How to check my backup drive?

I'm used to be able to check my backup of disk utility disk. I now use El Capitan 10.11.1 on an iMac and can't find this option. When I try to run first aid on the backup drive, she fails. Can someone tell me how to check the disk please, thank you

Not how? are you clicking on the partition when you run first aid?

FWIW, first aid is equivalent to check and repair disk.

  • 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.

  • I used my iMac as a hard drive backup to my macbook once. Now when I update to El Capitan he says that it cannot be updated due to being of a backup. How do I change the drive mode so I can update?

    I used my iMac as a hard drive backup to my macbook once. Now when I update to El Capitan he says that it cannot be updated due to being of a backup. How do I change the drive mode so I can update?

    If you use your iMac as a backup to disk using Time Machine look for a folder called Backups.backupdb.

    It's what keeps you upgraded your operating system, you must remove it.

    Copy everything first if you are on a different drive. It would be wise to create a backup of the iMac on another drive also.

    Check system preferences > Time Machine and make sure that the iMac is not selected as the Time Machine drive.

  • How can I check my backup burned restore disc filled properly or does not?

    How can I check my backup burned restore disc filled properly or does not? He ran for 12 hours. My info is about 117 GB. He did not say, he just says no longer copy of backup disk in the process. I think 12 hours is a long time without a full review. When my hard drive failed after six months, my copy, I did not restore anything. More many times I tried to make a record to get an error just before the end. I want to be on the safe side. I don't have an installation disc since I bought this laptop pre-programmed Walmart. It is Vista Basic, so I'm out of luck if I have to redo the system and programs.

  • How can I be sure that all the pictures selected for export (all 1600) have been exported to my backup drive (before I remove them on the Mac)

    I want to be sure that all of my 1600 + photos and movies were actually exported to the Seagate backup drive that I installed on my MacbookAir. How can I know it?

    If they have been exported to a single file on the EHD?  And if you have exported them should have exported them as "Original unmodified" in order to get the original video files and not a jpeg thumbnail.

    The best solution, if the Seagate HD is formatted for OS X Extended (journaled) is to save the photo library so that you keep both both original and edited, all projects and metadata (keywords, titles, faces, places, etc.).

  • How can I reset Windows Media Player to use songs on my external backup drive instead or in addition to the songs on my desktop with Windows Vista Edition basic hard drive family?

    How can I reset the Player Windows Media in Windows Vista Home Basic to use the songs on my external backup drive instead of (or in addition to) the songs on my desktop hard drive?  Currently, the Media Player library indicates that the hard drive (C:\) is my only option of disks to use for sources of songs.

    Basically, I want to have Media Player external drive for all the songs from research and build his library on this disc instead of on the C:\ drive.
    My problem is that the songs are hogging too much space on my hard drive, so I want to move to my external drive to backup instead, but Media Player will not access it.  I saw an option in Media Player to add a song to a different drive to the library whenever I play a song of this player, but that would require me to play all the songs moved one at a time, which is not practical, and which would not solve my problem because Media Player could still be maintaining the library on my HDD to say.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    Please be aware that the second part of your hard drive backup is
    far the lowest form of backup exists. It is only very
    slightly better than no backup at all, because it let you
    sensitive to the simultaneous loss of the original and the backup on many of
    the most common dangers: drive failure, head goes down, severe feeding
    glitches, near lightning, virus attacks, same flight of the
    computer.

    In my view, secure backup must be on a unguarded and removable media
    in the computer. For backup really secure (required, for example, if the)
    the life of your company depends on your data), you should have several
    generations of backup and at least one of these generations must be
    stored off-site.
