Recovering data from a Time Machine to an external drive backup

• Time Machine gray on external drive

  Hello

  I understand that starting with OS X Yosemite, it was possible to include an external drive for your Time Machine backup. To be clear, I don't speak _to_ an external backup drive, I am just talking like an external drive connected to always be part of your saved content.

  I understand default external drives are excluded from the list, but we can count them by selecting them in Time Machine preferences by clicking on the "-" to remove it from the exclusions list. However, I have an external hard drive where I can't.

  I suspect that this is because it is in the format ExFAT but wanted to confirm. Does anyone know the technical details about this?

  As far as I know Time Machine do not save to the format ExFAT drives.

• Time machine removed the external drive without warning

  Hello

  I had an external hard drive with a time Machine to the top of my old macbook pro. Today I plugged my new mackbook pro and TIme Machine asked me if I wanted to use it as a return to the top. I said yes, and the process has begun. Then I saw that he had erased everything I had previously on the external hard drive...

  so I stopped immediately.

  Now, my external hard drive is empty with only a couple of the new backup folders... and everything disappeared. Please help, I have all my work on this hard drive and very important documents.

  Thank you very much!

  Maybe this, I used it when nothing else worked, but nothing is a bet of 100%

  the more you use that drive for now more you'll destroy what could be there so disconnect now!

• Migration of Time Machine to the new drive, backups are larger than the Original drive

  I am currently migrating my Time Machine backups from a 2 TB WD My Passport for Mac to a new WD 6 to my book for Mac. I have 63 backups on the old disk, and Finder says that the reader has TB filled 1.96.

  However, each individual backup is about 350 GB, which certainly does not. I think normally it was something weird with the Finder listing the wrong sizes, except that when I copy the backups to the new disk, they copy effectively to 350GB a piece. I initially tried to copy everything the ~ 2 TB Backups.backupdb at once, but it was so great, she didn't, then I copy on each both a backup in a folder that I had planned to rename "Backups.backupdb" at the end. At this rate, I will fill new TB cases 6 drive long before copying all backups on.

  How is that possible?

  Just to be complete, I'm using a Macbook Pro of the retina 2012, 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 graphics card Intel HD 4000 1536 MB, 512 GB of storage, under OS X 10.11.3.

  Time Machine saves the previous backups for the continuous backup size to become more wider until there is no more space on the backup drive. It is quite normal because Time Machine is an archive backup utility.

• 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

• problems after upgrading firefox. reset this is ugly. created the new profile, but can not recover data from old profile.

  I use firefox on a MacBook pro. Mac OS X version 10.7.5. There was an update of firefox on a day or 2 ago. Since this was done, I was getting 'syntax error' 5 times, each time that a page has been loaded. Some research has suggested that an application or a plug-in called "social fixer" might be the problem but I could not understand how to get rid of it so decided to try to reset Firefox. Minutes passed and a message was on the screen saying the old files of firefox have been been "cleaned" or something, but it seems to be 'stuck' because the progress bar was little jerky. Doesn't it usually doesn't. So I clicked on "Cancel". After that, I couldn't even firefox to start. Looks like my profile is unavailable or inaccessible. Following the instructions found on the support site, I created a new profile and I thought I copied the files from the previous firefox on the new profile, but when I run firefox, it's a blank slate. None of my bookmarks or passwords are there. It must be here somewhere, but I can't seem to understand.

  Looks like there was a problem with updating the profiles.ini file.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file

  You can try to remove the current profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile where Firefox has not done that.
  You can check if there is a profile folder with a number of attached time stamp and in this case, you can set the location of a profile created in this folder.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  If you need to recover data from an older profile, always in the default location, or as a folder of old data of Firefox on the desktop then see:

• Is it possible to remove a file from your time Machine?

  Is it possible to remove a file (s) from your time Machine?  When I tried, I got a pop up says that backs up the items cannot be changed. How do you get the room on your Time Machine disk?

  Time Machine takes care of its own needs of storage itself, without interfere you in the process. When the TM drive is running out of storage space, TM will remove older backups if necessary.

  Time Machine backups are very sophisticated in what is backed up at what time. It is not as simple as just delete the backups 'elders '. Let TM its magic in itself.

• Is it safe to remove files from my macbook air now that I have set up my time capsule and backed up with time machine? My boot drive is full. How can I access files of my time capsule once they are deleted from my computer?

  1 n ° put them on a regular external drive and the value of Time Machine to back up as well; the files you want to keep should be at least two disks in case one of them goes down.

  2. they will not be usable until the restoration.

• Time Machine every few weeks stopped backup because it must create a new backup. 9 to on MY Cloud EX2 takes 4 full days. Crazy to keep losing all backup dates.

  Time Machine every few weeks stopped backup because it must create a new backup. 9 to on MY Cloud EX2 takes 4 full days.

  Crazy to keep losing all backup dates

  Message reads

  "Time Machine has conducted an audit of your backups on"WDMyCloudEX2". To improve the reliability,

  Time Machine must create a new backup for you"

  Click Start a new backup to create a new backup. This will remove your existing backup history. This may take several hours.

  Click Back Up later to be reminded tomorrow. Time Machine won't perform backups during this period.

  Is - this common, no way to stop it?

  Just take a brief look at WD for 'My Cloud EX2' site, they list El Capitan as an operating system supported. Mavericks is the latest OS listed. Probably you need to contact Western Digital support.

• Fried Macbookpro, need to recover data from SSD

  I recently spilt tea on my macbook pro and chips on the logic board.

  I would like someone trying to recover data from the SSD and I would like to know what type of reader is required to read this SSD.

  The macbook is a 15' mid2012 retina, 2, 6 GHz (MacBook Pro (15 inch, mid-2012 of the retina) - technical specifications).

  If you can help me find out what I need, it would be really helpful!

  Thank you

  Take the SSD on the MBP and install it in a closed enclosure.  Connect to another Mac a hope that it will be recognized.

  Ciao.

• I am recovering data from 720 KB diskettes.

  About 14 years ago I saved about 150 paint files (all illustrations) on 25 Dysan double face, double pre-formatted density 720 KB 3-1/2 "floppy disks.  I am their opening and copy of Windows XP.  Everything works fine, except for two 2 discs.  The program tells me that the disks are not formatted, and I want to format it now?  I said 'no' because I didn't want to erase all data.  It does the same thing at first to a single disc, which later, I was able to copy.  Do anyone knows how I can get back safely the work of these 2 diskettes, or I won't be able to recover this data?  Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

  I used it to recover data from some pretty bad removable media:

  It's not pretty, and if you need to have a GUI for doing things on the computer (with 14 years of experience, I'm sure you did a little work on the command line!) this is not the tool for you.

  Let me know if you have any questions.
