• Sierra - changes to files, Log and the impact to Time Machine

  Hello

  Updated for Sierra and have a minor but very annoying problem. I hope someone can help.

  In the Sierra before the SYSLOG command would print the system from the Console log. Time Machine executions have been recorded there. With a simple command-line grep "iMac com.apple.backupd" I could find all the Time Machine backups and see backup times and pass/fail status, when an error has occurred, the error type.

  Monitor the status of backup is critical for me.

  In the Sierra, the log files are completely different. I can't find where time machine stores its entries or what these entries look like.

  Anyone know how Sierra I accomplish the above? In a log file or elsewhere?

  Thank you

• Connection of ARD of Time Machine settings

  My main computer has failed yesterday and came out for repair.

  I downloaded ARD on my MacBook Pro, but do not have the connection string information to connect to the computers of my client (on the main computer). I have the Time Machine backup but could not find the connection string information.

  I have replaced/Library/Application Support / Apple / Remote Desktop, /Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteManagement.plist and /Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist with the Time Machine backup and rebooted the laptop.

  I do not have my connection strings. Where is the connection string information stored?

  Hi tijoev,

  Don't know what version of ARD that you use.

  -Latest versions of ARD have parameters stored in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.RemoteDesktop

  -Restore everything in this backup TM folder and restart.

• Time machine on a NAS drive

  I'll buy a Seagate drive NAS personal cloud, who says it's time machine compatible.

  I'm also going to use the SIN for dissemination of my video files to my TV, etc. of the PS4.

  Should I format the disk and partition the drive in a certain format to do this, if until it please?

  I thought that my iMac has a disc of 2 to merge, maybe 2 to for time machine and the rest for videos etc. Can I have 2 partitions in different formats?

  Thank you

  I use a NAS for Time Machine drive. I used the information on this link-> http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/turn-nas-windows-share-time-machine-backup/

  Make your sparsebundle 3 X the size of readers you want to back up.

  Yes the walls can be different formats. But why?

• The merger with Time Machine backups

  I fear I know the answer to that, but would like confirmation.

  I am running Fusion 2.0.4 and have Mac OS 10.5.6.

  As part of support to replace a faulty card from the airport on my MBP, Apple did a new install of the OS and erased my disk. When I started the laptop I told it to restore from a Time Machine backup. He restored all the files under the My Documents folder, except for my virtual machines. He has even restored a text file I had in the 'Virtual Machines' folder, but not the virtual machines themselves. Looking back through the external drive for Time Machine, I don't see the virtual machines to any previous backup.

  I guess I'm watered at this point, although I'm hoping the actual VMs are located elsewhere, and under 'Virtual Machines' files are just links. Does anyone have an idea what I can try, or why the virtual machines are not saved?

  Thank you.

  If your virtual machines were in the "Virtual Machines" folder, where they are. Although it is possible to create a configuration where this isn't quite the case (for example, the link hard to another directory or volume), the simplest and explanation of the default value is that your virtual machines were either not stored (in this case I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news) or in the first place never were in this folder (you can check your drive to backup files/folders - virtual machines tend to be big so should stand out).

  As to why it is, Time Machine in the first versions of Leopard would cause a deadlock (and hang the Mac) in certain circumstances, one of them was a virtual machine. To work around this problem, Fusion told Time Machine to exclude virtual machines. Apple has fixed the bug of Time Machine and deleted merge the exclusion of Time Machine, but it is possible to get into situations where virtual machines are still excluded.

  In general, we do not recommend the use of Time Machine to back up virtual machines - the short version is that it will go quickly through space and that it still does not produce a viable backup. Instead, we recommend that you back up files in the comments (or their mirror to the host and let Time Machine pick them up there), or manually back up virtual machines when they are not running.

• Time Machine - an exclusion different backup for the backup drives different time machine

  I hope someone can help me.

  For these past years, I used 2 Time Machine backups to keep all safe. I have 1 backup x who lives at home and is 3 times the size of my disk. I also have a second drive of laptop that I travel with, which is partitioned to give a little time machine backup, more than 1.5 TB of "overflow storage (for movies, video files, etc).

  Recently however, I realized that my "storage of listening" actually contains a large amount of data I wouldn't lose (especially the photos of my children because they were born), so now I want to save this drive as well.

  If my ideal situation is to have a huge drive I leave at home. This contains backups of the computer AND 'excess of storage' backup. It's pretty simple to implement.

  But can someone tell me if my trip backup, will try also to the other partition of the backup drive? And if so, is there anyway to give different time machine backups different exclusions.

  Hope that makes sense and hope that someone can help me.

  Thank you
  John

  You will need to manually change the exclusions when you going on a trip. There isn't a way to change automatically.

• Help me to get my head around Time Machine/VMware fusion + Snapshots

  Well, then it seems that Time Machine under Leopard and snapshots (set to auto) are of a similar nature.  Time Machine is be all end all, or try to anyway.  I guess my question is double:

  1.) if Time Machine backs up everything: hourly, daily, weekly, etc.  Autosnapshots in VMware is an exaggeration?  Maybe it's just a personal decision, but I would like to hear comments on it so that I can make a more informed choice.

  2.) I have heard several different stories of Time Machine, not backup of virtual machines / support their place too often... it's what history on it?  I use the newer of the two: Fusion and Leopard.  All software are up to date.

  Please help me understand.  Thank you.

  First thing I want to mention is that I do not consider stereotypes as backup solutions because they are stored on the local drive. If the disk down both your virtual machines and snapshots are parties.

  In terms of time Machine, I've seen users have limited success. In general, I wouldn't recommend using Time Machine with VM as it will save all changes (once per hour). When the virtual machine is open it is constantly evolving. You can imagine what it's going to make your backup storage when Time Machine backs up your 20 GB VM every hour.

  My best and easiest solution is simply to drag and drop the virtual computer on an external drive from time to time. If you are more concerned with the information (documents, etc.) in the virtual machine and not the virtual machine, an automated way would be to Shard folders such as installation Documents and have Time Machine backs up those specific folders.

  I hope this helps.

• Time Machine-to the exclusion of directories

  I'm backup my iMac SSD drive (500 GB) on a 3T OSX to format drive.  I also use a directory on this 3T USB as a secondary drive in my favorites (Finder).  What I find is that Time Machine takes about 3-4 DAYS to run a backup.  It takes a particularly long time to complete the process of 'cleaning up' after the backup (which apparently does not get completed if broken.)

  When I "Get Info" to the Backups.backupdg directory that it takes several hours to calculate the size of this folder (~1.5T), while "Get Info" is almost instantaneous on other 4 or 5 t formatted (NTSC) or another OS x 2 t formatted the disk.

  I do this so I can backup the entire disk 3T a cloud or off site backup.

  If I can exclude the Time Machine backup of itself, I suspect the backup can be done in less than an hour. Is there a way to do this in Time Machine or must it backs up the entire drive?  If the latter, I'll apply for improvement for Time Machine!

  That confuses me. Time Machine is unable to save himself.

  I also use a directory on this 3T USB as a secondary drive in my favorites (Finder).

  If you back up the content that is stored on the backup volume, Time Machine will not work properly.

  I think there is something on your Time Machine configuration, I don't understand. Even if your iMac contained 500 GB of content source, the initial backup to a drive connected locally can take a few hours. Subsequent incremental (hours) will take only a few minutes.

  How this backup disk is connected? USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt...?

• Is there a community Apple Time Machine or Family Tree Maker software by ancestry.com.au?

  I can't find the answer to my posted question, either right now or a few years ago, when I last tried.  Maybe I'm posting in the wrong community.

  My question is as above, because I can not restore a deleted of the software said using Time Machine.

  I could never do all the time when the software was originally installed on my old mac, and I can't do it after the transfer of all my system from the old to the new mac.  However, my new mac now tells me that it can't open the application, although it is on my Dock and works perfectly with some other trees it contains; He asks me to migrate.  He may not need migration because it works!  Any ideas?

  These forums are only on Apple Software and Hardware, so it will not be a forum for any form of third-party software.

  I don't see anything specific to Time Machine, but this Web site provides much useful information about Time Machine:

  http://pondini.org

  Can you explain exactly what you have restored?

  In addition, please explain how the application runs, but doesn't? I'm confused by your statement that it runs from the dock with other trees, but does not otherwise.

  In relation to this, you have restored an older version of the App, hoping that your old trees were stored in the app itself? If so, this isn't how everything works. Apps for does not store data in the application. They have separate data storage areas and that's what should be restored.

• Time Machine crashes

  Looking in my journal I find this:
  com Apple.backupd: waiting for index or loan (100)

  After consultation with google I find that the problem is probably related to a disconnection from the backup disk that happened earlier today, when I accidentally stumbled upon the USB when fixing my iPhone.

  I barely touched, but it was enough to cause a disconnect.

  I ' t may be something else though because it seems a little far fetched that a simple disconnect/connect must

  cause such a catastrophic failure like that.

  This post describes how Time Machine can lead to corrupted data when they are exposed to accidents:

  Re: Time Machine 'Waiting for the index to be ready': what it really means?

  If this is the case, then it tells me that Time Machine is not capable of handling disconnects and auto resume.

  I'm guessing that disconnects happen every day to thousands of users of the time Machine.

  So I'm expecting Time Machine to use a fault-tolerant Protocol.

  Maybe it's not.

  Now, I get multiple instances of "com.apple.backupd: waiting for index be ready (100)" in my log file.

  Even if the projector is not indexing.

  It took about an hour to save 3 KB of data.

  Wow
  I'm NOT surprised!

  I should also mention that I added all external drives including the backup drive to the exclusion of Spotlight list.
  So they must not interfere with the backup.
  However, when you add the backup drive, I received the message:

  "My Passport for Mac ' is a Time Machine backup drive.

  Spotlight will continue to search for Time Machine backups but seek no other items on the disk.

  But why must it seek the backups at all.
  Why would I want an index of my backup files?

• Cannot remove old Time Capsule for time Machine destinations

  My MacBook Pro moves with me between my home office and the different clients that I visit. At home, Time Machine backs up a volume of Time Machine on my Xserve served to the network by OS X Server. I guess that for the Mac it looks like a Time Capsule, although in my case, it's a RAID 5 with 12 TB of capacity.

  The problem, when I connect to one network other than my home network. As you can see, the window from system preferences Time Machine offer 'Time Machine backup on 'Dominik AirPort Extreme' network', which is not actually present on any network. When I go home, Time Machine continues to try to save this destination does not exist and does not back up the volume on my Xserve. I have to manually switch for my Mac starting the backup on the Xserve again.

  

  How can I make my Mac forget this volume forever? A couple of system reinstalls, to the end that I use the Migration Wizard to copy the configuration of the system from a backup, have not helped.

  On the computer of my wife as a backup destination appears, the good pair:

• Backups Time Machine very slow on 2015 MacBook Air

  Associated with a topic of discussion between a few days ago (two MacBooks, 10.11.4, a fast Time Machine backup and a very slow), I start a new topic with new information that seem to show it is a problem more general and not related to Time Machine networks.

  Here's the situation:

  • A 2015 MacBook Air, 10.11.4, 8 GB / 512 GB, has extremely slow performance of backup Time Machine, taking 40 hours for the first 300 GB backup and incremental backups for a long time as well
  • TM performance is essentially the same whether on the network (wired Ethernet) or a USB3 external disk
  • When you back up to disk USB3, I confirmed that the information system shows that the port is configured as USB3, not USB2 (nothing else is plugged into the USB port)
  • Tests of bandwidth I/O gross (using dd and iperf) show no problem; the network reached 110 MB/s bandwidth, written network managed at 50 Mbps, external USB3 HD written work at 40-50 MB/s (write hard drive speed limit)
  • 3 other Macs of various ages from 2009-2014 on the same network have no problem at all do backups Time Machine Network; a backup complete first on a 2011 MacBook Pro 500 GB takes 5 hours or more than 10 x faster than the MBA problem
  • Time machine network uses a Linux server running the latest Debian and Netatalk 3.1.8 and the connection is via a USB3/Gigabit adapter, no WiFi, and iperf tests with this arrangement shows 900 MB/s of throughput of the server.  In all cases, the Time Machine and external time Machine Network USB HD have the same symptoms.
  • The problem with MacBook Air is configured the same as the MacBook Pro 2011, which she replaced "daily driver", possible
  • This problem was shown by the MBA since his unboxing conversion, taking 20 hours for his first backup once Setup initially.  Incremental backups now take several hours, leading to interrupted incremental backups and, I believe, databases corrupted backup triggers new full backups that take today the 40 hours.

  Using Terminal Server and iostat, Console, etc, I see that there is significant activity e/s for the backup drive on the order of 20 to 40 MB/s for long periods on the MBA during the TM backup, but during that time the average declared backup size as shown in the window in the console and TM is growing by only 5 GB/hour.  This occur even if the backup will the external drive or a network drive. This seems to mean that the I/O bandwidth to and from the disk hard external, only 1/600 contributes to the progress of the backup.  I am sure that there is overload of certain checks and other tasks, but not to a 600-to-1 ratio.

  I tried to disable the limitation of the I/O of low priority as shown here: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/212537/time-machine-ridiculously-slow-a close-el-capitan-upgrade, that helps a bit (maybe 20-30%), but not by a factor of 10 for others.

  I have gone through a number of the Time Machine of Pondini troubleshooting steps, but he found nothing corresponding to these symptoms.

  The only thing I can conclude is that Time Machine, the application or configuration, on this specific MBA, is down. (A single thought that I wrote this to the top that I have not tried: the MBA and the time MBP running VMware Fusion and have a file of 50 + GB VM; on the MBA that is not excluded from TM backups while on the MBP is)

  Does anyone have advice on what to watch next?  In all cases, only one key would be why it seems that only 0.16% of all the bandwidth I/O to the backup drive seems to be actual data backup.

  Once again, three other Macs, all running the same 10.11.4, back to the Time Machine Server perfectly and have for years.  Only this new MBA glue as broken out, either to a network drive or an external hard drive USB3.

  (A single thought that I wrote this to the top that I have not tried: the MBA and the time MBP running VMware Fusion and have a file of 50 + GB VM; on the MBA that is not excluded from TM backups while on the MBP is)

  What happens when you exclude it as the MBP?

• Time Machine exclude user folder repeatedly

  Hello

  My time machine continues to ignore my user folder. ~ is listed in the exclusions and if I delete it it's just go ~ after that I saved and closed the file of the option (see screenshot)

  I'm tempted to remove the relevant com.apple.TimeMachine.plist no success outside the delivery of other time machine preferences.

  Any other suggestions.

  

  Found the solution to reset correctly a plist after deleting, you must reboot until the system tries to establish a new preference setting. Erased all settings and kept cleared, will be useful for other problems as well I think.

• Time Machine preferences shows no backup

  Very strange problem. I have not saved for a while, and when I attach my drive of Thunderbolt containing backups and go into the preferences panel, it shows no dates more old/last backup.

  However, if I run the Time Machine application, I get the full history of the backups and can browse and restore files as usual.

  If I turn YOU backup automatic, he said his will perform a first backup

  First question is: if I let it, that, is it the problem or composed it?

  How can second question, I get the preferences panel to see the history?
