  • Time Machine - an exclusion different backup for the backup drives different time machine

    I hope someone can help me.

    For these past years, I used 2 Time Machine backups to keep all safe. I have 1 backup x who lives at home and is 3 times the size of my disk. I also have a second drive of laptop that I travel with, which is partitioned to give a little time machine backup, more than 1.5 TB of "overflow storage (for movies, video files, etc).

    Recently however, I realized that my "storage of listening" actually contains a large amount of data I wouldn't lose (especially the photos of my children because they were born), so now I want to save this drive as well.

    If my ideal situation is to have a huge drive I leave at home. This contains backups of the computer AND 'excess of storage' backup. It's pretty simple to implement.

    But can someone tell me if my trip backup, will try also to the other partition of the backup drive? And if so, is there anyway to give different time machine backups different exclusions.

    Hope that makes sense and hope that someone can help me.

    Thank you
    John

    You will need to manually change the exclusions when you going on a trip. There isn't a way to change automatically.

  • Backup failed with error 18: the backup drive is not found

    Hello

    My guard time capsule saying "Backup failed" for a few days and I cannot access the old backup files either (when I enter my time machine it shows 'today', which is kind of scary, although I know that my old files is still there). I tried many ways to trouble shoot this problem, but none of this has worked. In my opinion, it's more a network problem and I made sure I connect Wi - Fi even my time capsule created.

    So far I have tried:

    -Delete the files from my internet (com.apple.airport.preferences.plist; preferences.plist and NetworkInterfaces.plist, etc.) and restart my mac

    -Remove TimeMachine.plist and restart my mac

    -Hard reset of my time capsule. Went through all configurations with success but then still backup missed (I hear the running time capsule when it is by train).

    I share this time capsule with my wife and she has no problem with that.

    I can only think of a possible alternation I did which could cause this problem.

    Because of unstable WiFi problem, I had deleted

    com Apple.Airport.Preferences.plist

    com.Apple.Network.identification.plist

    NetworkInterfaces.plist

    Preferences.plist

    or other files and reboot my mac * before * I had this problem with time capsule.

    However, this is not the first time I do it, and it wasn't a problem before...

    This could be the reason? If so, how to restore the network settings?

    Please help me with this problem. Really appreciate!

  • Windows running in the backup drive D: after system reboot

    I rebooted my system yesterday and discovered that it had been done in the backup drive D which has only 1 g backup space. I can't do another reboot because there is no space in the drive.

    My question is: A) how to get the operating system to run on the main C drive

    (B) I'll be able to remove the old operating system to drive D

    Vista 32 bit

    Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you

    Delete older backups and free up space on the D drive.

    To remove old backup files, under the backup of data files, click View backups.

    You can then select the backups of files that you want to delete, which will free up disk space. Remove an entry in the list will not affect the other backups. If you think that you don't need one version of your files from a certain backup period, you can delete that backup. We recommend that you always keep the most recent backup.

  • System Restore error: "the changes to the G: drive after this point cannot be reversed, because the drive has been either excluded from monitoring system restore or has been disabled or deleted.»

    I had some problems with my computer recently I knew could be solved with the system restore.  Then I went into system restore and went to a restore point that was a few weeks back.  After I clicked on it and pressing the ok button, the following message appeared: "the changes made to the G: drive after this point cannot be reversed, because the drive has been either excluded from monitoring system restore or has been disabled or deleted.»  I let it continue and do the restore.  My computer has rebooted and came up with an error in system restore that says restore failed.  It's the same thing with other restore points.  I don't know why I get this error because I not made any changes to this hard drive except for copy of a document word on him.  I thought that the System Restore monitors removable disks.  Anyone know what is happening here and how I can get the restoration of the system to operate without the mistakes to come?

    I have Norton.  Disable the Tamper Protection works.  I also noticed that since the G: drive was a portable hard drive, System Restore wanted to exercise oversight.  He wants to monitor all hard drives.  Turn on external and portable hard disks prevents tracking system restore changes to the readers.  I don't think anyone would have the system restore review external drives anyway.  It is not necessary.

  • System crash when I install the bluetooth driver in windows 8.1

    HP Pavilion 15-e034tx

    When I install bluetooth driver in system failure windows 8.1 with this error "unhandled Thread Exception system.

    Bluetooth hardware ID: PCI\VEN_1814 & DEV_3298 & SUBSYS_18EC103C & REV_00

    Sir where is Bluetooth for Windows 8.1 driver?

    can someone help me please?

    Hello everyone I found the solution to this problem of Bluetooth. First of all, I want to share the essue of Blutooth hand in windows 8.1.

    History is actually a bit interesting: Microsoft has fixed a bug in the rollup of November which exposed a bug previously hidden in Bluetooth drivers for Ralink/Mediatek, resulting in all the world with a fully-updated Windows 8.1 and Ralink bluetooth (very common in low price/low-end systems) to BSoD unless the bumps users to a system restore point before updates of November. So yes, there are sometimes dangers for fixing bugs.

    Basic requirements:

    1. all drivers for HP laptop, BIOS and windows 8.1 implemented to date with the latest updates.

    File Requirements:

    1 8.1 Windows file update kb2917488 - x 64 (download link)

    http://www.4shared.com/RAR/CP-Ov9Hv/blutooth_update_fix.html

    2. Ralink software Bluetooth driver (windows 8 or 8.1 Windows)

    Basic steps:

    First check windows update, download and install any updates. Also download and install the latest driver for windows 8.1

    Download file update 8.1 for Windows kb2917488 - x 64 in 4shared link. (File name: Bluetooth fix)

    kb2917488 - x 64 Windows 8.1 updated in.cab(cabinet file) If you need to know how to install the .cab file installation.

    The .cab file installation steps

    Open the administrator command prompt and run the following command to install and integrate the Archives of Cabinet:

    Pkgmgr/ip/m:.cab / quiet

    Or,

    start/wait pkgmgr/ip/m:.cab / quiet

    Replace with the path (location) for the file .cab and with the file name of the cab without parentheses. If the CAB file is in the current directory (same directory where the command is executed, the path can be ignored.

    Example: pkgmgr /ip /m:C:\Users\User update fix\windows8.1-kb2917488-x64_43f3b89601d407a00cbf87297ab1ddb0ba1c4619.cab/quiet

    (If you do not understand the method of installing the .cab file search for it on google)

    This command silently install the Windows kb2917488 8.1 update file - x 64 in your system... complete installing the automatic system successfully reboots (wait automatic reboot)

    Now you can install your old windows 8 Ralink Driver Bluetooth software or update the latest driver with HP Support Assistant in windows 8.1.

    (Note: install all the drivers to run as Administration) (Sorry for the bad English)

    The download (or Install) window presented with percentage bar.

    It is same as the pilot of scanning and printing doctor;

    same window, "0% download" forever.

    Now, I'm totally at a loss. Have what wrong I done?  How can I make my printer work again or how do I know what is the problem?

    The driver is big enough, I would say save to disk, and then run the installation program.  You could do a right click on the link here, select "Save as", then download the file.  Depending on your internet speed, it make take some time downloading.  If it doesn't for you please specify exactly what is happening when you try to download the file, and any error messages see you.

  • How to disable the pop up "Windows Media Player cannot download the information on the media... "after the extraction of a CD without activation of network connectivity.

    When I copy a CD with Windows Media Player, I get the message pop up after the investigation period is over: "Windows Media Player cannot download the media for this CD information. The other titles, artist, and album will be identified as "Unknown" in your library. For best results, connect to the Internet or manually add media for CD information. »

    I know that the message appears when I turn on the setting to allow WMP to connect to the internet to get information about the media, but I don't want WMP does. What I want is a button I can push on the pop-up that says "don't show this message again" (similar to the warnings seen in internet explore). How can I disable this pop-up window without activating the internet connection option.

    In case you're wondering, the data from the internet are incompatible in the naming convention so when I rip an audio book, so I can listen to my mp3 player, I can't completely post-processing script because not all of the disks in a set have a coherent on the slopes or even name the disc etc. At least drives marked 'Unknown' is consistent and so easy to script for the reduction to a single MP3 file.

  • How to use the backup drives before restoring, I created to retrieve my personal files, etc.. ??

    I own a Compaq Presario CQ56 109WM Notebook PC that I recently ran System Recovery to restore it to the "State of Out-Of-Box", due to a virus or accident or something that wouldn't allow the computer to start Windows. Beforehand, I backed up my personal files, photos, music, preferences, etc. on a set of 5 DVD + R discs. Now, the computer seems to work very well, to my knowledge, but I have no idea how to do for use these drives. When I finally managed to read in my disc drive, I found an .exe file on the first disk for the Recovery Manager, which of course, I opened, and he was supposed to create a folder on my desktop and open all my stuff. However, while the first disk that I received as a message error that says "Recovery Manager cannot restore the file 10.wim. Do you want to continue? "I clicked Yes, and he gave me the same message for files 11 - 19.wim, 2.wim and 20 - 27.wim. I have no idea what it all means. Also once it was done, I have a folder on my desktop, which has 3 other folders inside and inside of those is a ton of other crazy records and files, which I'm sure that my stuff is in PLACE, but the question is, HOW DO I ACCESS AND RESTORE IT ALL to WHERE AND HOW IT WAS? LOL PLEASE HELP!

    HP Backup backup many files that are unnecessary, most of your personal files should be in a folder with your old username in the "Users" folder This backup application is also known for being a pain.

    As to why you got the error, that looks like all the files have been extracted, it could be a defective DVD, something caused a bad DVD writing, etc..

    If you do not see a "Users" folder, I have probably start deleting the folder created on the desktop and make a new desktop or in My Documents. Then, copy the files of each DVD to this new folder. As soon as the record test running the. EXE file again to see if any better results.

    Another suggestion-go in Control Panel, Options files and check to be sure "Hidden files" appear.

    If all else fails, install 7Zip and trying to extract the. WIM files.
