• I want to use Time Machine to format a new disk

  I had a hard drive failure (it was always a secondary drive) and I want to format a replacement with Time Machine backups of the drive it is replacing. How can I do this?

  You use utility disk to format, then Time machine to restore the files.

• 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.

• Time Machine the new disk transfer has not moved all the time

  I have a Time Machine backup to an external drive. It works very well. However, he was beginning to run out of space, so I bought a new, bigger HD.

  I followed all the steps of Time Machine: how to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support.

  I then waited 12 hours for that copy.

  Around midnight, I noticed the copy is complete. There was a message that iWork had not been copied because he needed a different operating system. But I rejected. There are no other messages.

  I changed the Time Machine preferences on the new disk. And fell asleep.

  This morning, I walked into a Time Machine.

  Only the first date from July 2014, was on the new disc of TM. Then there was five times after midnight when the new drive was saved.

  But there is nothing in any of the years between the first date and after midnight.

  I know that there are hundreds of TM captures on the original disc. And I've used them very well.

  I tried to copy individual files from the old drive to TM to the new, but it is not possible to "change the backups."

  10.10.5 system

  What should do?

  While in Time Machine, to see all the volumes mounted shift - command - c.    Information derived from Linc Davis.

  If this does not work, try to copy the file to disk/restore utility using to copy the backup to a new location. Please note that this will reformat the destination partition.

• 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.

• Clone of Time machine backup to a new drive?

  I'm trying to help out a new Mac. Before, I had two back ups of all my data: on the hard drive of my old iMac and my external time machine backup disk. Long story, but during the process of troubleshooting using AppleCare support, my iMac has been cleared. Now, I have only the Time Machine external backup.

  I bought a new drive for Time Machine external backup on my new Mac. I am very very afraid of something bad happens to my old Time Machine backup during the troubleshooting process. My question is, is there a way to clone back to the top of my old drive time machine to the new, so I once more two copies?  If something happens to my old time machine up during this process of troubleshooting, I won't lose all my files.

  I'm not familiar with the Time Machine backups, and even if they need to be cloned since that they are not bootable backups.  The following link is dated but maybe having the relevant documents:

• 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.)

• Disk GUID partition? and the new disk utility

  The new disk utility Version 15.0 delivered with El Capitan, differs from earlier versions of disk utility.

  Most will have noticed the absence of the utility to fix permissions.

  However, check the type of disc format is a little more difficult and well.

  The player must be selected, and then the information button must be selected.

  Then, you must look at the "File System" line to see whether or not it is OS X Extended.

  Then you look at the line "Logged" to see if it is 'yes' or a 'no '.

  How do we know if it's a GUID partition or a utility with the new APM partition?

  Sorry to contradict you, but general information about the disks are always where they used to be

  

• [CARS] Add the new disk in the database running environment

  Hi all

  I want to ask a question about oracle RAC especially to add a new disk.

  Here's the situation for existing oracle RAC

  1. There is 1 oracle clusterware (CRS), ASM and 2 node RAC

  2. There is a demand to add a new disk to existing diskgroup

  3. all CRS, ASM and RAC is in the online state

  I read document oracle (How to add a new disc to year Diskgroup existing RAC Cluster or stand-alone Configuration of ASM (Best Practices).) (Doc ID 557348.1()

  My question is,

  1. that I should stop the database, ASM and CRS when add a new disk to existing diskgroup?

  2. are there steps that has already been proven to add a new disk in an operational environment?

  Thank you

  Adrian

  My question is,

  1. that I should stop the database, ASM and CRS when add a new disk to existing diskgroup?

  No, you need not bring down the ASM or DB

  2. are there steps that has already been proven to add a new disk in an operational environment?

  Yes, you can add the disk, ASM automatically rebalance and share the workload on the new disk.

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/B28359_01/server.111/b31107/asmdiskgrps.htm#OSTMG10070

• can I remove the old time machine backups

  can I delete older backups time machine in car

  You can, but it is not recommended... and will be a long and tedious process with a very real risk that your entire backup file may be damaged. Is not worth the time and the risk in my opinion.

  Really, you have three options viable, listed in the order of most expensive on toward the bottom.

  (1) add a new time Capsule and begin to go upside backups... you keep your backups downside... you have to buy a new time Capsule

  (2) add a USB drive to your existing Time Capsule and start backups to go.   Upside down... you keep your old backups.  Downside... the USB will be slow compared to time in car Capsule.

  (3) clear your Time Capsule drive and start over with backups upside... no extra charge. Downside... you lose your backups.

• How can I reduce the size of the security time machine file

  Saving file of my macbook air is to get half of the capacity of the hard drive on my time capsule. I would rather not do it again, but I need to go back five years. I would be sufficient to return two or three years.

  But how to delete a few years to free up space on my drive hard time capsule?

  Time Machine is not designed to do what you want. It can be done, but it is a very long, tedious and frankly dangerous process relating to remove manually every old date backup and then using the Terminal for "compact" the Time Capsule disk commands so that it accurately displays the amount of free space available on the Time Capsule.

  Not recommended for most users. If you want to try when even, have a look at this article to support just below... the box rose in particular.  Terminal is an extremely dangerous place unless you know exactly what you are doing and understand basic programming commands.

  http://pondini.org/TM/12.html

  My advice would be to continue to use the time Capsule until he was 80 to 90 percent complete. At this time, add a USB to the Capsule and archive all backups on the Time Capsule on the USB... If you want to go back and pick up an old file.

  Then, clear the Time Capsule disk and start over.

• Files on the old drive will not be transferred to the new disk

  I use Lightroom CC 2015.5.1 on a Mac. Recently came close to running out of storage so I bought a new bigger external drive. My goal was to spend all her: it's a RAID drive so I tried the redundancy. Initially, I made the mistake to copy the old file during my internal drive structure where most if not all of the old structure has been using the Finder, rather than Lightroom.  I tried to resolve through Lightroom, which of course did not work.  I backed out of it, by removing the drive from Lightroom, then I deleted all the files of the new command using the Finder. Then I reconnected the drive to Lightroom and tried to make a correct move to the new drive. About 10,000 files moved very well, 4 000 do not have. Most of the time those who did not move are older jpg.  I tried to move the folders individually and the pictures individually to anything will do.  I went back to these files on Mac and could see that they existed, but they move in Lightroom. I don't get question marks that would indicate a simple broken link.  He seems to think that the photos and folders already exist and are duplicates, so even if they don't and are not.  I unchecked the box to prevent the movement of suspected duplicates but it did not help. I have a variety of error messages depending on how I tried to go on this issue, the simplest which is he who says that the files can be moved with a list of files which have not moved. It is not a problem of miniature because I can open them from their original location by Lightroom and the Finder out of Lightroom.

  Any ideas?

  -Greg

  What I (and I follow the instructions above) copy these files on my hard drive of laptop computers or move them, without interfering where all my photos are stored (which IS on my DHM).

  If you mean that the Lightroom catalog file, yes you can move it around on your hard drive (it is best to place it in an empty folder) and double-click it to open it. (By the way, even if you move your catalog file to an external hard drive, you can always use Lightroom, it will create a new, empty catalog on your internal hard disk)

  If you talk about the photos, you will need to move photos using your operating system and then in Lightroom to reconnect as explained here: Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

• Old Time Machine back up is not recognized as such on my newly formatted mac

  Hello I have a mac pro 2009 edition, running on OS Yosemite

  I had an external HD to format Time Machine (TM), where I saved all my mac on. However I had to change my mac HD because it crashed and I installed a new SDS. I didn't recover all of my data on the new SSD, but I want to be able to access time machine to restore the items selected as iPhoto and iTunes. But when I plug my external, the computer reads as a regular external and I can't access it through TM and TM TM wonder to redefine a new external for backup of the TM.

  If I select my old external as the new external TM will erase all old backup?

  Is it possible that TM recognizes older externally as Time Machine back up? or is that, with each new HD, TM is new?

  Thank you

  If you now select this drive for Mac with the new HD files o the drive will be not changed/deleted.

  When you reinstall OSX and then try to use a TM backup you must first select this drive. What happens when you select this drive in the configuration of the TM and then try to restore the files through TM interface.

• Problems after you have copied images of Time Machine on new computer

  My old iMac died, so I purchased a new one.  I wasn't able to find a way to restore the images of time machine for the new iMac via the Time Machine application, so I ended up opening finder, open the .db on Time machine and copy my 700 GB of images through, preserving the folder structure.  I open LR, restored my last catalog backup and pointed to the pictures folder. Everything was great.  Until I tried to import images from my last photo shoot.  LR could not import.  Then I found I couldn't create a folder inside LR.  I discovered that changes/moves/adds/copies in the finder required me to type my admin password.  This only happens within the folder hierarchy, that I imported Time machine.  I spent an hour in the repair of Auth Apple here in Thailand and that they could not understand how to disable permissions inside this folder to a single image.

  When I click on the sign more, I'm already here as a read/write user is admin.  My name and admin are shaded out and cannot be changed

• External drive access time machine files
