link to previous time machine backup installs on a new disc

I had TM backup on a NAS drive and he managed to move on to an external USB key using the info at https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201250

When I lit TM back it seems not to be able to see yesterday or the previous ones, even if they were available.

I leave a backup who turns to a full.

I now have access to all my backups, but unnecessarily, the last of them is the 500 GB full when it should only be progressive and probably less than 10 GB.

in system preferences, TM now shows older backup and the last backup correctly and they all accessible, I have just enormous backup I could do without because it uses 1 TB rather half full which.

is it possible for a link to the one of before yesterday and increment of time?

any help welcome

It seems normal since you started using a different disk backup drive.  If Time Machine keeps your internal disk backup, then you have a problem.

  • Cannot switch between multiple Time Machine backups

    I generally save my 2010 Macbook Pro to a 2012 Time Capsule, which is attached to my router via an ethernet cable (most recent) wireless. On a trip, I make the additional backups on an external hard drive. However, when I go home and try to return to the TC, my internal HD is now on the time Machine "Exclude" list and cannot be removed (greyed out). When I try to save, I get a message saying "no disks are available to back up."

    What has happened a few times, and the only solution I could find was to delete my original Time Machine backup and put a new (which took forever).

    Any ideas why my HD internal is added to the exclusion list after using Time Machine with an external hard drive?

    Time Machine backups on a network drive or a disc attached locally stored in different formats. Switching between them was not in the overall theme of the design of this service of OS X.

    I suggest that you set up Time Machine to use multiple disks.

    FWIW, in my case, I backup destinations, Time Machine on a Time Capsule and an external hard drive of 2 bolt of lightning. When both are available, the time goes 'take turns' Machine backup on each drive.

    If a disk is not available, it backs up to that which is, and which ignores the backup of the other. When the two are connected again, backups continue on both.

  • The merger with Time Machine backups

    I fear I know the answer to that, but would like confirmation.

    I am running Fusion 2.0.4 and have Mac OS 10.5.6.

    As part of support to replace a faulty card from the airport on my MBP, Apple did a new install of the OS and erased my disk. When I started the laptop I told it to restore from a Time Machine backup. He restored all the files under the My Documents folder, except for my virtual machines. He has even restored a text file I had in the 'Virtual Machines' folder, but not the virtual machines themselves. Looking back through the external drive for Time Machine, I don't see the virtual machines to any previous backup.

    I guess I'm watered at this point, although I'm hoping the actual VMs are located elsewhere, and under 'Virtual Machines' files are just links. Does anyone have an idea what I can try, or why the virtual machines are not saved?

    Thank you.

    Jeff

    If your virtual machines were in the "Virtual Machines" folder, where they are. Although it is possible to create a configuration where this isn't quite the case (for example, the link hard to another directory or volume), the simplest and explanation of the default value is that your virtual machines were either not stored (in this case I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news) or in the first place never were in this folder (you can check your drive to backup files/folders - virtual machines tend to be big so should stand out).

    As to why it is, Time Machine in the first versions of Leopard would cause a deadlock (and hang the Mac) in certain circumstances, one of them was a virtual machine. To work around this problem, Fusion told Time Machine to exclude virtual machines. Apple has fixed the bug of Time Machine and deleted merge the exclusion of Time Machine, but it is possible to get into situations where virtual machines are still excluded.

    In general, we do not recommend the use of Time Machine to back up virtual machines - the short version is that it will go quickly through space and that it still does not produce a viable backup. Instead, we recommend that you back up files in the comments (or their mirror to the host and let Time Machine pick them up there), or manually back up virtual machines when they are not running.

  • Restored HD from a Time Machine backup of my old iMac (stolen) from my new MacBook Pro.  Not all the files have been restored.

    My iMac 27 "(2011) so my wife 13 '' MacBook Pro (2011) were recently stolen after our House was robbed.  My wife got a new MacBook Pro and I restored it successfully its data (selected "backup restore Time Machine" during the installation of its new MacBook Pro).  However, I also got a new 15 "MacBook Pro in lieu of the iMac 27".  I have, once again, selected "Restore from Time Machine backup" (selected the iMac as the backup source) when installing my new MacBook Pro.  When it was finally over, I told Time Machine to inherit from the backup.  Unfortunately, none of the files in the My Documents folder or the photos in my photo library have been restored.  Was it a bad idea to try to use the backup of the iMac as a source for the MacBook Pro (both running El Capitan)?

    is it possible that your documents are stored on another drive which was not part of the backup plan? or is the HD in the big enough MBP to inherent the old backup.

    If you open the time machine with the original backup disc, you should be able to browse the content

    If the files are found, you can restore by right-clicking (or CTRL + left mouse)

  • I would like to add a folder of photos on a USB key for time machine backups

    I have a new time capsule, and I am attaching a USB hard drive that previously held some my time machine backups and all my photos. I would now add the photo of backups auto time folder machine on the time capsule. But in time machine preferences I don't see the folder or the USB key. Although I can see the USB in the finder as well as the time capsule window. I can copy and paste the photo time capsule file it's just I wanted to time machine for backup for me. Any help much appreciated.

    The time Capsule is what we call a 'network' of the road, so when the USB is connected to the time Capsule, which would make it a "network" drive as well.

    Unfortunately, Time Machine is unable to back up a 'network' of the time Capsule drive.

    If you want to save the data or the USB disk using Time Machine drive, you will need to connect the drive directly to your Mac and then it will be saved with your Mac... assuming that the drive has been formatted for Mac to Mac OS extended (journaled) format. Then, the player will become a "local" drive

    If you need to keep the USB connected to the time Capsule, the only way to back up data automatically on a schedule would be to use a commercial program like Carbon Copy Cloner or ChronoSync.

  • Clone of Time machine backup to a new drive?

    I'm trying to help out a new Mac. Before, I had two back ups of all my data: on the hard drive of my old iMac and my external time machine backup disk. Long story, but during the process of troubleshooting using AppleCare support, my iMac has been cleared. Now, I have only the Time Machine external backup.

    I bought a new drive for Time Machine external backup on my new Mac. I am very very afraid of something bad happens to my old Time Machine backup during the troubleshooting process. My question is, is there a way to clone back to the top of my old drive time machine to the new, so I once more two copies?  If something happens to my old time machine up during this process of troubleshooting, I won't lose all my files.

    I'm not familiar with the Time Machine backups, and even if they need to be cloned since that they are not bootable backups.  The following link is dated but maybe having the relevant documents:

  • You can use migration assistant to transfer the time machine backup external hard drive?

    Hello. I just bought a new macbook pro with a 256 GB flash drive to replace my previous macbook pro that had a breakdown of all the systems. My problem is that I have a time machine backup that is greater than 256 GB (it's almost 450 GB) and I try to find out if I can use migration assistant to transfer all the content directly on an external hard drive, then move the content I want on my hard drive from the external hard drive? My goal is to let my music and photos on the external hard drive and for all port hardware I need for work.

    I don't have access to another mac with storage well enough that I have the old HD so could potentially be installed in an external enclosure and extracted files directly from there if it's easier.

    What I intend to do in the long term is to buy a big external hard drive network and put all my photos, music etc over there and use the laptop as expected - that is for files from day to day - then it will be just a short-term problem.

    Any advice would be really appreciated.

    Thank you

  • Time Machine backup keeps causing MBP restart

    Hi all

    I'm a DJ and just more than one year, I bought a brand new series of mid-2012 13-inch Macbook Pro (non-retine) with an i5 2.5 Ghz processor.
    I installed a 750 7200 RPM HARD drive and max had the RAM to 16 GB with memory mac 'official' of CanComputers. I only use this machine for DJing. I have all my music in two folders on the desktop, I have 2-3 music applications and she. 10.9.5 running and I'm doing time machine backups every month.

    This month, my time machine was told the drive was corrupted and that I was able to read (it was a 500 GB Lacie Rugged). OK: I had another drive, a 1 TB USB3.0 Toshiba Ext HDD. 4 GB in the new backup, laptop computer suddenly shutdown, reboot and I get the message that the computer turns off due to a problem. I looked in the logs and nothing in particular stood out.

    I tried excluding my office of the backup and it worked - it supported a set of 3 GB. Then I added a little music on the desktop and excluded other files, and it has not yet. The entire backup is estimated to be about 450GB.

    I don't have time to play the files on this computer. Someone please tell me what I can do to solve this problem, or at least what is causing the problem. In the meantime, does anyone have an effective solution for the backup of these files?

    Thank you

  • Disk utility does not not what Time Machine backup connected / file Vault question?

    Hi all

    I'm on Mac OSX El Capitan 10.11.3 (15 d 21) on a Macbook Pro 8.2 (early 2011)

    Previously, when File Vault was not activated I've been able to backup on my external drive for Time Machine (1 TB store Transcend jet) and the drive was visible when opening disk utility no problem...

    Now since I have encrypted my first Macintosh HD using File Vault, my disk utility program will not load when my Time Machine (unencrypted) external backup disk is connected, and I can not back up by using the application Time Machine (the player is simply not visible).

    When my external drive for Time Machine is not connected, my disk utility opens very well and I can see my Macintosh HD all external USB drives.

    I tried to re-boot, I tried to disconnect all external devices, I tried to connect the Time Machine drive with two USB ports and I tried to open the first disk utility, and then connect the external drive for Time Machine without success.

    Anyone else have experience with this problem or something similar? Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much!

  • Door key lost in the time machine backup

    Dear community,

    Because I had trouble with the speed of my MacBook Pro (and nothing else developed), I had to set up entirely new.

    Before installing El Capitan, my MacBook Pro (starting 2011) ran on Yosemite 10.10.5. I made two backups with time machine, generated a bootable El Capitan installation USB key, in format Macintosh HD, installed at El Capitan and ran all the updates. The system works well, everything works perfectly and my Mac is fast again. Now, I manually copy things that I need in my system of charges.

    Here, the problem is: I can't find the old keychain file in the time machine backup!

    Keychain works with the keys stored in iCloud. However, the other buttons are gone.

    As I discovered, ~/Library/Keychains is hidden. I did it visible on my system running. However, this does not work in the backup file. It remains hidden or - worse - have not been stored in the backup. I don't know that I have excluded from time machine backup only two totally different folders (dropbox and movies).

    You have any ideas how I can find my keychain (login.keychain if my search was right) in the time machine backup?

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Time Machine, please press the shift-command-C key combination. The windshield will show the mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and search for files to restore.

    If you need to restore from a backup of the hidden user library folder, first select a snapshot, and then press shift-command-G. A go to the folder dialog box opens. In this document, you enter the path to the folder. The dialog box will help you by automatically filling parts of the path when you start typing.

    The path starts with the slash character ("/"). Enter that. The rest of the parts is separated by slashes.

    The next part is the date and time of the current snapshot. Enter a '2', and the rest of the date should be filled in automatically. Press the right arrow key to access the end of the path. Enter a slash to start the next game.

    Next is the volume name (usually "Macintosh HD" unless you assigned a different name.) Start typing, then jump to the end and enter a slash.

    The next part is 'Users', followed by a slash.

    Then is your short user name. It is also the name of your home folder, which is represented by an icon of the House in the sidebar of a Finder window.

    Finally, enter "Library", and then press return. You should now be in the library folder. From there, you can move like in the Finder. You can also select another snapshot of the same folder.

    My main problem is when I start a Time Machine backup, it works quickly for an hour or two and then slows down to a crawl and never ends.

  • FTP settings can be retrieved from a Time Machine backup?

    I had to nuke my Mac and reload the OS, but I did not export the managed sites and FTP of Dreamweaver settings before you do; However, I have a Time Machine backup of the computer before I wiped the drive. Anyone know if I can recover the backup settings and copy them into the new installation? Two copies of the DW are the same and have been installed since the creative cloud. The only difference is the operating system where the old machine has the new El Capitan and Yosemite.

    I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, Mac, so a little extra detail on explanations will be very appreciated. Thanks for any help provided.

    Yes, they can.  In your time machine backup, you will need to go to the library: Application Support: Adobe: commune: {Version}: Sites.  Just take this file 'Site' Time Machine to restore and you should be good to go.
