• Time Machine security and file Vault

  I've been using Time Machine to backup my Mac on a HDD external Cie La for a long time.  I wonder if someone would be able to access my ups back if they stole my external HDD of the Cie. I recently started using the file Vault on my Mac but my HDD external Cie La was temporarily disconnected when I used the file Vault to encrypt my Mac. I need to run File Vault to encrypt my Cie La external HARD drive? (I partitioned my HARD drive the Cie I use part to store your confidential files. When I created the partition I used for the password of the Cie system protect the part where I store my confidential docs, but not for the part that handles the back ups time Machine). Any advice on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

  FileVault encrypts only your drive hard iMac, not your drive Time Machine, so that anyone with access to your external drive can view and restore your backups.

  Time Machine has acquired an option that allows you to encrypt your backups. Just follow these steps-> OS X Yosemite: secure your Time Machine backup disk

  Apart from that, you have two partitions on your drive externally (one for backup) and another for your personal files or is in a partition? I suggest you keep your backups and your personal files in different partitions or drives, as they may interfere with Time Machine.

• Two MacBooks, 10.11.4, a fast Time Machine backup and a very slow

  In our office at home, connected to a Gigabit ethernet on the same switch network, we have two MacBooks.  One is a 2011 MBP with a 1 TB SSD (third party), and is an MBA in 2015 with a 512 GB SSD (Apple).  A Linux server on the same network running Netatalk 3 providing the backup network drives, one for each laptop. The two TImeMachine network drives are on the same physical server drive.  Two laptops running 10.11.4 and darn are configured almost identically.  Neither laptop has no trouble finding the network backup drives, and they begin to run backups without problem.

  The old MBP was a workaholic and functioning flawlessly for years, including the fast and regular Time Machine backups. File unique restorations are done with some regularity, and they always worked (I don't think that once done, we use a complete restore of the system from scratch, and it worked).

  The new MBA, in contrast, had endless questions from and complementing the backups.  Last night, for example, I decided to simply reformat the drive on the server where there is a material error affecting the MBA (I ran Linux fsck to check the file system before you wipe it off and he's found no errors) and resumed full backups on two laptops.  The MBP has about 600 GB for the first backup, and complete the backup in about 5 hours.

  MBA, with about 350 Go back up, was still underway this morning and had less than half the backup is finished. In the console log, he showed he was backing about 5 GB/hour.  Not only that, but the incremental backups took a lot of hours (more than overnight), making it impossible to never complete because it must be packed and taken to work at some point in the morning.  I.e. backups are all simple broken on this MBA.

  The MBA connects to the network with a third USB3 (Anker) hub that has a Gigabit Ethernet port on this subject.  I downloaded iperf for Mac and Linux server and found that this is right about 900 Mbps throughput, so I expect an optimal bandwidth is achieved in this regard.

  Any ideas what might be happening here?  Diagnosis between the two to see what could be such a radical difference? Tried to change taps the network wiring/switch problems, without change. Reset, no change.

  We have two other Macs also running backups in this way, under 10.11.4,, and they were also without problem. Also is it just that an MBA, the most recent of the bunch, problems.

  A third-party file server is unsuitable for use with Time Machine, especially if it's your only backup. I know that's not what you want to hear. I know that Time Machine accepts the device as a backup destination. I know that the developer says the device will work with Time Machine, and I also know that it usually seems to work. Except when you are trying to restore and find that you can't.

  Apple has published a specification for network devices that works with Time Machine. No third party provider, AFAIK, does meet this specification. They all use the application of Netatalk incomplete, obsolete Apple Filing Protocol.

  Apple does not endorse any device third-party network for use with Time Machine. See this support article.

  Network backup, use as destination an Apple Time Capsule or an external storage device connected to another Mac or a 802.11ac AirPort base station. Only 802.11ac base stations support time Machine, not older model.

  Otherwise, use Time Machine at all. There are other ways to save, although none of them are nowhere near as effective or as well integrated with OS X. I don't have a specific recommendation.

  If you are determined to continue to use the device with Time Machine, your only remedy for any problems that result is for the developer (who will blame Apple, neither you nor anyone else but herself.)

• 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.

• Sierra - changes to files, Log and the impact to Time Machine

  Hello

  Updated for Sierra and have a minor but very annoying problem. I hope someone can help.

  In the Sierra before the SYSLOG command would print the system from the Console log. Time Machine executions have been recorded there. With a simple command-line grep "iMac com.apple.backupd" I could find all the Time Machine backups and see backup times and pass/fail status, when an error has occurred, the error type.

  Monitor the status of backup is critical for me.

  In the Sierra, the log files are completely different. I can't find where time machine stores its entries or what these entries look like.

  Anyone know how Sierra I accomplish the above? In a log file or elsewhere?

  Thank you

• Want to format a disk and set up time machine

  Hi all

  I don't currently have access to a MAC, so yo please would undergo some basic questions?

  I have a client with a G-Drive 2 GB with NTFS.   I would like to format it for what is Time Machine friendly and configure for Time Machine.  Could someone point me to the proper indication?

  How to partition and format the disk and what (FS) file system should I use?

  Time Machine RESIDE on every MAC or what I need to download and install it?

  Where the time Machine?  Utility applications?

  Thank you very much

  I see on the web when you plug the thing, get you will invite to time machine.

  1. consider a Mac and then see #5.

  2. see #5.

  3 Time Machine is present on every Mac running 10.5 and newer.

  4 elements of it are in system preferences, then the Applications folder.

  5. Yes, you will be. Time Machine manages the process of formatting before the first backup.

• Several laptops, external wireless and Time Machine

  I have three MacBooks, I want to connect it to Time Machine, but getting three external wired systems is not going to work. In my family, no one sits in a single place that would connect to a device.

  I've been watching based cloud like Backblaze subscription services, but a subscription for three machines is more expensive, then buy an external wireless that we can share. (Plus, I like and want, the time Machine interface, and Backblaze doesn't only.)

  He who stands by me and was recommended by a friend is 'My cloud.' Western Digital

  However, I'm trying to find out if I have three machines use a single external for three different instances of Time Machine. My first thought was that I could divide a disk into three partitions of 1 to 3 TB, but I called their customer service and they said that partitioning would not work. However, I can create three separate 'folders' that work with the separate MacBook. I didn't think it was possible. When I used TM in the past, and I use it connected to a G5 tower, he formatted the drive especially for the backup. And I have not found any instructions on the use of sections of a player.

  Before that I have to spend money, I wanted to make sure that it is possible to what they describe.

  You can bind Time Machine in specific folders on an external?

  If someone has a different suggestion, which would be also welcome.

  Thank you.

  You can bind Time Machine in specific folders on an external?

  Yes. I save 2 computers in a time Capsule that is not partitioned.

  Apple officially supports the time Capsules for network backups. If you look in the section updated the Apple store, you can get one for a reduced price with the same warranty as a new one. After trying a few other brands for the backup of network backups, I went to all the time Capsules and in my experience, they work.

• Using Time Machine or the Migration Assistant to transfer information from and old Mac to a new one

  I had to think about upgrading a Macbook Air to a Macbook Pro and have done research on how pretty much everything (files, account icloud, etc.) to move to a new computer so I know how to do it when the time comes. I didn't save my current computer at the time I got it and didn't know whether it was necessary to do it before the transfer. Also, I found two different ways to move information from one mac to another, one way being using the migration wizard, the other via the time machine. The problem is that I've never used time machine (I checked my settings and it is turned off). I was curious to know which option would be the 'best' way and if not never back up my computer would be a problem. (If its possible, could someone also please explain how to back up my computer?)

  Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward I hope to get a reply soon!

  I use Time Machine often (and have used since its introduction).  I also upgraded my Mac hardware quite often (about every 18 months).  Whenever I move to a new machine, I use the Migration Wizard (and not Time Machine).  I've never had a problem.

  Then I suggest that you need not Time machine specifically in order to change computers.  However, you really need to keep backups simply because the material is not, and without a backup, you are subject to lose everything you have on your computer.

• Questions about vCSHB 6.5.1 (LAN or WAN and physical vs. virtual secondary server)

  Hello

  I have a few questions about vCSHB 6.5.1:

  1) there are two sets of installation guides: one for secondary physical server and a secondary server.

  What are the main differences between these two scenarios?

  (2) for vCSHB, there are two deployment options: LAN and WAN

  2 (a) which option is most common?

  2 (b) If an option (for example, LAN) works in an environment, can I assume that the other would work as well?
  And what a difference these two options?

  (3) is vCSHB backward compatible? VCSHB 6.5.1 works in an environment where an earlier version (for example vCSHB 6.4) works?

  (4) what version of vCSHB (e.g. vCSHB 6.5 or 6.4 and 6.3) is widely deployed today?

  Thank you.

  (1) there should be nominal differences - what is different is discussed the virtual network set up against the physical network implemented

  2 (a), in my experience LAN configuration is more common because it over a high availability solution oppesed to DR.

  2 (b) not necessarily, you should make sure that the appropriate ports are open

  (3) I think it is but you have to bring everything up to a compatible version as a best practice

  (4) I'd go with the latest version as it has been out for a few weeks-

• How can I remove multiple backups of my Time Machine drive

  My time machine drive has reached the point where you have to delete an old backup before it completes a new backup.  Is it possible to delete several backups (e.g. all 2014 and 2015 ups 25%) since the Time Machine disk at the same time?  I know how to delete a backup but want to delete several at once.

  By removing the old back ups, remove the first one made or that it has the basic material on which TM all backups are built?

  MacBook Pro 2011

  El Capitan

  16 G RAM

  1 TB SSD drive.

  Time Machine drive is 2 TB.

  Thank you

  I came across exactly the same problem earlier this year. The best answer I found was here: thegreyblog.blogspot.com/2014/03/shrink-your-time-machine-backups-and.html in short, Time Machine, always create a full backup, not an incremental backup. So, no, you don't cause damage by removing one. I did it without adverse consequences. Second, use the tmutil command to delete old backups. sudo tumtil gives you the full list. I wrote a bash command line script, as the author points out. I deleted everything I had since last year, from the first backup performed in October, with:

  $ sudo tmutil listbackups

  Password:

  / Volumes/Seagate backup more Drive/Backups.backupdb/mkauffmanmbp/2016-01-01-003303

  / Volumes/Seagate backup more Drive/Backups.backupdb/mkauffmanmbp/2016-01-02-005714

  There was a lot more lines, what we are after here is the location to be used in the next line. In my case it has/Volumes/Seagate Backup more Drive/Backups.backupdb/mkauffmanmbp/ you need do the same thing, use it-before all the spaces in the path as shown below. Below, I've used 2015-1 * because the mine began in October 2015. I have therefore of 2015-10, 11 and 12. If you want to get rid of all 2015 you can use 2015-*. If you want to get rid of everything before October, you can use 2015-0 * which would remove 01,02,03,... 09 to 2015.

  $ sudo tmutil disable local

  (Here a line.)

  $ for i in/Volumes/Seagate\ Plus\ Backup\ Drive/Backups.backupdb/mkauffmanmbp/2015-1*; tmutil delete "$i"; fact

  $ sudo tmutil activate local

  I hope this helps!

  Happy new year!

• 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

  See you soon!

• Time Machine or backup from Sierra installed

  I backup my MacBook Pro and MacBook Air to Time Machine but show just 'preparation' constantly.  Tried rebooting the Machine and the time of the Macbook, and they are all connected via Airport utility.  Don't know what other troubleshooting I could undertake?  Any help gratefully received.

  Sierra is having issues and never use Time machine on top of an existing backup anyway.

  The steps are to.

  1. archiving of current backups.

  Plug a USB key that is equal to the size of the disk of the CT (you mix the terms Time Machine... software backup on the computer... and Time Capsule... material target for backups within a router).

  Archive is on the airport utility disk tab.

  

  2. once the backup is complete. It may take a day or two for 2 TB which is full drive.

  Erase the disc from TC... a quick erase is fine.

  It takes only a few minutes.

  3 factory reset the TC and reconfigure airport under Sierra on one of your Mac utility.

  Reset Time Machine preferences and it should start and run very well.

  But also, you should read some of the other threads here on the problem.

  For example... preparation is supposed to spend a lot of time when you try to use the existing backup... more wireless with two computers together... It will take days to complete.

  Open the activity monitor and ensure that other processes do not always use CPU. A person discovered photos was chew 90% CPU making a function which is part of the update and not allowing any time for TM backup in progress.

• Opening iPhoto library from a backup Time Machine in pictures

  I'm trying to make sure I have backups of all the photos of my old iPhotos library (something that I can open the individual files in the Finder, not just a copy of "iPhoto" Library). I turned on my old iMac that is not used much more to make copies, and when I open 'Photos' my iPhoto library is not linked. When I hold "option" at the opening of the Photos app, I see these options:

  

  I think I'm trying to access the old iPhoto library, so I click on it, but then I see this message:

  

  I tried to go to disk utility to repair permissions, but the problem persists. My next thought was to open an old Time Machine backup and try and open the backup iPhoto library, but when I do that, I see this screen:

  

  Any suggestions on how to access my old photos? What I am doing wrong?

  Thank you!

  Are these old libraries or backups Time Machine? TM backups cannot be opened directly, you must first use TM to restore the disk

  and where are these libraries? On the main drive or on an eternal drive? If on a DHM what format is and how is it connected?

• Enter time machine during operation?

  Is it OK if Time Machine runs and creates a backup while you are in Time Machine by looking at a previous backup?

  I was looking at a backup from a week ago, and Time Machine ran while I was doing that, and I hope that would not complicate things.

  (I know don't have Time machine running when performing first aid (disk utility) on a disk...)

  Thank you!

  Hello DonnaR,

  Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know how important to know more about the use of Time Machine is for you! The good news is that I wasn't able to find that there is a problem, but it can slow down your communication with the Time Machine. In addition, you can suspend and then resume a backup manually if you know you are going to watch a previous backup.
