• Drive external drive to backup to time capsule

  I use my Time Capsule to back up my computer automatically, but I would also like to use as a backup to my external hard drive. How can I implement that? I tried dragging the files into the Capsule of time on the Finder and it does not allow me to do.

  Thanks in advance for the help!

  Any drive connected to your Mac can be included in the backup Time Machine.

  Go to the preferences of TM and remove the exclusion of an external drive... which will add to the backup.

  Alternatives are also good.

  I highly recommend to use Carbon Copy Cloner... which is $ 40

  You can copy and paste the files, but it is better to first create a folder on the TC.

  Don't drag the files in the root directory.

  Drag the files into the sparsebundle TM.

  Make sure you that you get TC drive in finder yourself... otherwise you ruin the backup TM.

  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.

• 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

• Disk error non system at boot when using the external USB disk

  Hello

  I use Windows 7 Pro.  I have a Seagate external USB disk causing a "Non-system disk error" at startup.
  I had the same problem with a Clickfree drive.
  The problem occurs on my other PC with different versions of Windows.
  How can I get my computer to start and not give me this error message for my backup drive?
  At startup (when the drive disconnected), I get a screen of BACK indicating "Client Mac Addr."... GUID..., DHCP. "I think it's looking for a disk boot from.
  I just need to boot from the internal hard drive.
  Thank you
  AS

  USB external references aren't desingned to be connected on startup, you must also use the safely remove the procedure and disconnect the USB key before closing.

  If you get such a screen "Client Mac Addr... etc" at the start (with usb unplugged), looks like you are using a very old motherboard. If the system starts only with connected usb, then your initial installation of victory is defective or damaged

  My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.

  Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

  The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

  Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

  You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

  By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

  Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

• External USB hard drives lose its connection and work stoppages. __

  External USB hard drives lose its connection and work stoppages.

  History

   
  Windows 7 Ultimate - 64-bit
  I installed it on a HP Pavilion, OS, 64-bit, and I have this problem.
  People report that it does not occur with Windows 7 32 bit OS.

  Problem:
  Any brand of external hard drive USB (and other USB devices sometimes) lose its connection and stops working only when copying large files internal drive to external USB drives.
  The USB device may appear to work properly when Windows first starts, but later stops working (crashes computer) after the start of large files to copy. You must restart Windows for the USB is working again.
  This only occurs when you copy files large files to THE USB port, not on the internal drive. It happened when I synicing my IPhone with Itunes when it started the synchronization of music files.

  According to the suggestions I have:
  1) updated the BIOS from the websites of the manufacturers.
  (2) power management disabled on the USB hub for disks
  (3) ensure that the BIOS for Legacy USB is set to.  I don't have this option in the BIOS settings.
  (4) this is not a motherboard problem, it is located on three different MB that we use.
  Also tried three different USB drives and different cables.

  Because I tested with two different computers updated and USB drives, our opinion is that this problem indicates that the Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

  Someone knows a solution?

  Hi Jh6284,

• 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.

  

• can I use an external hard drive LaCie Raid time capsule?

  I am trying to hang a LaCie Raid to my Time Capsule for additional storage. I don't see the LaCie. Thanks in advance for the help.

  Support Apple mentions that you can plug a simple USB to the port on the router from the airport, or several readers if you use a powered USB hub.  There is no mention of Raid type disk, which I interpret as meaning that the RAID is not supported by the firmware on the USB port on the airport.

  Uses for the USB port of Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express - Support Apple Airport

  From my experience, the Raid type drives are not recognized by the USB port on the Time Capsule or AirPort Extreme.

  Even if the RAID drive was recognized, probably would NOT ever want to connect a RAID stack on the port.

  The reason is that the port is USB 2.0 only... and due to the limitations of the processor in the airport router, the port runs at half the speed of a USB 2.0 on a computer. Thus, it would be incredibly slow with this type of installation.

  How often should macbook pro backup to time capsule?

  Time Machine has a 1 fixed time between backups... I wouldn't change it... the design of the system works better if left to default values.

• 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

• corrupted backup iPhone: you can restore old backup from Time Machine?

  Hello

  I recently had my iPhone 6 (last iOS 9.2) stolen and when I bought my new 6 iPhone updated to iOS 9.3.1 and it synchronized, he said that the March 21 backup was corrupt or incompatible.

  Leaving aside Why is it (except if in your knowledge, it has an effect), I was wondering is it possible to go into the Time Machine and find the last iPhone backup (hopefully not corrupt or incompatible) and then use it when you synchronize and put up my new phone?

  So in this case I would lose a week / a month value of the data over the year or so for my backup previously listed on my iTunes currently.

  More important still, I need to get my SMS and notes.

  For now, my contacts seem to have all come finer.

  A big thank you for any help you can provide.

  See you soon

  You should be able to do. Follow the instructions here to find and restore the backup on your hard drive.

• Restore from Time capsule, but new files on the target machine, won't be wiped out

  I'm trying to move files between two MacBook, however, I have been using the new MacBook for a while (like a year) and a lot of files/images/person of the most recent data on it (dataset B for example).

  So I recently did a full backup on my older MacBook (say A Dataset).  I wonder if I do a "restore" time capsule backup (data set A) against my new MacBook, the new dataset would B be destroyed?

  My desired outcome is to have the dataset A + B all in my new MacBook.

  DataSet B backup, restoration of A DataSet, then restore DataSetB.

  Please, do not restore OS X from A DataSet.

• Migration of data from Time Capsule for external hard drive

  On previous posts, I received advice to use a single TC to buy a new one, with the intention to use them both as backups Time Machine for three different Mac. So right now, I have a 5th generation unique Time Capsule of my network that serves as a backup for three Macs drive. The older TC is still connected, but only until he ends the disc, which transfers to a 3 TB Western Digital My Passport Ultra HD, connected directly to the TC via USB to archiving.

  The old TC is filled up to 1.99 TB, and I imagine that it would take a long period of time to archive and copy all of this info, but the process is already underway for more than 24 hours, and it always shows 1 day 0:31:59 is this normal? Do I have to cancel and try another method?

  Shared experiences or advice will be appreciated.

  See you soon!

  BTW, I don't like the new layout of this post!

  Unfortunately, these can take a long time. I suggest that you let it run for at least 24 hours and then see where is the check-in process. So again, it doesn't show much progress later, let know us and we can provide you with possible options.

• Problem with the MK6021GAS as external USB disk

  Hello

  I have a laptop that has a built-in drive HARD Toshiba MK6021GAS.
  I found the disk too slow, so I bought a Hitachi travelstar 7200 RPM to replace. That worked without problem.

  But now I want to use the Toshiba HDD USB external drive. But it does not work. On most computers, I get Windows detect the device but then say "an error occurred during the installation of the device" and a few other times, the device is installed as "unknown device".

  The thing is the usb box works perfectly well with all the other readers, I tested (consuming more than my Toshiba) and the HARD drive works fine if I put it inside my laptop again. I tried to Master and selection of cable, same error.
  I tried several computers (so many configs), several catches USB, tried to add external power source... I still get the same error.

  My 2 "5 USB box is"Mobile Disk "... Well well... noname.

  What can I do?
