Full Time capsule not deleting files

I have my MacPro & iMac saved to Time Machine. It works very well to find a lost file.

BUT, when HD 2 TB recently completed, he ceased to backup and I had to wipe the HD & start over.

I thought that Time Machine would sequentially remove oldest files, once that it filled to the top.

I have check the disk (Option - Menu TM) & it checked OK

Is there a setting that I missed?

Thanks for the tips!

Time Machine has no problem deleting old incremental files to make room for the new files in incremental backups.  The keyword here is 'extra', which are small files that take up very little space.

But... and this is a big BUT... If the Time Capsule disk is full, and you try to save a large amount of data that normal... What can happen if you have recently updated the operating system on your Mac, or added large files from media or other types of files for the beams of Mac... then Time Machine, because it can not remove enough files to make room for the new more normal backup.

In this case, you have a few options:

(1) add an another Time Capsule and start new backups to go

(2) add a USB key to the current time Capsule and start new backups to go

(3) clear the Time Capsule disk and start over again with new backups

If you don't mind clear on the Time Capsule backup history and start all over again, it is of course the most economical way to continue. If you want to keep your old backups intact, then go with option 1 or 2.

  • Time machine is full and do not delete files

    My time machine has not saved the files for about 2 weeks.  It says it is full, but I can't delete older backups, even manually.  I emptied the Recycle Bin and rebooted, but nothing has changed.  I have a drive hard capacity 3T dedicated to backup, it must have plenty of room.  Any suggestions?

    About alert TM "Backup Drive is full"

    TM only deletes older files if they have been removed from the source and when TM needs space on the backup to a new incremental backup drive. Time Machine "Jules Destrooper" its backups. over 24 hours, old backups, except the first of the day; These "dailies", old more 30-day backups, except the first day of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there is room.

    So, how long a backup rest file depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming that you do at least one backup per day. If she was there for less than 24 hours, it will be maintained for at least a month. If she was there at least a week, it will be maintained as long as there is room.

    Note that, on a Time Capsule, the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but not descended. View of the user of the TC so it seems that no space was released, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.

    Once TM has found that it cannot free enough space for new backup it reports the disk is full. You can erase the backup disk and start your backup or replace the disc with a larger drive.

  • Add new Mac full time Capsule (delete old backups)

    So I have an old time Capsule (mini mac in the form). It is almost full. It backs up all three machines. We just be removed and replaced with a new one.

    The new machine will have to be added, but the TC is too full.

    I'm happy to delete the backups from the machine, it has replaced, however the machine is no longer on the network and does not remove its own backups.

    I can't delete the full backup set and leave all three machines.

    How can I delete just the backups of the machine which is now out of the network? SSH? tmutil on one of the machines still present?

    You can access a backup from another machine and work with it. The answer is here: visit Time Machine FAQ of Pondini helps with Time Machine. It is a vast site with almost everything that you need for using Time Machine. You will not find a better resource for Time Machine in one place. Due to the disappearance of James Pondini, the site is is no longer updated. Therefore, some information may be somewhat outdated.

  • 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.

  • Full time Capsule

    TIme Capsule 2 TB is almost full and doesen't work properly.

    Is there a way to reset?

    Not sure what you mean by "reset" here.

    When the Capsule is full and cannot continue the backups, you have 3 options to base... in order of most expensive on toward the bottom.

    (1) add an another Time Capsule and start backups to go.

    (2) add a USB key to the Time Capsule, copy the backups on the Time Capsule on the USB key, then erase the time Capsule and start new backups.

    (3) clear the Time Capsule disk and start over. Of course, the disadvantage of this method is that you lose your old backups.

    Alternatively, "reset" means something else. If so, please provide details.

  • Can't find Time Capsule/not available

    Greetings,

    I've had my Time Capsule a few years. A few days ago, I noticed my Mac was market back is no longer. The TC does not appear in the Finder or AP Utility (I have to go "Set up another" connect at all). I tried to reset it, but it worked correctly for a few hours.

    Any help?

    The are many post related to this here to the communities to Support Apple (CSA)

    A 'solution' refers to those who have set up their base stations for Back to My Mac. If you did, how to follow recommended action is temporarily remove or disable this option, as follows:

    • Run the AirPort Utility.
    • Select the base and then station, select change.
      • Note: You may need to use the option "configure others...". "to access the base station. Enter the IP address of the base station, the default value is: 10.0.1.1 and base station administrator password when you are prompted.
    • On the tab of the Base Station, go back to the section of my Mac at the bottom of the window.
    • If you have entries here, select it and click then the minus sign "-" button to remove it.
    • Click on update and allow the base station restart.

  • Time Capsule not recognized after the replaced logic board.

    Time capsule is not recognized

    I too am in the same "boat" as 'bruf' and 'Pitbullover' my Mac Book Pro had a card failure logic as well as graphics - warranty - replaced but now the MBP does not recognize Time Capsule.  Directly linked to the time via an adapter for MBP port capsule.  It was working OK before the Mac went to repair.

    I followed the great suggestions of LaPastenague (thanks for all the time and expertise you provide other users of Apple).  Tried the factory reset button, but no result. (By the way there is always a flashing amber light on the TC - is this usual?)

    Checked the Finder - showed the distance disc - but no mention of a time Capsule.

    The TC is never used as a return to the top.  I gave up trying to use it as a router, so there may be some vestige of the conflict still in the installation somewhere.

    I will follow this thread with interest in the hope that the wonderful 'gurus' out there can suggest a solution.

    With satisfaction!

    Even if it is not used as a router, it is usually easier to him have plugged into your router main and fulfilled.

    What model is the TC?

    This modem do you have? Brand and model please.

    It could also be a USB wireless... but probably not.

  • Airport Time capsule not found

    My time capsule is not backup using time machine. My computer can't find it. Here is the message I get when I try to manually back up:

    The backup drive is not available. Make sure that the backup disk is connected, or select a different backup disk.

    I unplugged the capsule of time and still nothing. I have however reset my wifi last week and this is maybe the reason why I lost the connection? Do I have to reset my capsule? PS. the light on the time capsule is green so its supposed to work properly.

    Ive also tried to manually connect to my backup drive and nothing.

    Can I reset my capsule? What are the consequences of this?

    Thanks for your help.

    Turn off your Mac and your Time Capsule

    Wait a few seconds, then put back them up again and wait a few minutes

    If you open AirPort Utility on your Mac... (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility)... appear to time Capsule?

    Time Capsule appears there under the shared position on the left side of a Finder window Panel?

    There is more to do... but these things have to work before you can move forward.

  • Rsync backup does not delete files on the target

    Hello

    I have a disc on a Windows Server 2012 machine running DeltaCopy.

    I have a RN312 on OS 6.4.2 with a configured rsync backup to save the action (which is the root of the drive) to the local NAS.

    I then go into the settings - Advanced - tab and tick the "remove files deleted on the target."

    I also add ' / $RECYCLE. BIN' and ' / System Volume Information "as being excluded.

    The first is fine - there are a few errors but they are due to the System Volume Information I think that - even if its exclusion.

    But if I can delete a file on the source (the server) and run it again the file are not deleted on the target (SIN).

    Any suggestions?

  • File/FTP adapter does not delete file

    Hello world.

    I recently got throwing a RollBack fault responded, but now have encountered another problem.

    My FTP adapter starts the process when it detects a specific file. When I throw the fault of restoration it not only cancels the transaction of DB, but the entire transaction of this instance so that the file is never deleted. Now the question is that, given that the file is still in the directory of the FTP adapter will try to pick it up on the next polling cycle, and of course, it will fail again. Is it possible to have the FTP/File adapter always delete the file, even if the transaction is rolled back?

    The file was deleted not because the polling stations for the file and insert it in the DB process were all in a single transaction BPEL. So the fault of RollBack prevented the file being deleted. To solve my problem, I placed the DB insertion process in other BPEL and threw the fault of restoration and BPEL with what has been proposed in launch a RollBack vulnerability.
