Is there an advantage to having a backup disk image of Macintosh HD (for MacBook Pro) to ease/speed of recovery after a disk failure rather than using Time Machine to recover?

  You can add another drive to accept backups Time Machine... assuming it is correctly formatted for Mac to Mac OS extended (journaled), but things are not exactly "continue."

  You have not indicated if you intend to add the player to the USB port on the Time Capsule, or connect directly to your computer using USB or FireWire connections. Or the other method works, with the option to connect directly to the computer being the faster connection.

  Once the disc is added, you would go in Time Machine preferences (click the "clock" at the top of the screen on your Mac) to add the disk for Time Machine backups and delete the old Time Capsule disk, since backups will go is no longer this destination.

  Since you have a new drive, Time Machine will do a new full backup of your Mac and then go forward with incremental backups.

• Using Time Machine for subsequent backups

  I would like to know how can I use Time Machine for frequent backups after the initial. Specifically, I want to know how I can assure you that Time Machine DO backup files that have changed since the initial AND only the new backup files that have been added to the hard drive since the last backup?  In other words, Time Machine will do it automatically or it will save all the entire hard drive again?

  Time Machine which will automatically

  Yes.

• I want to use Time Machine to backup all emails in gmail to a drive.drive Seagate and Lacie.

  I have a Mac Mini with OS X Lion 10.7.5.  I want to use some software (Time Machine?) to back up my gmail

  emails dating back to 2006 on a backup drive Seagate.  I installed the time Machine, and he backs up everything but

  gmail emails.  Can someone give me help.

  Time Machine is to back up files on a local disk. If your gmail emails are in local hard disk, they are ongoing. But if they are on a Gmail server, this isn't a function of time Machine.

• Can I use Time Machine for several different backups?

  I have my 500 Gb HD Macintosh that saves on two external hard drives (two 500 GB), so I always have two backups! But I have another external hard drive (1 TB) with a lot of footage on it I want backe up on top of a new external drive (1 TB)! It is possible to configure Time machine to do it automatically for me, also two different backups?

  TM can run a backup plan. You can include the other external drive backup on the backup TM drive or the existing disks as well as your Mac HD drive. You can save all the new 1 TB disk readers (or readers if you want to add others). 500 Gig drives are not big enough for all readers of backup too.

  What you might consider is use SuperDuper or CCC to back up the other disk to the new 1 TB drive.

• Backup using Time Machine on two external drives?

  I know that time the machine supports two separate discs, but my question is:

  For example:

  If I have a Pegasus RAID of 8 TB, can I use two external 4 TB to my time machine backup disks?

  Time machine splits my data through the two HD?

  Thank you!

  Steve

  As far as I know no, TM will not cover the files on drives.

  You could create a second RAID using 2 4 to disks with older versions of disk utility (training of RAID is no longer supported in El Capitan) or via the Terminal and use it, but I recommend strongly against this. RAIDs always have additional layers of vulnerabilities, so you're much better off getting 8 or 10 TB of drives for your back - up (s) 2 back Ups always better than 1.

  Hope this helps, Greg

• Backup and restore with MacPro and Pegasus using Time Machine

  Hello

  I have more than one mac mini, and Mac Pro.  I have external Pegasus 12 TB and two external hard drives of 4 TB.

  Im trying to back up all servers in those storage unit.

  I can see them in every window of servers as being selectable but I get an error of error OSSTATUS 2

  It was suggested to connect all readers behind the time machine backup, but it has not been that reliable.

  Do you have a suggestion of how to back up each server Pegasus 12 TB and 4 TB two external disks?

  I can't wait to hear your thoughts

  Joe

  From a given computer, you can back up all drives connected locally to this Time Machine backup drive.

  The backup drive Time Machine for a particular computer can be a locally attached disk, a drive attached to a "Tall" Time Capsule or a network drive 'shared' by another Mac on your network. The Time Machine backup disk cannot be a NAS drive, because the restoration of these discs is not completely reliable.

  The space required for the proper functioning of Time Machine is at least two times greater than the amount to save, and 2.5 to 3 times more is recommended.

• No matter what advantage of having a virtual disk instead of partition for SQL server?

  have a quick question...

  I intend to deploy a new server in SQL on VMWARE 5.1 with super 3PAR storage (I'm not Administrator VMWARE, just an occasional driver).

  I'm going to d, e, f for DATA, the newspapers partitions, backup. Does make sense to create a disc of rtual for each partition instead of create 3 partitions on a disk of VMWare return Outlook - 3PAR?

  Thank you.

  I would recommend you create three virtual disks, because in this way you can easily put each virtual disk in a different level.

  Using a single virtual drive for all three partitions, you can't give different level for each partition... in any case if your storage supports a hierarchy at the block level, storage moves the hot blocks of vmdk to a better level.

• Photoshop and backup on time machine Photos

  Hi, I have a MacBook Pro when I installed Photoshop Elements. I have a good collection of more than 17000 photos that are in the Organizer in Photoshop elements (photos Photoshop app organization). I also have thousands of other photographs in the iPhoto itself that are different from those of Photoshop.

  I take a backup of my machine on an external hard drive through a Time machine. I want to know if the backup contains pictures located in the Photoshop elements Organizer. If so then if I need to reproduce these images on another computer I will be able to do. If the backup Time machine does not include pictures, so if I take how to.

  The backup must include Organizer, except if you have excluded in System Preferences/Time Machine. Why not copy the Organizer existing to the other computer, rather than use Time Machine?

• No backups to my Time Machine...

  I changed provider from BT to Virgin Media internet services since July 5 and since then my Time Machine did not have all the backups as it usually does in a reasonable time.

  I tried to change the USB ports on the capsule in order to get this to work but my MacBook Pro (early 2011 edition) comes up with information that he cannot find the Time Machine on the network.

  I'm at my wits end that l have tried everything in the book without success.

  Can someone please give me some advice in order to solve the problem?
