• Cannot open encrypted on Time Machine disk image

  I have an encrypted file protected by password in my Macbook Pro.  The folder name is "Enc.dmg" and is kept in the main Applications folder. If I remove the Time Machine backup before a dmg file, it seems theoretically to save.  But when I later enter Time Machine go to Applications and click on the Enc.dmg file, it opens; It is not mount the disk image and invite me to enter the password.  Instead, a non-functional information is displayed.  The box contains unnecessary information. He tells me it's a dmg file.

  If ever, my computer crashes or is lost or stolen and I can't access my file encrypted on Time Machine, I'll be in big trouble.  Is it possible to actually make a dmg properly function in mode Time Machine?

  You restore the file before trying to open it? It should not open in Time Machine.

• adding the 2nd Time Machine disk backup capability

  I have a Mac pro OS X 10.11.5 with two discs devoted to the backup. When I wanted the first filled to the top, then add the second to continue archiving backup files.

  I don't want to lose my older archived data in backups on disk 1.

  What happens when I add a second drive to add capacity to the Time Machine backups?  Once the first drive is hard full TM then will use the second drive until it is full?

  When you add the second drive, I get a warning that the TM will take turns using the disc 1 and disc 2. But 1 disk is full. TM will not delete old information on Drive 1 to make room? If Yes is not good because I want to keep the old data. I just want to keep incremental backups to Drive 2.

  Please specify the feature.

  Yes, TM will continue to save on disk 1 and delete older backups and take turns with disk 2. If you want to keep 1 as it is by car, then you must remove it from the list of backup. Start a new backup on disk 2, and continue. In both cases, the disc 2 will make a new full backup of your computer.

• Can record data on a partition of time machine?

  I am able to put things on a partition that is used for time machine without screwing something up? As the partition that has the "Backups.backupdb" folder which I assume has the stuff of time machine in it. Can I copy other files in the partition (but not in this case, of course)?

  I never mix the backups with the raw random data even on the same disk.  Too much chance to "random data" operations damage the backup partition information.

• Time machine disk disappeared launching parallels

  Hello
  When I run the word on Windows 10 on 11 Parallels on my iMac, my Time Machine drive icon disappeared from my office. The time machine software stops the backup of my HD since the drive has disappeared.
  It reappears when parallels is closed and the smoking cessation.
  Why?
  What should I do in order to make parallel and time machine living peacefully side by side. Thanks and greetings

  Personally never used Parallels and there is not much for support information on their Web site.  Based on my experience with VirtualBox, surface-mounted disk in the virtual machine, it takes control of the host OS.  This is perhaps what is happening.

  This seems to be a relevant article in the Parallels knowledge base.

• Is it possible to remove a file from your time Machine?

  Is it possible to remove a file (s) from your time Machine?  When I tried, I got a pop up says that backs up the items cannot be changed. How do you get the room on your Time Machine disk?

  Time Machine takes care of its own needs of storage itself, without interfere you in the process. When the TM drive is running out of storage space, TM will remove older backups if necessary.

  Time Machine backups are very sophisticated in what is backed up at what time. It is not as simple as just delete the backups 'elders '. Let TM its magic in itself.

• Recover mail - Time Machine dates in gray

  Following a successful by Apple repair, my MacBook Pro with El Capitan is now rebuilt and everything works, including mail.

  I used to have a number of files that I used to store mail offline (family, finance, service provider, leisure, etc.)

  I have a Time Machine disk that contains data. I tried to recover by holding the Option key and selecting the right disc, but I can not go far enough - he reached on a date with a red line against it on the right side in Time Machine, but all the above dates that are grayed out (page are in gray), although I can see the date. Clicking on it does nothing.

  The disk in the Finder, I can see the files throughout the library > Mail > V2 > mailboxes > {various .mbox files}

  Given that I can see / copy, is there any way I can get them in office on the MBP please?

  Thank you

  Bob

  In Time machine the last date that is not grayed out: go to the folder 'up', the one you are in, may be still another level above, then go further back in time. then go 'down' in the folder and again until you find the records you are looking for.

• Time Machine every few weeks stopped backup because it must create a new backup. 9 to on MY Cloud EX2 takes 4 full days. Crazy to keep losing all backup dates.

  Time Machine every few weeks stopped backup because it must create a new backup. 9 to on MY Cloud EX2 takes 4 full days.

  Crazy to keep losing all backup dates

  Message reads

  "Time Machine has conducted an audit of your backups on"WDMyCloudEX2". To improve the reliability,

  Time Machine must create a new backup for you"

  Click Start a new backup to create a new backup. This will remove your existing backup history. This may take several hours.

  Click Back Up later to be reminded tomorrow. Time Machine won't perform backups during this period.

  Is - this common, no way to stop it?

  Just take a brief look at WD for 'My Cloud EX2' site, they list El Capitan as an operating system supported. Mavericks is the latest OS listed. Probably you need to contact Western Digital support.

• To access the backups Time Machine another computer

  I have spent a good hour looking for a solution to this problem, but have developed empty-handed.

  If I understand correctly, backups of access from another Mac time Machine, I need to connect the backup drive to another Mac and select "Browse Other Time Machine disks... "in the Time Machine dock menu and choose the drive.

  The backup drive appeared as expected and I clicked on "Use selected Disk" to enter the time Machine.

  At this point, the computer between what seems to be Time machine, but shows a Finder window to the hard disk of the computer rather than the backup drive and shows not all dates before "today (now)."

  A thread has suggested that I open a Finder window and select 'Computer' in the menu to reach before the opening of time Machine. It did not work.

  Another thread has suggested that I have use the Migration Wizard rather to recover files and folders, I need. This is not ideal, but I tried it anyway, the result being that the Migration Wizard app remained "Looking for source...". "without finding the backup drive.

  Before formatting my drive on the original Mac, I had checked for if ensure that I could access the Time Machine backup while it was plugged into the backup drive (which he successful well).

  I use the latest version of El Capitan 10.11.6 on a MacBook Air (mid 2011). Backup is a MacBook Pro (mid-2010) who ran as El Capitan.

  I would appreciate any other suggestions!

  So, I discovered the solution, which has been in a simpler way that I expected. Before opening, Time Machine, it is necessary to find the sparsebundle Disk Image in the backup disk in the Finder and open it with "DiskImageMounter." Then, you must select "Computer" in the Finder menu reach before choosing the option "Browse Other Time Machine disks... "menu to the dock of time Machine. The first finder window it shows in the Time Machine view still belongs to the computer, but now it shows the previous backups, who are all from the backup drive!

• Backup a Time Machine backup?

  When troubleshooting a Mac in the past, I had the frightening experience of him erase my Time Machine backup.  Fortunately, I was able to restore the backup on the disk.

  Now I'm troubleshooting a Mac, I have my external drive Time Machine and a blank disk.

  For security reasons, before making troubleshooting more away from the Mac, I want to back up the Time Machine disk to the blank disc.

  Of course, I could just drag - copy the folder of documents from one disk to another, but it can cause all sorts of permissions problems. Would it not possible (or better) to use a backup like Carbon Copy Cloner for this application?

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

  You can then go to system PreferencesTime Machine and add the blank disc as a backup drive.

• Time machine sees the backup, but not connecting to new machine

  Just did a transfer from MAC to MAC using Thunderbolt cable - everything is good!  Then, I wanted to make sure that the new Mac can access Time Machine backup file on the network file server.

  Old MAC - running El Capitan 10.11.3 - TM full backup to the network Central of Seagate drive is successful.

  New Mounting successful MAC - running El Capitan 10.11.4 - Time machine disk Seagate file

  . Name of the new Mac is slightly different because of the collision of network host names

  Various attempts to select the reader appear to succeed but the backup information (Date of last backup) are not displayed.

  Entering Time Machine will display the finders stacked, but it will timeout to 30 seconds, saying: he cannot connect to the backup file.

  UNIX command 'mount' shows the machinery once mounted via afp: in /Volumes

  (From old Mac - should be present)

  Rich@SeagateHomeDisk._afpovertcp._tcp.local./SeagateHomeDisk%20TM%20Backup on the Volumes/SeagateHomeDisk TM Backup (afpfs, nobrowse)

  (But on the new Mac - mounts like this)

  [email protected]/SeagateHomeDisk%20TM%20Backup on the Volumes/SeagateHomeDisk TM Backup (afpfs, nodev, nosuid, ridden by rickenne)

  To verify access to the backup file, I started the old Mac and accessed fine.

  Note that I try to not to have the two machine upwards at the same time.

  Should I clean server Seagate Keychain Access permissions for the file mounted correctly?

  How is the drive connected to the network?

• questions of failure/replacement of Time machine

  I have an old time machine that was failing and I'm going to buy a new drive. When I get the new drive:

  1. How do I format it?
  2. is there an advantage to making it be bootable?
  3. If so, how I would be bootable?
  4. is it possible to copy the contents of the current time machine disk to the new disk? The old time machine disk drive is 500 GB, and I don't have 500GB free on my disk system hae. Should I just unplug the old drive and I only connect if I can't find a file? In addition, 500 GB drives no longer seem to be available. The smallest drive available now is 1 TB.
  5. Is it possible that the failures of time machine, I had are with the time machine of tine software, not the drive? I'm under mountain lion. I don't want to update to OSX, because I do not know if all applications will break.
  6. the reason why I asked question 5 is that when the disc goes down, I disable the mac, disconnect/reconnect the time machine, turn on mac. It is possible that the mac start-up is enough, and I don't need to disconnect/reconnect the time machine. Thoughts here?

• How can I remove multiple backups of my Time Machine drive

  My time machine drive has reached the point where you have to delete an old backup before it completes a new backup.  Is it possible to delete several backups (e.g. all 2014 and 2015 ups 25%) since the Time Machine disk at the same time?  I know how to delete a backup but want to delete several at once.

  By removing the old back ups, remove the first one made or that it has the basic material on which TM all backups are built?

  MacBook Pro 2011

  El Capitan

  16 G RAM

  1 TB SSD drive.

  Time Machine drive is 2 TB.

  Thank you

  I came across exactly the same problem earlier this year. The best answer I found was here: thegreyblog.blogspot.com/2014/03/shrink-your-time-machine-backups-and.html in short, Time Machine, always create a full backup, not an incremental backup. So, no, you don't cause damage by removing one. I did it without adverse consequences. Second, use the tmutil command to delete old backups. sudo tumtil gives you the full list. I wrote a bash command line script, as the author points out. I deleted everything I had since last year, from the first backup performed in October, with:

  $ sudo tmutil listbackups

  Password:

  / Volumes/Seagate backup more Drive/Backups.backupdb/mkauffmanmbp/2016-01-01-003303

  / Volumes/Seagate backup more Drive/Backups.backupdb/mkauffmanmbp/2016-01-02-005714

  There was a lot more lines, what we are after here is the location to be used in the next line. In my case it has/Volumes/Seagate Backup more Drive/Backups.backupdb/mkauffmanmbp/ you need do the same thing, use it-before all the spaces in the path as shown below. Below, I've used 2015-1 * because the mine began in October 2015. I have therefore of 2015-10, 11 and 12. If you want to get rid of all 2015 you can use 2015-*. If you want to get rid of everything before October, you can use 2015-0 * which would remove 01,02,03,... 09 to 2015.

  $ sudo tmutil disable local

  (Here a line.)

  $ for i in/Volumes/Seagate\ Plus\ Backup\ Drive/Backups.backupdb/mkauffmanmbp/2015-1*; tmutil delete "$i"; fact

  $ sudo tmutil activate local

  I hope this helps!

  Happy new year!

• behavior strange time machine

  This is not a complaint.

  About once a week, I get a message that does not have a time machine backup.  I could solve the problem by rebooting the system.

  About 4 days ago I got a time backup failure message. I rebooted the system, but not 'Back Up Now'.  I thought that the time machine disk was gone and had to be replaced.

  Then, miraculously, time machine started working!  With the new backups in progress.

  Two sets of questions:

  1. is anyone else seen this happen?  If so, what ended up happening?

  2. any advice?  I've never used time machine to recover a version of a file that I've trashed, only to do a full system restore, after that I had a system failure.

  Thank you.

  1. no idea

  2. I would use disk utility > first aid to check your drive internal and also check the volume of time Machine.

  To retrieve a version a file just chose the file and go back in the timeline you need.
