  I have an IMac with time machine and time capsule. If I buy a large external hard drive can back up all my Lightroom Info but also everything else to go to time machine, & that it saves on hard drive new, after he made a backup to time capsule?  This way, I would have two backups.

  Hi marinersr,

  I'm not sure the backup machine capsule/time, but according to me, that it backs up all data on your hard drive.

  Yes, you can back up the Lightroom catalog on the hard disk external.

  You can set the time of the backup under the catalog settings > backup > he would invite to the backup, when you exit Lightroom > click on select next to the location and specify the location as your new hard drive.

  If you want images of both original backup, you can configure to create a second copy of the images on your external drive during import.

  Kind regards

• I'm trying to restore a backup of Time Capsule, but it is bigger than my hard drive. No idea how to do it?

  I did all my backups on TIme Capsule. My hard drive crashed while I replaced it. I am now trying to restore my latest backup, but the message I get is that my backup is bigger than my hard drive. Any solution for this?

  Thank you!

  Sorry, but you will not be able to fully restore from a Time Machine backup except if your Mac has a hard drive that is big enough to cope.

  If you can not install a larger hard drive in the Mac, then your only other option would be to use the Migration Wizard on a Mac and only fly over the Documents and other data... not the Applications and other system files.

  

• Flash DRIVE - through works of Time Capsule, but not directly to the Mac.

  What I want to achieve:

  -Access to the USB - stick when it is connected directly to the MBA with USB cable.

  The working configuration:

  -USB-drive ("coffee") connected to Time Capsule and used as an external hard drive to save the files (like huge-any libraries).

  Does not:

  -USB-player ("coffee") is directly connected to the MBA.

  Possible cause:

  -The drive is secured by a setting that I could have done on the Time Capsule and so only time Capsule can access.

  Solved!

  Well, then shame on me, but it all seemed to give my user rights to access the drive... I thought about it while searching for the settings on the possession of the car.

• Backup to Time Capsule and an external hard drive

  Hi all

  For several years, I use as a router Time Capsule and a backup device. Recently I found information about to associate an additional external hard drive for backup. For me it's a backup just to be sure when my Time Capsule would fail.

  I found information on the internet that it was easy to switch between the two devices. I connected the external hard drive in the time Capsule.

  But after installing the external hard drive my Time Capsule is not able to back up more!

  Please, could you help me find a solution. It would be great for me.

  Many thanks in advance,

  Diana

  I suggest that you get first back ups goes again on the Time Capsule, then we can discuss adding the USB key as a second backup source.

  For now, if please power off the power and unplug the USB of the time Capsule.

  (Gear on the dock icon)... open Mac system preferences, then open Time Machine

  Make sure that Time Machine is running

  Click Add or remove disks

  Under the backup drives, make sure that the Time Capsule disk (named 'Data', unless you have changed the name) appears

  If it isn't, then click data under available disks

  Then, click on disk use

  Close the window and now, click the 'clock' Time machine at the top of the screen

  Click on NTI Backup Now and who should get backups start on the Time Capsule

  After the return when you have confirmed that this is the case

• To transfer the old backups Time Machine from a hard disk external to the airport in Time Capsule

  Is it possible to transfer the old Time Machine backups from my external hard drive to Time Capsule airport?

  Having done this in the past, I can say that it is possilble... but is not anywhere near the amount of time and effort it will take to do this.

  Even when I was successful, Time Machine has started a new backup of the Mac... it has not added on the old existing backups, so I lost a good part of the backup on the Time Capsule space.

  This will be easier if you keep just on the hard drive for a few months... in case you need to go back and pick up a file... While the time Capsule built a new story backups tons.  After 3 to 6 months, you will not need the old backups, and you can erase the disc and use it as a spare part.

  If you want to try it anyway... see this article: http://pondini.org/TM/18.html

• First external USB disk backup from Time Machine and Time Capsule

  I have a new USB drive from 4 TB to use for backups Time Machine plugged on my almost full Time Capsule.  The Capsule is connected to my network using Ethernet, so it can be used to back up my MacBook Pro and iMac (via ethernet) (wireless).

  I would like to initial backups by directly plugging the USB directly on my iMac and my MacBook Pro.  I currently have the USB plugged into the Capsule of time connected to the ethernet. The initial backup for my iMac took 2 hours to make the 35GBs of 1.6TBs to back up so far.  So potentially 2 + days of initial backup...?

  There must be a quicker way.

  Box: to recover from my iMac support precedent (after a crash), which stood on a 3 TB USB2 drive plugged to the Capsule, it was estimated to take 36 hours.  I fly over the drive and plugged into the USB port on my iMac and the recovery only took about 8-10 hours, so it does not work for recovery.

  I tried to make the backup of the iMac by plugging the USB drive of 4 TB directly on the iMac. I then moved the dUSB Time Capsule drive, but he seemed to start when plugged into the TimeCapsule. If possible, I must have done something wrong in the order.

  It is extremely difficult to backup directly to the USB port and then move it to the TC because TM backup differently at local and network drives.

  People have figured out ways around it... but you think that it cannot simply... After saving 1.6 TB of data.

  Here see Q18.

  The fact is... It is not a reliable method.

  It's a little slow... is the gigabit connection and the wireless is turned off?

  What model is the TC?

  Your sidebar... is absolutely true... you can easily go elsewhere... because you can mount the sparsebundle to the computer.

• I can't access the backups on Time Capsule

  A month ago I deleted from my hard drive and more. I have a MacBook Pro 2012 running macOS. I can't access the files on Time Capsule before is erased in the month of August, I can see the story in the timeline panel, but I don't have access to anything before erasure. Is it possible to access to the files before the wipe?

  What hard drive you are talking about: one internal on your MacBook Pro (MBP), an external drive attached to the MBP for Time Machine backups, or internal hard drive to time Capsule?

• Encryption of the existing backups on Time Capsule

  I have old backups on my TC since 2009. I need them and I don't want to lose them. But I also want to encrypt and have access to all backups in Time Machine, because of private and confidential data. This procedure might work?

  • Open the Time Machine pane in system preferences.
  • Turn off time Machine then click on the button "Select Disk... ».
  • Remove your current backup disk.
  • Then, simply select the drive as your backup once more and check the option "Encrypt backups" and enter a password for the backup. Apple will now encrypt the entire disk backup - including your previous backups.
  • Finally, turn on Time Machine, and you're all set!

  Thank you!

  In theory, this will work.  In the practice, this work probably, but... and that's a very big BUT... it's going to take forever and a day to encrypt all the backups of the old man, which is something that the article forgot to mention.

  Even if you have your Mac connected to time Capsule using an Ethernet cable... it will take days and perhaps more than a week for the initial process to complete, depending on the amount of data you have on the Time Capsule.

  A lot can go wrong over the days and days of a backup, so if you decide to try this... Make sure you have at least a copy or an Archive... of all the data on the Time Capsule disk... before... .you start the encryption process.

  If you try to make a backup of backup MS in win7 so it won't work if it's the original... only pro or ultimate version... For some strange reason MS consider home version to do no need to work at network resources...

  I highly recommend the purchase of a... decent backup software which can backup to network drives.

  The starting point is you can create a directory on the TC drive and copy files to it?

  Don't worry about backups until you know that you have all permissions to copy files.

  Please note... recovering from a TC is going to be as hard as making backups.

  A PC on a NTFS formatted USB disk plugged directly into the PC for trouble free restore backup... If you plan to use storage-based network buy a good NAS... you use a TC and find yourself in trouble if you need it.

• Adding redundancy backup with time Capsules

  Are there problems associated with adding a second time Capsule to my system in order to add additional redundancy and safety of my backup options? I have a MacBook Pro and a single Capsule of 3 TB. I am looking for a non-Cloud option add extra security while maintaining the automation of the OSX TimeMachine.

  Adding a second Time Capsule works perfectly.  After that Time Machine performs a full backup of your Mac (s) on the new Time Capsule, it automatically alternates between two time Capsules backups.

  If you have the possibility of adding a USB or FireWire drive directly to your Mac, which would be a bit better set up in terms of reliability of time Machine, but probably not very convenient if you have a laptop that is moving all the time.

• Restore backup to Time Capsule

  I got my iMac reinstalled and at the same time, updated to OS X El Capitan.

  After connecting to the network and my time Machine, I tried to restore the last backup before reinstalling.

  I can connect to my Time Capsule via Time Machine, but trying to open the disk image following warning appears:

  Image: XXX iMac.sparsebundle

  Reason: Resource temporarily unavailable.

  I tried to restart both my iMac and my Time Capsule

  Thank you

  Henrik

  Connect the TC directly on the Mac in ethernet... disable wireless... There still need to be connected to the internet too long that the TC is configured as a router.

  Try again.

  You use migration assistant right?

• New backup on Time Capsule

  My Time Capsule was fortunately automatically back up since September 2013 using Time Machine and is full by far. However, Time Machine this week said that a new backup should be created. I created this, and after about 24 hours, the new backup is complete. Time Machine now says that the oldest backup is the one that has just finished. This isn't a problem and everything seems to be in order, but I was wondering if this had happened to someone else (and why is it) and there is something to fear?

  Thank you very much.

  Concerning

  Doug

  What you describe, it seems that you could see a message that looks like this:

  

  This message appears when your previous backups were corrupted and not enough to use stable. Utility of disc on your Mac has tried to repair the damage, but he couldn't, so the old files must be deleted and started a new backup.

  I hope that you will not see this message again, because the same thing will be happening everywhere if it appears.
