error - 36 on Time Machine backup

Help! I went on vacation for a week of my iMac running that yosemite was working fine when I left him. I left it turned on on my back, he had frozen, and disk utility showed that the player needed repair but it was irreparable. So I started from a system disk and deleted from my drive, hoping to restore from my Time Machine backup which was connected all the time. (I also have a Clone of Carbon Copy backup). But the Time machine backup restores, showing me "error-36". I'm quite familiar with the operations of Terminal "dot_clean", but when I try it tells me that the command is unknown. And, of course, the problem is with the Time Machine backup, not with my hard drive. is it possible to repair the Time Machine backup in my situation? I can't restore my backup CCC because my iMac can't see, had no installed system. I'm about to try to completely install the original Snow Leopard system from the boot disk and then either try to restore from time Machine, or migrate it again.

Can anyone offer advice please?

  • Cannot delete the Time Machine backups

    I have a MacBook Air and a 128 GB USB key that holds my library of photos, so I always make backups. My system - and I have recently made account how flawed it was - was to create backups on a 500 GB HARD drive, but to transfer them to a 2 TB HARD drive when it is full. So, I finally discovered that when I transfer backups in small quantities to the 2 TB, it takes more space because instead of aliases of files used to represent more recent backups, care of file just copied over and over again. For this reason, I put my 2 TB as a feature of time machine and imported all the old backups in the folder backups.db, that my Mac 'cleaned' and registered 135 GB. But 135 GB is not enough, I went and delete backups that I don't have anymore. When I looked in the trash to empty, I've seen 2 things: backups I have trashed and others who are pale sort out. I can't open the files, even if I right click and select "open in a new tab. When I try to "immediately remove" these paled-out files, I always get a message that they are "on duty." It is about 300 GB, so I must get rid of him. But it does not stop there, because when I try to "delete immediately" backups I had trashed myself, I get an error message! It is a total of about 600 GB, what I absolutely need to get rid of! If anyone has some tips, it will be greatly appeciated.

    You have probably sprayed your Time Machine backup database. The best thing to do is erase the disc with Airport utility. Then start again with a new backup.

  • Time Machine backup migration wizard

    Hello

    I have a MBP (2012 model) running OSX 10.11.6. The hard drive has encountered an error that I couldn't get (invalid node structure). After spending the better part of a day of troubleshooting, I finally erased the drive and reinstall the OS from the OSX Internet Recovery Mode option. After that I reinstalled OSX version accompanying (Mavericks), I was going to transfer all my files from my USB external time Machine drive. I checked using the Migration Wizard, and I had the opportunity to transfer any of the player. Instead, I thought I'd be better to first upgrade to el capitan (it was on 10.11.6 when it stopped working) and install the programs I use (MS Office) before the transfer, so I went through this process. Now when I try to restore the files using Migration Assistant in el Capitan, he can't seem to find the USB Time Machine backup drive - it retains just turn on "the search for Source...". "on the transfer to this Mac screen information. If I leave the Migration Wizard, the USB key is accessible in the Finder. Don't know what to do at this point, but I really need these files (years of family photos are my biggest concern about losing).

    Thank you

    Mike Camden

    OK - I've solved it. For some reason, it wouldn't find the backup disk, Time Machine in the Migration Wizard, when I plugged directly on the port of USB of MBP (although he appeared and is accessible from the Finder); However, on a whim, I plugged into the USB port on my Airport Extreme, connected my MBP to it as a shared resource on the network and is running Migration Wizard again. Migration assistant immediately found and was able to make the Time Machine restore - it took much longer overall than network he would like a USB drive, but I let it run all night, and everything was finished this morning.

  • 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.

  • Two MacBooks, 10.11.4, a fast Time Machine backup and a very slow

    In our office at home, connected to a Gigabit ethernet on the same switch network, we have two MacBooks.  One is a 2011 MBP with a 1 TB SSD (third party), and is an MBA in 2015 with a 512 GB SSD (Apple).  A Linux server on the same network running Netatalk 3 providing the backup network drives, one for each laptop. The two TImeMachine network drives are on the same physical server drive.  Two laptops running 10.11.4 and darn are configured almost identically.  Neither laptop has no trouble finding the network backup drives, and they begin to run backups without problem.

    The old MBP was a workaholic and functioning flawlessly for years, including the fast and regular Time Machine backups. File unique restorations are done with some regularity, and they always worked (I don't think that once done, we use a complete restore of the system from scratch, and it worked).

    The new MBA, in contrast, had endless questions from and complementing the backups.  Last night, for example, I decided to simply reformat the drive on the server where there is a material error affecting the MBA (I ran Linux fsck to check the file system before you wipe it off and he's found no errors) and resumed full backups on two laptops.  The MBP has about 600 GB for the first backup, and complete the backup in about 5 hours.

    MBA, with about 350 Go back up, was still underway this morning and had less than half the backup is finished. In the console log, he showed he was backing about 5 GB/hour.  Not only that, but the incremental backups took a lot of hours (more than overnight), making it impossible to never complete because it must be packed and taken to work at some point in the morning.  I.e. backups are all simple broken on this MBA.

    The MBA connects to the network with a third USB3 (Anker) hub that has a Gigabit Ethernet port on this subject.  I downloaded iperf for Mac and Linux server and found that this is right about 900 Mbps throughput, so I expect an optimal bandwidth is achieved in this regard.

    Any ideas what might be happening here?  Diagnosis between the two to see what could be such a radical difference? Tried to change taps the network wiring/switch problems, without change. Reset, no change.

    We have two other Macs also running backups in this way, under 10.11.4,, and they were also without problem. Also is it just that an MBA, the most recent of the bunch, problems.

    A third-party file server 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 developer 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 problems that result is for the developer (who will blame Apple, neither you nor anyone else but herself.)

  • Time Machine backup keeps causing MBP restart

    Hi all

    I'm a DJ and just more than one year, I bought a brand new series of mid-2012 13-inch Macbook Pro (non-retine) with an i5 2.5 Ghz processor.
    I installed a 750 7200 RPM HARD drive and max had the RAM to 16 GB with memory mac 'official' of CanComputers. I only use this machine for DJing. I have all my music in two folders on the desktop, I have 2-3 music applications and she. 10.9.5 running and I'm doing time machine backups every month.

    This month, my time machine was told the drive was corrupted and that I was able to read (it was a 500 GB Lacie Rugged). OK: I had another drive, a 1 TB USB3.0 Toshiba Ext HDD. 4 GB in the new backup, laptop computer suddenly shutdown, reboot and I get the message that the computer turns off due to a problem. I looked in the logs and nothing in particular stood out.

    I tried excluding my office of the backup and it worked - it supported a set of 3 GB. Then I added a little music on the desktop and excluded other files, and it has not yet. The entire backup is estimated to be about 450GB.

    I don't have time to play the files on this computer. Someone please tell me what I can do to solve this problem, or at least what is causing the problem. In the meantime, does anyone have an effective solution for the backup of these files?

    Thank you

  • Time Machine backups fail

    I have a Time Capsule 2 TB 4th generation bracket place my 2013 21.5 in iMac running OS 10.11.3. For the two weeks have been a failure my time machine backups. A few nights ago, I was given the opportunity to create a new backup, which I tried to do. However, the new back-up has never been created - says still 'wait to first full backup"status on the menu bar. I am able to access the files on the Time Capsule that aren't in a backup file Time Machine and use Time Capsule as a router. When I enter the Time Machine on the iMac, it appears as if it has never been a comeback upward (which, of course, I guess). I tried to use the repair disk utility - I had to run on the Time Capsule, but it did not help.

    Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

    Looks like you receive a message that a few nights under what looked like this:

    It is probably the most frightening message that you never see when you use Time Machine, because it shows that your backups were corrupt. Time Machine will try to erase, and then create a new backup.  Unfortunately, sometimes Time Machine fails when it tries to do.

    The best thing you can do right now is to perform a deletion process of resetting the data on the Time Capsule disk to completely erase the disk for errors and try again another backup.  If you decide to try this, you must copy all other files you might have on the time Capsule to another disk for temporary storage... unless you already have other copies (you should, otherwise, you have no backups for files on the Time Capsule).

    Perform the zero... erase data, which will be probably 3-5 hours or so... should improve your chances of a good Time Machine backup when you restart the process... IF... the last problems were the result of software on the Time Capsule disk errors.

    IF... the time Capsule hard drive is physically damaged... which is a possibility... you need to replace the disk in the time Capsule hope forward again.

  • 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."

    It started when I updated to El Capitan.  My original backup has been corrupted.  I reformatted the drive and now I am at this point.

    In the upper right corner of the Console window, there is a search box to filter. Enter the 'Start-up' (without the quotes). You should now see messages in the log with the words "departure * backup," where * represents one of the words "automatic", "manual" or "standard".

    Each message in the journal begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the time stamp of the last 'Start' message that matches the start of a normal backup. Now

    DELETE THE WORD 'Start' TO THE TEXT BOX

    so that all messages are showing and highlight the newspaper at the same time, you noted. Select the time-stamped messages since then until the end of the backup or the end of the log if it is not clear. Copy to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command + V.
