How to take account of the difference in the size of the mobile backup folder?

Hello

Recently, I noticed that my backups take a large part of my hard drive.  (See the screenshot below).

I then ran this command in a Terminal, I don't understand, but found online: sudo-chxd 1.  When I did, I got these results:

Looks like my mobile account of backups for 241G of the above backups 257 G!  But, when I use the Terminal to show hidden files in Finder, and then navigate to the. File MobileBackups, then request for information for this folder, I see this:

So, my questions are:

  1. Why Finder that thinks. MobileBackups is only 8.37 G, while the Terminal thinks it's over 200 G?  Is how important it that I have multiple user accounts on the computer?  (Seems to be too far in the hierarchy of files for that matter).
  2. Even if. MobileBackups is really more than 241G, which represents another 16 g of backups that shows the system information window?

Thank you!  I am new to this, any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.

When Time Machine backs up a Mac laptop, some free space will be used to make a snapshots the, who are backups of deleted files recently. The space occupied by the local snapshots is declared as available by the Finder and should be considered as such. In the view of storage of the information system, snapshots appear them as backups. The snapshots are deleted automatically when they expire or when free space becomes less than a certain level. You don't need to usually and should not, remove snapshots them yourself. The Finder cannot properly report the size of snapshots.

  • DVD how much we need for the files backup with backup and restore program?

    Hello how are you?
    DVD how much we need for the files backup with backup and restore program? Y at - it large differences in the time and space between write backups on DVD and external hard drive?

    I do not understand your question.  Asked how the space has been used on your C: drive and you answered 60 GB.  Now you say your PARTITION C: is 60 GB with only 20 GB used?  I really don't understand what you're so confused.  It's simple arithmetic grade 3rd.  What is space you USED on the C: drive, that multiply by 0.7 to obtain the amount of space will be used on your backup disk after compression.  Divide this number by 4.7 and round.  That's how many DVDs you'll need if you insist on the use of DVDs for backup.  Then

    (1) If you are using 60 GB, the answer is (60 x.7) / 4.7 = 8.936.  I rounded up to 9 and added 1 just to be sure.

    (2) If you use only 20 GB, the answer is (20 x.7) / 4.7 = 2.97 rounded up to 3.  Add 1 and get 4.

    If you use only 20 GB, I am very surprised, because almost any important installation of Windows 7 is going to take more than 20 GB.

    All of this assumes that you do NOT use the Windows backup and restore program, but one that I recommended.  When I used the windows one, the results were several times the space that I used on my C: partition.

    Good luck.

  • Move the Mobile Applications folder

    Running iTunes 12 on El Captain on my iMac with a 256 GB SSD and 2 TB HD.  The SSD (my drive home) fills, and I move as much as I can on the HD (data files, that is, no apps) or core files.  I moved my iTunes music library, but I'm struggling to see how I can move the Mobile Applications folder (now up to 10 GB) on.  The question was asked before and answer, although in 2009/10.  The option to hold the SHIFT key when you start iTunes is no longer seems to result in a request for the .itl file.  After you have moved the whole iTunes folder, everything that happened was that a new was created instead of the old - my music was OK but my iOS apps were not found.

    I have no problem if iTunes must keep records of library on the drive home, even if I spend all the rest (media, apps and work) if possible (and relatively simple).  Any ideas?

    You can move all of these applications in a folder, don't talk about mobile applications for guard duty. Even if you redid your iMac, you can create a folder with the Media Kit located in the iTunes folder once you launch iTunes for the first time. You will need to use the function 'add to library' to get the iTunes to recognize these apps. I've never tried "add to library" with the folder of mobile applications that is not located in the Media folder in the iTunes folder. But you can try as a test.

  • You can change the location of the automatic backup folder after creating a project on the first CC 2015?

    Trying to figure out from there is a way to change the location of the automatic backup folder after a project has already been created and the location of the automatic backup has been chosen. The reason for this is because we have an active work with a project that has been meet with an "unknown error" while he was trying to save on our server and also prevents form Auto-Save save projects. After you create a new project on the disk of the local computer and the Auto-Save in the same place, we decided later that we could like and the Auto-Save to live on two separate discs. I was wondering if there is a way to move the AutoSave folder without having to make a whole new project and copy everything on him. I searched through previous assignments, and even if current discussions focus on setting up an automatic backup location, I can't find all the topics related to the evolution of a current configuration.

    Thank you

    Stu-

    You just go to the project settings dialog box and change when the AutoSave file is defined.

    A couple of things about the Auto-save...

    -It waits a few seconds in action, so if you have a busy beaver editor constantly change things he could not AutoSave for quite a while...

    -automatic backup fact that both 'levels' it is wise to use Save-as to increment your project as you advance. So you can be sure that if you are on the last edit to the project AND... If corruption occurs, you have previous increments of work regardless of their deletion.

  • How to take account of changes to the data model view controller page.

    Hi all

  • How to take possession of the hard drive since the upgrade to Windows 7?

    I've upgraded to Windows 7 from XP.

    Unfortunately I can't access all the files on my old hard drive that is on my computer as drive E, nor I can access all the files on the external hard drive USB either. He says that access is denied. These readers are related to my old account on my XP system who crashed and died.

    How to "properly" take possession of these other drives on my new Windows 7 system?

    Previously, I tried to do with my user name on the Windows 7 system to have all permissions. It does not work. It changes the attributes of all files and folders on my other readers but once everything is done, I still have the same problem and I am unable to access it.

    I also tried to use a program called "edit permissions" and who did the same thing and I still have the same problem. No method worked.

    Please Microsoft, you designed these operating systems if please explain to me how to take full ownership and control hard 'MY' in my XP system discs so I can access all the 'MY' files and folders?

    Thank you.

    1. In 'My Computer' (or simply 'computer' now), click on the drive and choose Properties.
    2. On the Security tab, click Advanced.
    3. On the owner tab, change the owner to be your username (you will need to search for and select your user name).
    4. Apply the new owner to "all subcontainers" (all files on the disc).
    5. Click OK until all of the settings are saved.
    6. Try to explore the disc again.
  • How to take ownership of the folder in a mobile USB drive.

    I created the files in my old PC Windows7 and the restricted share. But my old computer broke and I bought the new Dell with OS windows8.

    Now when I connected my mobile drive to my new computer I could transfer all the files that were not limited. But I can't display or transfer a file that had reduced the share to protect important files.

    So, how do I take possession of the file and transfer the files to my new PC. My old PC is no longer available.

    1. Right-click the folder, click Properties.
    2. Go to the Security tab, click Advanced.
    3. Change the owner to yourself (your account on the new computer).
    4. Click OK until all boxes are saved and closed (which is important, you can't continue until you completely OK and close all the dialog boxes).
    5. Back to properties and security.  This time, the owner will be you, so you can finally change the permissions to access.

    Network of Oracle greetings!

    http://www.DBA-Oracle.com/t_os_error_os5_access_denied.htm

    is a link where a fix on the location of the rman backups is suggested. It asks me to change logon oracleservicesid. my database is what runs a Web site. When I change the connection oracleservicesid the Web site is no longer functions.this is not desirable.
    How can I fix it?
    Even on my test server that hosts the databases, change the opening of session oracleservicesid to administrator, disable all connections made to the database on the local network using SQL developer. How to not let that happen?

    Help, please
    Thanks in advance

    10g is desupported for a long time.
    Your question is you backup to a network drive.
    The solution provided by Donald Burleson is correct.
    Why the site no longer works is not clear that you provide no error message, or whatever.
    Course, a simple solution would be to buy an extra drive to connect directly to the server.
    Your post is poorly understood why you plan to implement that.
    Also, your statement on the test server is far too vague. You did not yet provide no error message.

  • Is it possible to remove the specific backup folder.

    Hello

    Please find below RMAN backup scenario,

    JUNE_01 - LEVEL 0

    JUNE_02 - CUMULATIVE LEVEL 1

    JUNE_03 - CUMULATIVE LEVEL 1

    JUNE_04 - CUMULATIVE LEVEL 1

    JUNE_05 - CUMULATIVE LEVEL 1

    Here is my need,

    (1) can I delete specific folders (middle of the order's backup) which are below.

    03 JUNE - CUMULATIVE LEVEL 1

    04 JUNE - CUMULATIVE LEVEL 1

    So how to remove it.

    I tried with the following query that is not delteted, please find this query, is there any correction, or if you have the correct question to delete specific folder then pls share.

    (2) if I removed above at the mentioned date backup folder as below,

    03 JUNE - CUMULATIVE LEVEL 1 - deleted

    JUNE 04 - CUMULATIVE LEVEL 1 - deleted

    and have only one backup set that is have below.

    JUNE_01 - LEVEL 0

    JUNE_02 - CUMULATIVE LEVEL 1

    JUNE_05 - CUMULATIVE LEVEL 1

    Can I restore complete database from 01 June to 05 June, because I take the cumulative backup level.

    According to the Cumulative level 1 backup strategy, it backs up all recent changes each time after the recent level 0.

    And yet one thing I enrolled as PARAMETER RMAN

    BACKUP OPTIMIZATION,

    So, is this all possible and Impossible. Please, share your experience. Most welcome and thank you in advance

    Cumulative level 1 backups contain all changes since last level 0 backup. So if you do not need to restore from a specific date within your backup cumulative level 1, you can remove it. In your case, you can remove the 03 and 04 of June and can restore the database from June 01, 02 and 05 June as offers, depending on the availability of the last backups.

    If you can restore your database at any other time, beside your incremental backups, also depends on restoring archived newspapers available. In this case, restore you the database from a full or level 0 backup and recover the database using newspapers to check-in to the current or previous point in time.

    To remove specific backupsets, you can use the command "List backup RMAN summary" and use then 'delete backupset ' to delete the backup.
