Interval of time Machine

• What is the interval of time between the virtual machine Linux and ESXi host synchronization?

  I have ESX5.0 with a centos6 installed on this linux virtual machine.

  After the installation of vmware for Linux virtual machine tools, I activated the time synchronization between the virtual machine linux and ESXi host through vmware-toolbox-cmd.

  I wonder what is the interval of time between the virtual machine linux and ESXi host synchronization? If I quickly time OS system, when the OS system time will sync back to the ESXi host?

  According to http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/Timekeeping-In-VirtualMachines.pdf:

  By default, the demon checks the guest only once per minute operating system clock.

  However, depending on whether the guest is behind or in front of the result is different. So, please read the section "periodic synchronization" (at least) in the document mentioned above.

• Remove the Time Machine backups in a certain amount of time

  I have an iMac in the House which is not backup because I have just updated to El Capitan, then now it says that the time Machine doesn't have enough space for a new backup (no doubt because my 200 + GB photo library moved to the new application Photos). Therefore, I need to get rid of some my time Machine backup. My MacBook Pro has almost 1 TB of backup files and I want to delete some, but I don't want to delete ALL my files backup, just in case I need something from him. Is it possible to delete the backups in a certain interval of time quickly, in order to keep all my backups and delete the 'old'? I know that you can delete the backups one by one, but the first backup of my MacBook was in 2014, and I don't want to have to go through 100 backups one by one to manually remove all the...

  Time machine records differences, so delete a backup may stop all your backups made subsequently. Here are some tips on how do it safely for ti:

• Hours set for Time Machine

  Can someone tell me how to change the interval Time Machine creates backups on an IMac running IOS 10.11.4? The default value is too frequent and slows down the imac to a crawl.

  Thank you

  Bill Barron

  You can disable TM and do your backups manually. But TM should not interfere or slow down your Mac.

  Download and run EtreCheck, created by one of his own assistants here in CSA. It is a diagnostic tool that is very useful for us to find problems. It will also give us additional specifications on your Mac. After his execution after the logfile here. It will never contain any personal information

• Effect of Time Machine on SSD

  I installed an SSD in my MBP and moved the old HD in bay view which I configured as a backup Time machine. Time Machine tries to save every hour, every day and every week as default (I think).

  First of all, is it possible to change this to a custom schedule

  Secondly, is it bad for the SSD?

  See this link for instructions on how to change the interval. But while it is more attention of the user, you can turn off Time Machine, check the box to have its display icon in the menu bar and then when you feel that a TM backup is a timely idea, just select 'Back Up Now' on the TM menu. I'm doing it's once a day, or every time there is something I want to save.

  Because the backup involves reading from the SSD instead of writing on it, it isn't bad for the SSD.

• I've never done a Time Machine backup and I have upgraded to iOS Sierra. Help!

  I'm a fool. After owning my Macbook for 5 years, I failed to make a single Time Machine backup. I just saved my essential to an external hard drive. I have upgraded to iOS Sierra. Big mistake. I want to go back to iOS Capitan, but it does not seem possible. Now, my external hard drive is wiped clean (things are dark). What are my options? If I'm stuck with Sierra?

  If you have downloaded El Capitan, it should always be available in your purchases. Now, you will need to make a backup to backup your personal files.

  Since I upgraded my iMac 27 "I can no longer use Time Machine to recover.

  Someone has an idea of what is goiing evil?

  Thanks for any suggestions...

• macOS Sierra stuck on the Time Machine backup

  Its been 2 weeks now since I updated to macOS Sierra and my Time Machine backup is always stuck on "preparing backup" and I tried different disc backup on another partition but still no luck.

  Make sure that:

  o drive the TM is excluded from Spotlight indexing non-mandatory;

  o that all software anti-virus is disabled (especially Sophos);

  o journal of iCloud and other cloud services.

  o check this article: macOS Sierra: If Time Machine still at the stage of "preparation"

• Time Machine does not work after upgrade to Sierra

  The Time Machine (TM) fail to start backup and there is still "preparing backup...". "for more than an hour. This right after upgrading to Mac OS Sierra.

  Another weird thing happens to the toolbar of the Mac Mail. The Junk button is replaced by another button. trying to put back in place, but remove the button become a button.

  Please help with the backup problem mentioned above. Thank you much in advance.

  How long have you waited? After a new installation, it must be a fair while even with a SSD to prepare the first backup due to the number of modified files.

  Make sure the TM drive is in the list of items excluded from Spotlight indexing. ICloud newsletter and other cloud services.

• Time machine backup is too large, that is not true, said

  After the upgrade to OS Sierra, Time Machine always tells me that the backup is too big to fit on the external drive that I use. I erased the disc and checked all volumes, I don't want to back up. He always tells me that the backup is 2 TB.

  My boot drive has 155 GB in use, I do not understand why TM attempts to use 2 TB. I've removed the preferences, he always tells me that it is too big. The external drive has 1 TB of free space.

  Any suggestions?

• Delete older backups time machine from the server

  I have a small number of iMacs here that back up using Time Machine on our local network to an external hard drive on an iMac running server. I added a second external hard drive and I say most of the Mac to use instead. Once they have saved once the new drive safely - how can I remove the old backup of the first disc? Is it safe to just delete the sparsebundle to it? Or is there a way to do it properly

  TIA

  Andy

  Yes, it is safe to delete the sparsebundle in the old media from backup after you remove as the backup location and create your 1st upward on the new location. Since your iMac is now pointing to the new backup media, they are more associated in the former. If you have no other Mac backup on old media, you can simply reformat.

• Time Machine - how to change discs

  Hello

  Until now, I had time Machine using external HD_1 external drive. I just bought a new drive, external HD_2. I'd like Time Machine to begin to use external HD_2 while the addition of new backups to existing backups database.

  My question is: How can I transfer the backup database that is currently on HD_1 to HD_2? Do, I just have:

  -stop time Machine

  -in the Finder, move the folder of backups from one volume to another database

  -to tell Time Machine to use HD_2 and reboot

  or are there other complications - for example I'll end up with 2 databases disconnected backups - I need?

  Thanks in advance.

• Mac OSx Sierra Time Machine WD my cloud

  Since upgrading to Mac OSX Sierra my Macbook Pro and Macbook Air are not capable of doing Time Machine back Ups to a WD MyCloud drive that is connected to our router.

  We have updated the firmware on the WD My Cloud drive to the latest version and contacted WD on this problem, so far they have not come with a solution to the problem.

  If you open Time Machine preferences and then observe what happens, by hitting 'Back Up Now' systems do "Looking to save the disc" then "Preparing backup" then stop and then go back to the status of 'rest' without backup anything to the top at all. It is the same on both machines. You can see here: Time Machine Back Up My Cloud

  Notice how the drive icon changes to the point where it stops working and then goes to the other drive which is a USB.

  Now, to complicate the issue further... an iMac connected via Ethernet to the router can go back to the My Cloud drive perfectly as before. If Apple changed something with the wireless protocols I think but that?

  Hi stevefrompembury,

  Thanks for posting in the Community Support from Apple! I understand that your or your Mac back up Time machine since the update. Backups are certainly crucial to ensure that your data remains secure, so I'm happy to offer some suggestions.

  You have already tried a few milestones. I recommend you take a look through this article so that you have covered all the steps mentioned, including the section titled 'Control your readers': If you can not back up or restore your Mac with Time Machine

• Time Machine restore problems

  Me again... still to try to recover my drive hard because I tried to make the Boot Camp.

  In preparation for boot from the external drive, I had a cool time machine backup of the system. The system was Captain El.

  When I started pressing cmd + R to choose the way to go, I entered the utilities disk and tried to format/erase the existing partitions so that one new partition could be created, and then I use boot camp to install windows again.

  Somehow after I did that and came back to restore options the system reported it no were not available to boot from the boot floppies and asked me to tie a boot disk. Having no other than the old drive boot disk that I had replaced out of the computer when he was a Maverick, I used as a startup disk and go to revive the position and where I chose what to do.

  When I choose now to restore from the external drive that has my time backup machine El captain on this program trying to install for a bit, and then he told me that ' year error occurred during the addition of a system of recovery on the destination disk. It then asks me to restart to get rid of the problem, and of course the problem won't go away.

  If I choose to reset the computer he'll want to maverick. I agree with going back that far and punting again and I'll probably have to do this because it appears that I have no other choice. I hope that I can install Maverick and then restore my El Captain off the external drive.

  Hello Farzad_K,

  Thanks for asking for help with Time Machine here in Apple Support communities. I am pleased to offer you things to check this.

  Since your Mac is fairly new, I recommend first start in recovery of the Internet. Here is the article on this subject: on Mac OS recovery. I know it says it's the Sierra, but the steps are the same for El Capitan. Use the second set of instructions for the recovery of the Internet with the keys: command ⌘ ⌥ (alt) Option and the letter R.

  For this with the drive installed that you want to install OS X El Capitan to. If you have changed to the older readers with the Mavericks, switch back, and then run the recovery of the Internet. This will fix your hard drive and then allows you to install the operating system from Apple servers. Then you can restore the backup, or try to run a Migration Wizard using this help article: move your content to a new Mac.

  Thanks again and relax your day wonderful.
