How to set my time capsule from apple for my external hard drive backup?

I installed a Time Capsule from Apple on my network.  It seems to work very well.  I need to use it to back up my external drive (if possible)

Can someone give me directions?

Thank you

Jean S

If you use Time Machine, open the system preferences pane, click Options, and remove the external drive from the exclusion list. It is not possible for all formats of volume.

If you use a different backup product, see its documentation.

  • Can I use time capsule from Apple and an external hard drive that is connected to my Mac at the same time to save?

    I have an external hard drive (1 TB ADATA HV620) and a time capsule of Apple 2009. So far I have used the external drive-DATA to back up regularly on my Mac, but it uses one of my USB slots. I would like to start using the time capsule from Apple to everything back up, as it does so wireless, but I still want to be able to back up by using the ADATA hard drive occasionally. Is it possible to use two devices to back up or can I use only one device? Thank you.

    You can use the two devices, but Time Machine... If that's what you use to back up... can back up only to a disc at a time. So if you set up Time Machine to back up on both discs, it will support drive until one first, then the other after the first drive of the backup is complete.

  • To the help of two time Capsules, but a as a external hard drive only

    I just bought the new Time Capsule 2 TB "ac" and created a new network home wireless with it (TC is connected by Ethernet to the Modem/Router). I also use this TC to my Time Machine backup. Now, I would like to use my old Time Capsule ' don't (dish, 2012) as an external hard drive in my network in order to make manual backups of various data by drag-and - drop. I donnot want to expand my network wirelessly with the old TC. How can I include in my network just like an external hard drive?

    Very simple... Connect TC Old WAN LAN new TC... the old Installer TC mode bridge... and wireless off.

    He then worked as an external drive in the network.

  • Is there an alternative way looking for an external hard drive decision to Apple to remove external hard drive of 10.11 OS search?

    With previous versions of the OS 10, you can use Spotlight or Finder to search the content of your external hard drive.

    However, with OS 10.11 El Capitan, this feature has been removed (according to support tech Seagate, at least).

    In the Finder, I gives me the ability to click on my external hard drive in the upper left, just like in the screenshot of the Pinkstones.

    However, when I do the search he always brings back me to the main screen of the Finder and search only in my hard drive. No matter how many times I try never search my external hard drive as I told it to.

  • Error message "unable to copy the file"hiberfil", it is used by another person or program." Problem copying content from your PC to external hard drive.

    Original title: problem to copy content from your PC to external hard drive.

    I use Windows XP 2000 and am trying to restore my pc to factory settings as it is continuously 'stick '. When you try to copy my drive "c" on an external drive I get a message saying "unable to copy the file"hiberfil", it is used by another person or program." Close any program that might be using the file and try again "." What is 'hiberfil' and how do I close it down as I am not aware that I use?

    Concerning

    Pete

    The hiberfil.sys will be created every time that you start... If you put in hibernation enabled in your control panel, Power Options and the file is 'open' to think that you can actually choose to Hibernate at any given time.  When you Hibernate XP gives a note of it and will write a hiberfil.sys sometimes important in the c:\ folder so that when XP fires again upwards and returns from hibernation, XP will read the hiberfil.sys file and return to the situation that you were in when you put into hibernation.

    I use to be a chronic hibernant because it takes less time to return after hibernation as a cold start.  Sometimes, it can actually be slower that a cold so start your system based on the amount of RAM has.  The more RAM you have, the more your hiberfil.sys will, if sometimes it's faster to move with just a cold start if you Hibernate (26,03 seconds for me).

    If hiberfil.sys is giving you a hard time (you would not in any way copy it) disable hibernation in your Power Options and the file will be deleted immediately since it would be is no longer necessary.  That would solve this, but if you are trying to copy the entire C drive, you will have other files to complain after that.

    It is certainly possible to make a complete copy of the C drive, if you want, but you will have to initialize on something next to your drive hard if you want to do this so the XP files are not used - then you can copy anything and everything.  You can get some imaging software of disc that will also help you.

    It depends on what the problem is you want to solve and what you wand to end up with when you're done (so far, unspecified).

    I would work on figure our why your XP is paste and fix it in place.  XP should not be sticky.

    How can I make the best use of a new external hard drive and a new catalog full of photos just loaded into Photoshop elements 14 Organizer?

    Keep all the files on external hard drive image?  Nothing else and no pictures on the desktop?

    Once I've placed a file, I just leave it in the entire catalog or a way indicate to me that it has been sorted?

    As overwhelming, any tips/shortcuts/schemes, you can offer are welcome!

    As I only have the version of the EP, here is some info on the organiser:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/how-to/use-elements-Organizer.html

    Independent of how this feature works, you want to have your photos in one place and have a backup (second copy) somewhere else. All hard drives will not be successful at some point - some more early, some late - never trust to have your files in any safety devices if they are on a single disc. Once you have your sorted, it would be useful that you will organize/name/tag new photos immediately if the task is relatively short and simple. I copy my photos on my internal hard drive for my camera, take a quick look with preview to see who needs some changes and then decide where to put them - either drop them immediately after naming them or bring in an editing application and then file them away.

  • How to make a Time Capsule external hard drive backup

    Hi I just got a time capsule airport which I backed up on my iMac.  I have an external seagate HD plugged on my mac via USB.  I have a catalog photo large library and adobe lightroom on the external hard drive I use and change almost every day. These files are NOT stored on my computer because they take so much space that I would like to keep the separate external disk.  It was my hope to keep a backup on my time capsule on a regular basis with my backup of the iMac.  I have time machine configured to backup from my mac, and then under options, I have seen the drive seagate showing as excluded.  I removed excluded readers and click Save. However I don't think during backup that he actually saved these files because the capsule still shows as have plenty of available disk space.  When I opened the options again shows seagate always excluded.

    so question is can I save the iMac and the external hard drive at the same time?

    If this is not the case, what is the work around for this thing saved?

    thnx

    The Seagate disk should be in Mac Mac OS extended (journaled)format, also known as HFS +, if you want that Time Machine to back up your Mac.

    Do you know how the Seagate drive is formatted?  If it isn't... . Right click on on the icon of the Seagate drive which is mounted on the Mac desktop, and then click read the information. In the window that appears, look for the Format.

    What do you see when you check the Format?

  • How to set up the new HP laptop with the bad hard drive notebook

    Children a new Hp laptop in June.  The hard drive has been getting gradually stronger and is obviously about to go, with a blue error screen forcing a roll back of the computer.  I did a full backup on an external hard drive and I'm back for a replacement.  Should I make a recovery disk and reinstall from the disc when I get the new laptop, or should I just plug the external hard drive and transfer files via?  A guy at work said using the recovery disk is the way to go, because it would be to reinstall Norton and other programs, we have installed., but I thought that backup external hard drive was supposed to be the way to do this

    Because you have found a replacement of mobile complete, it will be installed on the 'old' came with.

    If you have installed a new programs, games etc_then Yes restore the Image would be the best way to get back it quickly. This would assume that the replacement is the same model or very similar from a Image Restore the drivers also which should match the material of the machine.
