• Need help | Time Machine: An external drive to an another external backup

  I have two external drives connected to my Mini.

  1. Elementary school: a 4 to format ExFat (because it must be compatible; he must remain this Windows format).  Currently, it is half full.
  2. The second: Time Machine.  It is currently formatted as OS X Extended (journaled).  I can change the format of it if necessary, although the documentation I've read online indicates that this is the required format.  He is currently empty, eagerly waiting to be filled.

  I recently had to upgrade both of these drives.  For the past three years or so this configuration worked.  Since migrating my data to the new material and permutation of readers, however, my main drive is now listed under Time Machine-> Options-> excluded items.  It is grayed out so I can't remove it from the list and can therefore be saved.

  Can anyone offer advice?  On the phone that I was told all upward could never work, but, again, I do this for several years (even on this version of El Capitan).  It was a headache Time Machine restore (perhaps because of the formatting), but at least my data has been backed up with precision.

  I was surprised (and dismayed) when, on the phone, I was told by the representative of Apple to get just Carbonite because what I do is impossible.

• Time Machine backup to external drive connected to the TimeCapsule

  I have a 3 TB TimeCapsule, that contains the my iMac TimeMachine backup. So far so good.

  Now, I would like to connect an external drive to the TimeCapsule via the USB port to allow access to this drive of my iMac as well as other computers on my network. I would like to than the external to include in my Time Machine backup drive. Is it possible - by accepting that the backup of obviously only runs when the Mac is on? If this isn't the case, other methods of backup to an external drive, connected to the TimeCapsule, may be recommended?

  You can do it. Time Machine it will support up to a separate folder on your backup disk. Don't forget to remove it from the exclusions list in Time Machine preferences. I don't know if others cannot see the drive connected to your computer is turned off. They may be able to mount the drive on their computer as you do on yours. Try it because I could be wrong on this matter.

• Using Time Machine to back up the .lrcat

  I have watched and read several tutorials on how to backup the catalog and none of them address the possibility or the option to backup using Time Machine.  Am I missing something here?  If I hung on my TM system, wouldn't I automatically have a backup of the .lrcat file?  I appreciate assistance as I am a newbie of LR.

  It is best to avoid allowing Time Machine backup you Lightroom 1 or 2 catalogs when the application runs. Thus, placing Lightroom 1 or 2 in the list of Time Machine is recommended. Lightroom beta 3 and most likely the final version are automatically placed in the list of Time Machine when they run, but deleted when closed. This ensures that Time Machine does not interfere with the Lightroom Catalog when it is open, but it saves when it is closed.

• my time machine just to complete a backup, but it is not listed?

  I have three macs backed up on a time machine. The mac, I want to migrate was on the list, but I made a new backup to get the latest version. Now that it's over, it is not on the news on the time machine. No idea where it went? It drives me crazy.

  Your question is unclear.

  I have three macs backed up on a time machine.

  You mean a Time Capsule? They are backed up by Time Machine on every Mac.

  The mac, I want to migrate was on the list, but I made a new backup to get the latest version.

  Mac that you want to migrate from appeared in the Finder with a sparsebundle? It's still there... Have you opened it manually and check the dates?

  Now that it's over, it is not on the news on the time machine

  Sorry now it gets too complicated... did you really mean Time Machine here?

  If the Time Machine works normally... hourly backup you would not need to do anything special, so I'm lost exactly what you're doing different.

  No idea where it went? It drives me crazy.

  Me too.. I don't know where he's been... because I don't know what that means, or it you are talking about.

  Missing the sparsebundle to the backup?

  It is simply not enough the last backup date?

  Backup details will be in the paper... you can go through it and find out what happened.

  If you are migrating to a new computer before get rid you of this computer... Just use migration between the method of computers... not the method of TM. Transfer works very well... better even... If you connect two computers together through ethernet (love at first sight would be fantabulous)... and transfer on the standard gigabit network. If your method of backup fails for some reason any.

  But there are as many reasons for the failure of TM is not easy to understand.

  Use a work around if it is important to do this via the backup instead of direct.

  for example... a USB plug into the computer and use it as the target for backup... TM has done well above the local level as network drives.

  You can also create a clone bootable disk USB using Carbon Copy Cloner who is free to use for one month.

• Restored Time Machine not listed e-mails is not in the mail

  I am running Yosemite and Mail 8.2. Somehow, I lost my entire mailbox. I went to Time Machine to do a restore to my Inbox. I have 6700 + emails. I select them all and click on restore. The computer does its thing and then displays a message saying 6700 + restored messages. Yet, nothing shows up in my Mail box. I tried with different numbers of email even only selected messages. No luck. While they hide somewhere?

  Thanks in advance for the help. I feel very lost without my e-mails.

  They are not restored directly to the Inbox. They will be in a restored file slot on my Mac. If this section is not expanded, place the cursor on it and choose display. Look for the restored mailbox. You can select the messages here and move them where you need.

• 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: When can I delete?

  Time Machine seems to be considered as unlimited external HARD drive...

  I started using TM a few months previously and made my drive external HARD quickly became crowded.

  My understanding is that TM will be in safeguarding the principle that what has changed since the last backup.  However, I noticed that there is a list of all the previous backups.  Now, at some point, I need to delete stuff for free space!... If I delete the backups say, keeping just the last two (according to the dates appearing), am I deleting stuff to the "full" backup (i.e.: the last backups didn't need to backup stuff?) Or is the program smart enough to copy previous backups?

  I have a 1 TB of HARD drive on my MBP, not those newer "128 or 256 GB", then Yes: there is trick to back up here...

  Thank you
  Rob

  "If a Time Machine destination is full so that a new backup cannot be stored, it starts to delete older backups to free up space. For example, if you first activated Time Machine in 2013, and the disk is full today, these first backups from 2013 will begin to disappear.

  It is worth noting that Time Machine will not tell you when this happens, unless you select to be told by opening system preferences, click on the Time Machine, by clicking on the Options button, and put a tick in the box head notify after old backups are deleted. »

  Ref: http://www.macworld.co.uk/feature/mac-software/complete-guide-time-machine-mac-b ackup-3626572 /

  TM will automatically use hourly backups for the past 24 hours, daily backups for the month past and weekly for the past few months a whole. Older backups are deleted when your backup drive is full.

• Time Machine on separate partitions

  Hi all!

  I have my MBP partitioned into two - Snow Leopard on one side and the Mavericks on the other. I had Time Machine enabled on both, with the other partition is excluded from the backup. Earlier, I realized that I'm not sure if it was a good idea, because they were all two backup on the same drive. This would cause problems for backups?

  In addition, go ahead, if I simply save the Mavericks score and include the Snow Leopard partition in the back, would I be able to restore the data from the partition of Snow Leopard if something went wrong? (i.e., having to restore from the backup because an error or I need to repartition)

  Thank you!

  It is not ideal to have several backups on the same drive, but if the drive has not failed yet, then you can separate the backups on different drives. Time Machine creates his ' own structure so that it backs up, so your current backup drive will have two separate Time Machine backups. If you click on the backup drive, you would see two separately listed TM backups.

  You do not want to do this way "simply to save the Mavericks score and include the Snow Leopard partition in the back to the top". It would make it harder to get the files to the partition of Snow Leopard, while you're booted from it.

  You could get another drive to separate backups?

  Remember, all things have a life cycle and death comes to all things.

• How can I copy files from Time Machine without going through Time Machine

  I had to do a clean OS X El Capitan on my iMac install because something prevented it from closing properly. I now El Capitan without any of my old files and applications.

  I want to copy my Time Machine backup, but the record has been marked by a red dot. I can't transfer manually. I don't want to go through a Time Machine, because the last time I did it, it just restore the old configuration that basically had the problem that stopped my computer of closing.

  How can I manually copy the files?

  Do not restore complete.

  You can 'enter Time Machine"to select files and folders to restore.

  Alternately, when restoring from Time Machine backup, customize the restoration as follows: under Select the information to transfer, select only your previous user account. Do not select 'Applications', 'Computer and Network Settings' or "Other files and folders". Deselect these choices. Potentially corrupt applications, lists of properties and changes in the operating system will be migrated and will be any problem that may have been caused by them.

• 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.

• Backup Restore Time Machine does not see RAID external drive

  Hi all

  I have a problem with my iMac restore from a Time Machine backup, and I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem already.

  I had to reinstall OS X El Capitan from scratch, based on education, I received Support from Apple. That worked without problems and my iMac works fine. However, I wanted to restore it to how it was before, using Time Machine. I keep my backups on a LaCie 5big Thunderbolt 2 and never had any problems with it.

  To restore the system, I followed the instructions on the Support page. I restarted my system in recovery mode and selected the "restore from Time Machine backup". Unfortunately the LaCie 5big does not appear on the list of drives, so I'm stuck... When you use the system in normal mode, the external RAID is visible and Time Machine stores backups on it without any problem.

  Any of you are familiar with this problem? I would be very grateful if you could help me with this problem!

  Kind regards

  Valerio

  Hello

  -While the system is booted in recovery mode, confirm that the Lacie 5big network is visible in disk utility.   You will need to disconnect / reconnect the Thunderbolt cable to the Lacie 5big be detected.

  -Once seen, a new attempt to restore from Time Machine backup.

  See you soon

• I found that if it becomes necessary to use time machine to return to an earlier existence to reinstall the iphoto library, if for some reason, you lose lose, then when you try to synchronize your ipad is not recognized by the computer.  As one

  I found that if it becomes necessary to use time machine to return to an earlier existence to reinstall the iphoto library, if for some reason, you lose lose, then when you try to synchronize your ipad is not recognized by the computer.  So when you try to synchronize the pictures, they are all removed from the ipad and trying to reinstall everything again.

  This may or may not work immediately.  In my case, only half the photos have been installed, and then the error message came that the rest of 9000 can be installed.

  I contacted Apple support team who has made various suggestions.  Subsequently clicking on a photo list in iTunes were all going again and pictures of 9000 then installed.  When I asked the support team what could happen I was told that it was a "glitch".  I don't like seeds they mean that there could be an error in coding somewhere.

  Here me again.  I use an iMac and iPad.  I don't know why XP and iPhone came.

• Time Machine crashes

  Looking in my journal I find this:
  com Apple.backupd: waiting for index or loan (100)

  After consultation with google I find that the problem is probably related to a disconnection from the backup disk that happened earlier today, when I accidentally stumbled upon the USB when fixing my iPhone.

  I barely touched, but it was enough to cause a disconnect.

  I ' t may be something else though because it seems a little far fetched that a simple disconnect/connect must

  cause such a catastrophic failure like that.

  This post describes how Time Machine can lead to corrupted data when they are exposed to accidents:

  Re: Time Machine 'Waiting for the index to be ready': what it really means?

  If this is the case, then it tells me that Time Machine is not capable of handling disconnects and auto resume.

  I'm guessing that disconnects happen every day to thousands of users of the time Machine.

  So I'm expecting Time Machine to use a fault-tolerant Protocol.

  Maybe it's not.

  Now, I get multiple instances of "com.apple.backupd: waiting for index be ready (100)" in my log file.

  Even if the projector is not indexing.

  It took about an hour to save 3 KB of data.

  Wow
  I'm NOT surprised!

  I should also mention that I added all external drives including the backup drive to the exclusion of Spotlight list.
  So they must not interfere with the backup.
  However, when you add the backup drive, I received the message:

  "My Passport for Mac ' is a Time Machine backup drive.

  Spotlight will continue to search for Time Machine backups but seek no other items on the disk.

  But why must it seek the backups at all.
  Why would I want an index of my backup files?
