP to inherent the old backup.

  If you open the time machine with the original backup disc, you should be able to browse the content

  

  If the files are found, you can restore by right-clicking (or CTRL + left mouse)

• Time Machine must create a new backup

  I received the following message: Time Machine has conducted an audit of your backups on "Personal Cloud."  To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you.  Does this mean that to maintain backups, my previous backups will be gone?   I'm basically ignoring tech.  Thank you!

  Does this mean that to maintain backups, my previous backups will be gone?

  Yes.

  A device third-party network attached storage (NAS) or a router is unsuitable for use with Time Machine, especially if it's your only backup. I know that's not what you want to hear. I know that Time Machine accepts the device as a backup destination. I know that the manufacturer says the device will work with Time Machine, and I also know that it usually seems to work. Except when you are trying to restore and find that you can't.

  Apple has published a specification for network devices that works with Time Machine. No third party provider, AFAIK, does meet this specification. They all use the application of "Netatalk" incomplete, obsolete Apple Filing Protocol.

  Apple does not endorse any device third-party network for use with Time Machine. See this support article.

  Network backup, use as destination an Apple Time Capsule or an external storage device connected to another Mac or a 802.11ac AirPort base station. Only 802.11ac base stations support time Machine, not older model.

  Otherwise, use Time Machine at all. There are other ways to save, although none of them are nowhere near as effective or as well integrated with OS X. I don't have a specific recommendation.

  If you are determined to continue to use the device with Time Machine, your only remedy for any resulting problem is the manufacturer (who will blame Apple, neither you nor anyone else but herself.)

• Go new Time Machine backup drive

  I have searched the forums and have not been able to find the answer to this yet.

  It is my Time Machine backup on an external hard drive. I want to move it to a new drive and get rid of the old drive. But I can't find any information that explains how to migrate from one disk to another. Can I just copy the folder Backups.backupdb on the new drive? I'm guessing that's not as simple as that.

  In addition, on the "Ignore ownership on this volume" checkbox. I'm confused by what I read in the forums because it's kind of like a double negation. Once & for all, for this new album I want it checked or unchecked? And why?

  Thanks for your help.

  You can make a copy of the Finder to the new drive, but sometimes it hangs and does not work

  Try using disk/restore to copy the backup to a new location. Please note that this will reformat the destination partition.

  Checking ignore permissions usually eliminates any permissions problem which may occur.

• Can I use Time Machine backup of my 2011 MacBook Pro (el Capitan) to set up my new (2016) MacBook Pro? How?

  Can I use Time Machine backup of my MacBook Pro 2011 (15 "/ 500 G HD/El Capitan") to set up my new (2016 13 "/ 1 TB HD) MacBook Pro? How? I want to pretty much recreate my whole installation/files.

  See this discussion of Migration Wizard. You will notice that the Time Machine is one of the sources that you can connect your new Mac to transfer what was on your old Mac that TM was back up.

• New iMac, Time Machine backup

  I'm moving to a new iMac. On the new iMac, I can't use the Time Machine backup of old Mac. I "removed" the time of the old iMac Machine. Every time I try a backup on the new iMac, I get a "backup failed" the Time Machine backup is already in use. »

  He is a former...

  TM must control the sparsebundle to the backup... He must disassemble at the end of the backup cycle... and back at the beginning of the next cycle... I assume you are using a TC.

  The solution is to disassemble the TM properly... or to put it in simple terms... Restart the TC.

  I highly recommend not to inherit the old backup... but start a new... If the drive is not large enough we can make suggestions on get more space or recovering from it.
