• Why are my bigger than my hard drive backups?

  I have a Thinkpad with 250 GB used.  Windows backup works very well, but he put two large files on my external hard drive: THINKPAD with GB 357 and WindowsImageBackup with 151 GB.  Why so much?  Can it be reduced?  Should I turn off Windows Backup and use the software of the car manufacturer (WD Backup) only?  His record is 344 GB, and there is only one.

  Hey there Mike :)

  Could you post a screenshot of how backups look in folders?
  Your backup is probably making a complete copy of all your files AND a system image that can be restored, so it's bigger than your space used.
  In my view, this thread will be useful.

  I might suggest checking for WD SmartWare as a backup solution. :)

• Error - Run time loading error file error 31037 when trying to restore the backup files.

  Original title: Run time error 31037

  I'm trying to restore a backup of the data on an old program of accounts, but I get a "Run time Error 31037 file load error" message. I downloaded some ocx files missing and saved these and others that are necessary, but in vain. Can anyone help, please. The program works, but it won't let me restore. Thank you.

  Hi Kim

  I managed to solve the problem with the help of software vendors as the other methods did not help in this case. Thanks a lot for your help and your suggestions.

• New mac connects to the time capsule but does not see the old backups

  My new MacBook Pro connects perfectly to my Time Capsule, but it is not all backups that are there.  I can't scroll through them as I can with my old MacBook Pro.  The MacBook still connect to Time Capsule well and see and scroll through all the backups it.

  No idea why?

  I wish that my new mac to be able to go back through the backups as does my current MacBook.

  Thanks for any help.

  Since El Capo OS a lot stricter security.

  You will generally not be able to simply use a backup Time old Machine as you did in the past.

  Backups made by different computers must be used via migration assistant... not just opened in TM.

  However, you can always copy a file or folder, you must manually via the Finder... ride the sparsebundle and access... If you have issues copy folder in the form of TM and then paste it in Finder... There are different ways to trick the it.

  Time Machine has a 1 fixed time between backups... I wouldn't change it... the design of the system works better if left to default values.

  Am trying to re - install Acrobat 9 Pro (includes the Distiller) after installing a new hard drive. iMac 27 "2009, ElCapitan 11.11.6. I have the original dmg file. have also tried copying from back up. Same thing is happening anyway. It seems to load correctly. When open it asks my password but not to its own serial number. It is open, but don't watch not at the full bar at the top, that the word Acrobat, and it does nothing? Worked very well before the old drive crashing. On the same operating system?

  Not compatible does not mean that it cannot work (even if sometimes this does not mean that). This means that it has never been tested and not be fixed; This often means people have seen strange and unpredictable issues.

  Acrobat makes changes to the system, it is always more vulnerable. DC Acribat is the current version. If the goal is to slow down completely, perhaps more profitable subscription activity.

  I have an IMac with time machine and time capsule. If I buy a large external hard drive can back up all my Lightroom Info but also everything else to go to time machine, & that it saves on hard drive new, after he made a backup to time capsule?  This way, I would have two backups.

  Hi marinersr,

  I'm not sure the backup machine capsule/time, but according to me, that it backs up all data on your hard drive.

  Yes, you can back up the Lightroom catalog on the hard disk external.

  You can set the time of the backup under the catalog settings > backup > he would invite to the backup, when you exit Lightroom > click on select next to the location and specify the location as your new hard drive.

  If you want images of both original backup, you can configure to create a second copy of the images on your external drive during import.

• Restore backup to Time Capsule

  I got my iMac reinstalled and at the same time, updated to OS X El Capitan.

  After connecting to the network and my time Machine, I tried to restore the last backup before reinstalling.

  I can connect to my Time Capsule via Time Machine, but trying to open the disk image following warning appears:

  Image: XXX iMac.sparsebundle

  Reason: Resource temporarily unavailable.

  I tried to restart both my iMac and my Time Capsule

  Thank you

  Connect the TC directly on the Mac in ethernet... disable wireless... There still need to be connected to the internet too long that the TC is configured as a router.

  Try again.

  You use migration assistant right?

• corrupted backup iPhone: you can restore old backup from Time Machine?

  Hello

  I recently had my iPhone 6 (last iOS 9.2) stolen and when I bought my new 6 iPhone updated to iOS 9.3.1 and it synchronized, he said that the March 21 backup was corrupt or incompatible.

  Leaving aside Why is it (except if in your knowledge, it has an effect), I was wondering is it possible to go into the Time Machine and find the last iPhone backup (hopefully not corrupt or incompatible) and then use it when you synchronize and put up my new phone?

  So in this case I would lose a week / a month value of the data over the year or so for my backup previously listed on my iTunes currently.

  More important still, I need to get my SMS and notes.

  For now, my contacts seem to have all come finer.

  A big thank you for any help you can provide.

  See you soon

  You should be able to do. Follow the instructions here to find and restore the backup on your hard drive.

• 150:30 of error after you restore the backup CS4 Time Machine

  I bought a new Imac with OS X Maverick and put in place by using a backup from time machine. My Adobe CS4 now has a problem with the license and shows me the error: 150:30?

  I have to uninstall and reinstall CS4? Is there an easy solution to this problem?

  Thanks to everyone for help.

  Chris

  I have to uninstall and reinstall CS4?

  Unfortunately Yes.

  Also run the cleanup tool before reinstalling

  Use the CC cleaning tool to resolve installation problems. CC, CS3 - CS6

  Restoring backups Time Machine invariably breaks the activation mechanism (error 150:30) and there is no easy way to correct an error of 150:30 otherwise than by the re-installation.

• Restore from Time capsule, but new files on the target machine, won't be wiped out

  I'm trying to move files between two MacBook, however, I have been using the new MacBook for a while (like a year) and a lot of files/images/person of the most recent data on it (dataset B for example).

  So I recently did a full backup on my older MacBook (say A Dataset).  I wonder if I do a "restore" time capsule backup (data set A) against my new MacBook, the new dataset would B be destroyed?

  My desired outcome is to have the dataset A + B all in my new MacBook.

  DataSet B backup, restoration of A DataSet, then restore DataSetB.

  Please, do not restore OS X from A DataSet.

• New backup on Time Capsule

  My Time Capsule was fortunately automatically back up since September 2013 using Time Machine and is full by far. However, Time Machine this week said that a new backup should be created. I created this, and after about 24 hours, the new backup is complete. Time Machine now says that the oldest backup is the one that has just finished. This isn't a problem and everything seems to be in order, but I was wondering if this had happened to someone else (and why is it) and there is something to fear?

  Thank you very much.

  What you describe, it seems that you could see a message that looks like this:

  

  This message appears when your previous backups were corrupted and not enough to use stable. Utility of disc on your Mac has tried to repair the damage, but he couldn't, so the old files must be deleted and started a new backup.

  I hope that you will not see this message again, because the same thing will be happening everywhere if it appears.

• Drive external drive to backup to time capsule

  I use my Time Capsule to back up my computer automatically, but I would also like to use as a backup to my external hard drive. How can I implement that? I tried dragging the files into the Capsule of time on the Finder and it does not allow me to do.

  Thanks in advance for the help!

  Any drive connected to your Mac can be included in the backup Time Machine.

  Go to the preferences of TM and remove the exclusion of an external drive... which will add to the backup.

  Alternatives are also good.

  I highly recommend to use Carbon Copy Cloner... which is $ 40

  You can copy and paste the files, but it is better to first create a folder on the TC.

  Don't drag the files in the root directory.

  Drag the files into the sparsebundle TM.

  Make sure you that you get TC drive in finder yourself... otherwise you ruin the backup TM.

• I have a padlock on my backups in Time Capsule.

  Time Machine has obviously done a check on my Time Capsule to improve reliability.

  

  He put a padlock on the backup and now it is inaccessible for time machine.

  I have the last AirportTC is running the latest firmware - v7.7.3.

  Does anyone know why it does this?

  Thanks in advance!

  Kind regards

  It's never a good day when you see this message.

  ... Verification process that takes place on a regular basis... detected that your backup files have been corrupted, tried to fix them, but that he could not complete the process.

  Thus, Time Machine will clear all your old backups and start a new backup. Why the files are damaged to some users and not others is something that Apple has not been able to answer.

  I hope that the message does not yet appear in the future, but you never know with Time Machine.

• PC Backup with time capsule

  I have a windows 7 PC, I want to save on Time Capsule.  I installed Airport utility and can see the Z disk.  What I can't do, is make the Z drive to appear as a backup option.  Suggestions?  Thank you

  If you try to make a backup of backup MS in win7 so it won't work if it's the original... only pro or ultimate version... For some strange reason MS consider home version to do no need to work at network resources...

  I highly recommend the purchase of a... decent backup software which can backup to network drives.

  The starting point is you can create a directory on the TC drive and copy files to it?

  Don't worry about backups until you know that you have all permissions to copy files.

  Please note... recovering from a TC is going to be as hard as making backups.

  A PC on a NTFS formatted USB disk plugged directly into the PC for trouble free restore backup... If you plan to use storage-based network buy a good NAS... you use a TC and find yourself in trouble if you need it.
