Once again the value of the Time Machine

• Where are the time Machine connects to Sierra?

  Running Sierra on a late 2009 iMac. Time Machine works well and updated regularly. However the Time Machine buddy Widget shows all the information. Study using the Console indicates that the TM log entries are to be absent in Syslog. Nothing shows using the "backupd" as a filter on the system log. Under Diagnostics and usage data, I see information for the type of backup and "NOERROR" for completion.

  Does anyone know what has changed in the Sierra? Or is it my unit?

  Boyfriend of Time Machine does not work with Sierra

  Console is 'redesigned', extraction of newspapers can be difficult...

  But!

  You can copy the lines of command in Terminal to see the logs of Time Machine ("TM on the fly" and "History of TM")

  Since this discussion started I see how activity time Machine Console with macOS Sierra;

  By copying this command (from John Galt) line in the Terminal I can view TM-history-logs for a few days back;

  Newspaper show - predicate "subsystem =="com.apple.TimeMachine"'-info | grep ' upd: (' | cut-c - 1-19 140-999)

  This command line also gives information of a TM running 'on the fly', but after the TM copy I have to put in the line of command again TM start-up for a new copy (I can live with that...)

  By copying this command (from chockosmund) line in the Terminal I see what TM is ding on the fly, but did not get the newspaper story.

  the log stream - style syslog - predicate 'contains a [cd] 'Time Machine' senderImagePath' - info

  This command line is that Terminal shows constantly new TM-logs.

  Thank you John Galt and chuckosmund!

  I have a separate Terminal office-space computer were I can watch how TM is progressing.

  Hope that answers your question.

• Time Machine - there was an error preparing the Time Machine backup drive (could not mount the drive)

  I have a new HD but cannot set up encryption with system preferences. After ten minutes, I get the following error message:

  "There was an error preparing the Time Machine backup disk (disc name) - could not mount drive"

  Apparently, I need to set up the HD in this way:

  • If you are using an external drive connected to your Mac, use disk utility to make sure that your backup disk is formatted in HFS + extended (journaled) and is the partition type GUID Partition Table (GPT)

  It is not an option for the HFS + and so I used; OS x EXTENDED (journaled). GUID is ok.

  Can someone let me know what I need to do.

  Thank you

  Formatting: GUID Partition Table, OS X Extended (journaled).    (it is HFS +)

  For TimeMachine at best to a partition only.

  Do it again if necessary, then disconnect, reconnect, Start Time Machine preferences and "select disk".

• Applications do not appear in the Time Machine

  I'm running OS X on a MacBook Pro Retina display 10.11.5.

  I accidentally deleted a request of my application, so I went to restore from Time Machine. When I opened the Time Machine, nothing in the application except the Utilities folder.

  The Application folder is NOT excluded from Time Machine backups.

  You could be the victim of this problem (rather bad): http://pondini.org/TM/D10.html

  With regard to demand: why not download it again?

• I can't remove the time machine backups, I put it in the trash

  My backup disk is almost full, and I want to take on a value of years of backup files until I can get a new backup drive to perform other files that I want to keep. I tried their erasure of the finder inside the time machine, but nothing happened. I sent them to the trash, and they seem to have disappeared from my external backup drive, but are now stuck in the trash. I left the machine running all night to see that it says it cannot remove these files because they are locked. Can you please tell me what I should do now?

  Thank you

  Hello Suzanne,.

  Go to the trash and use "Put" place files back where they belong. Time Machine is designed to remove automatically the old backup when it is full.

• 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.

• 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'?

• What exactly does the Time Machine backup?

  What exactly does the Time Machine backup?

  We have a Mac Pro towers (NOT for sale) and Mac mini with several hard drives installed internally.   Time Machine backup all internal disks or just the boot disk?   This can be configured?

  Time Machine backs up your default boot partition. However, if you have more than one drive or partition on your Mac (and it is formatted in "Mac OS extended (journaled)"), you can set the Time Machine to save these drives too. You can do this by removing these drives from the list of excluded items in System-> Time Machine-> Options... Preferences, so that the next backup will include all internal hard drives or partitions that you want to back up too.
