I have restored my hard drive for time machine

• Restore a hard drive backup time machine (how?)

  I've been Googling this and if you don't find a clear answer.  If you can point me in the right direction please do.

  I have a Mac Pro, and the system drive (a 850 Pro SSD Samsung I installed it a year ago) has failed.  At this point, I can't clone it, and the only recent backup I have is the Time Machine backup.  I have an old backup to clone (if all goes well bootable).

  What is the best way to install a new HD and restore from Time Machine backup?  All of the guides I can find mention using recovery recovery partition or on the internet, or which are options in this case.

  A proposal, it is something like:

  (a) in a way to format the new disk (starting from the bootable clone if all goes well?)

  (b) restart into recovery mode?  Will be (a) install the recovery on the new disk partition?

  I have also 4 readers installed in the Mac (now dead), I don't know if that complicates.  (System, data, and a clone of each.  The clone system is very up to date.)

  (I normally also note make backups with SuperDuper! but for a reason that has not been running on this hard drive for months.)  "And it's too late now).

  Thank you.

  (I'm on the latest version 10.10, not what it says in the signature.  The clone may be some 10,10 versions behind.)

  In particular, the directions of Apple are meaningless:

  OS X Yosemite: restore your entire system

  It is said in short:

  1. Replace the HD.  (Done, now there a disk not formatted instead of a system drive.)
  2. Make sure your Time Machine backup disk is connected and turned on... (of course, ok)
  3. Choose the Apple menu > restart.  (How do I?  There is no OS installed.)

  Etc., but if I followed these instructions I get no further than 2.  With the clone bootable in the computer, there just boots that and will not go into recovery mode (looks like the clone has no recovery partition).  So I'm stuck.

  Suggestions?  Thanks in advance.

• How do say I have this external hard drive more Time machine?

  I keep all my personal documents on an external drive that is still connected to my Mac via USB. For the purpose of this question, we will call it this disc "Lagavulin".

  In addition, I have a Time Capsule. Time Machine is configured to record its backups on the time Capsule.

  TimeMachine performs regular backups of my complete system, including the operating system, applications and settings internal to the Mac disk, as well as my personal documents that are on the external hard drive "Lagavulin".

  A few weeks ago "Lagavulin" behaved erratically, so I bought a new external drive to replace it. Let's call it "Ardbeg.

  I have all my files from "Lagavulin" to 'Ardbeg' in reverse. Then I threw it "Lagavulin" in the Trash because his performance was getting worse and worse. The transfer went very well, and all my files are fine.

  I put TimeMachine to include "Ardbeg" in its future backups.

  The problem is that TimeMachine still thinks that I have "Lagavulin", even if I is no longer the branch. When I access TimeMachine and look what is recorded in it, it always includes the files on "Lagavulin" in its most recent backups. Thus, each current backup has "MacintoshHD" (system files), "Ardbeg" (personal records) and "Lagavulin" (old version of the personal folders).

  How can I know TimeMachine that I own is no longer "Lagavulin"?

• My Time Machine is full. Should I keep it plugged in and turned on even if I switch to another external hard drive for Time Machine backups?

  My external hard drive, Time Machine is full. Should I keep plugged in m and, even if I switch to another external hard drive to keep backups with TimeMachine?

  There is no need to keep two connected external drives. Instead, I suggest you to buy a bigger external hard drive and transfer the backups that you want from the old to the new external drive, so you can use the old external drive for other purposes-> Time Machine: how to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support

• What is the best solution when my external drive for Time Machine is full?

  Hello

  I use the latest version of Mac OS X on my iMac 27 ". I use a drive outside of 3 TB G-Tech for Time Machine backup. Due to my recently many RAW photo images, I have less 8% left storage on my external hard drive, so I'm trying to figure out next steps in what concerns the strategy of external storage and have the following questions:

  • When my external drive for Time Machine is full, it is my understanding that older backups on external hard drive will be deleted to make room for newer backups. If the oldest backups contained pictures (whose records have not changed since the time they are initially stored), then I guess that these photos will be removed from the external drive - correct?
  • If I had to replace my external drive for Time Machine with a new external drive which is as big or bigger than the one it replaces, what should I expect on the size of the initial backup on the new drive? I guess the size of the backup would be exactly equal to the current amount of storage used on my drive hard iMac - correct?
  • Would it not be possible to connect the external drive for Time Machine existing at a new Time Machine external drive so that when the original disk is full, the overflow will be automatically stored on the new external hard drive for Time Machine? (If feasible, it seems that this strategy would maximize my external storage capacity vs just replace external drives.)

  I realize that my first two questions are rather basic, but I don't want to make any false assumptions. The third idea is intriguing and I would like to know if this is a viable option.

  Thank you

  older files are starting to get deleted because the disk fills up then Yes, they went

  the backup drive should ideally be 4 times the capacity of your current drive, twice is good but has its limits. Also factor in what you store: a jpeg from the web and a raw photo file are the two images, the size of a is very different. If you work in high-resolution or large native files, or audio files (record pro, no music files) or video production twice the disk fills up very quickly. If you collect photos and JPEG and mp3 files or a handful of videos not so much is necessary.

  I would keep the old drive intact if you want to replace and start over with a new drive, if that's the plan. You have the old data, you can keep it somewhere safe and have a redundant backup which you can reconnect at any time to restore from. Let the new index drive itself with new data and take if from there, in the case otherwise you can copy the backup to the new drive and set the drive as the new source of backup but personally I wouldn't copy of the data, that's my preference, it may not be yours and that's fine.

• Should what format I use for my external drive for time machine?  I have a WD 2 TB that is formatted for PC new drive.

  Should what format I use for my external drive for time machine?  I have a WD 2 TB that is formatted for PC new drive.  When I got to disk utilities to erase, and then reformat the options are

  1 mac OS extended (journaled)

  2 mac OS extended (journaled, encrypted)

  3 mac OS Extended (respect for case-sensitive, journaled)

  4 mac OS extended (case-sensitive, journaled, encrypted)

  See the information below If you can not back up or restore your Mac with the help of Time Machine - Apple Support

  When you select a drive to use with Time Machine, your Mac automatically prompts you if you need to reformat the drive.

  • If you are using an external drive connected to your Mac, use disk utility to make sure that your backup disk is formatted in HFS + extended (journaled) and is the partition type GUID Partition Table (GPT).
  • If you use a time Capsule, formatting the drive for Time Machine preferences automatically formats the drive as HFS + Extended (respect for case-sensitive, journaled) with a GUID Partition Table (GPT).

• How to back up to external hard drive using time machine

  I just bought a new drive external toshiba with 500 GB of memory. When I tried to back up my computer last night through a time machine, I thought that it worked, but when I woke up this morning, time machine told me that my oldest and the most recent backup is none which means that it does not cross. I tried again this morning but after hitting "back up now" time machine prepares the backup, and then start it, giving me a ridiculously ETA such a 15 hours, then never completely complete the back which is really confusing so I do not know what to do.

  Did you partition and format your new drive before using it? What version of Mac OS X? See use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support and that Mac Basics-Time Machine backs up your Mac. Visit Time Machine FAQ of Pondini helps with Time Machine.

• Adding 2nd drive for Time Machine

  I have an IMac with a 3 TB drive and a 4 TB laCie drive Thunderbolt used for Time Machine. I get the message that the Time Machine disk is full. I can daisy chain a second LaCie and recognized it as an add-on to Disk Time Machine?

  Not unless your create a JBOD RAID array. You can * another player and change Time Machine backup on this drive. If the player has not been used for a backup Time Machine, then Time Machine will start a new backup.

  Note that you have to create the JBOD or RAID Stripe it would remove all files on both drives before you create the table. Thus, when selected for the drive Time Machine you will be a new backup.

  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.

• I could install a copy of Windows (via Boot Camp) on my external drive for Time Machine without erasing my backups?

  I want to use Windows 10 (for games) on my 2013 MacBook Air (13 ", 128GB flash, 1.3 GHz Intel i5, 4 GB of RAM), but I want to install it on my external hard drive because I am almost out of space SSD (34 GB remaining), and I know how large windows is. I have an external 1 TB harddrive that I use for my backups Time Machine, and I was wondering if I could transfer my copy of Windows hard disk external and implemented via Boot Camp. Is there a way to partition my drive so that my backup and Windows can both be there? And is there a way to trick Windows in race (start) from the external hard drive?

  Lol as the second partition on the boot volume. None of the other partitions will be allowed thereafter.

• Independent external drive for Time Machine backup

  Can I save two external hard drives independently in two separate backup drives?

  2 TB DHM supported with a 2 to DHM

  and

  5 to DHM supported with a to 5 DHM

  The 2 TB drive holds the content inventory which changes often but never amounts to more than 300 GB.

  5 TB disk holds archived folders which adds, with about 30 GB of data, once a month.

  Time Machine is not really suitable for this. The only way I can see it could do would be to an installation to be excluded from the backup disk, then do the backup Time respective Machine. Then return the exclusion so the opposite road is excluded, then backup to the backup Time opposite Machine.

  This should be clear would be a completely manual process, in fact you realistic would switch off the Machine in time to avoid that it auto backup on the drive bad between manual backups.

  However other backup programs more sophisticated pourrait be configured to do this automatically.

• can I save an external drive for Time Machine with my laptop SSD?

• Remove the external hard drive from Time Machine list of exclusions

  Hello, all. I already use TM to backup TO an external hard drive. But, I have a second DHM I want to use for all of my photos. The HD is listed in preferences on the exclusion list, and I currently have no way to remove it from the exclusions list. It is a Seagate HD. Is any way to remove it from the exclusions list?

  Copy all data on it to a different location, choose Utilities in the Finder Go menu, open disk utility and reformat the drive as Mac OS extended.

• Cloning of an external drive for Time Machine

  If I want to create a clone of my HD bootable, can I use an existing external drive that is used for the TM? Or would I need to create a partition in the drive and the clone to this partition? Or, finally, if you clone a drive with SuperDuper! or CCC or backup Guru they will make the clone bootable for you? TX

  1. Yes, but you must use a separate drive; You can fail at any time.

  2. If you choose to use a single drive (see #1), you need to partition. The backup Time Machine will use eventually all free space on the volume, holding it.

  3 Yes, unless otherwise stated.
