Storage system problems

I just opened the tab "about this Mac" and headed over to storage to see what the levels were. And to my surprise, I found a section called 'backups '. I am posting this because I've never seen this before on my Mac after having owned it for almost 4 years now. Please see attached. I would like to know where it is stored and why it now makes its appearance in my storage system. Thank you.

It depends on if your time Machine is configured to backup local ups

This thread has some tips that would be useful

  • Impossible to safely remove external USB HDD - ejection of mass storage device problem

    Hello

    I have a 250 toshiba external hard drive. "When I go safely remove device and click on stop, guests me that ' ejection of mass storage device problem and try later.

    Is there a reason for this? As I have heard it is dangerous to pull the cord without stopping it first.

    This happens usually when something is always access to the USB - HDD.
    Yes, it s dangerous to pull on the cable, because you can lose some data and the file system may be damaged. But if you have a situation where you need the drive to take with you and want to just get out the cable to the USB port there is a little trick to disconnect the security apparatus:

    Do right click on 'My Computer'-> click on Hardware-> click "devicemanager"-> go into "diskdrives"-> then you need to click on the drive that is your USB - HDD-> with the right button and then click on 'Properties'-> in the menu properties of this drive, you must go on "policies" and click on "optimize for quick removal"-> and then click OK and exit this menu and all-> perform a reboot-> closing information fact. :)

    After that, it s safe for remove you your drive even if it s not ejected. :)

  • Sierra of MacOS - 50-100GB of storage system?

    Hi all

    I have a Macbook Air from mid-2013 with 120 GB of SSD storage. I have updated my OS sierra and noticed that the 'system' takes up 100 GB of storage! I tried to delete my files, but for some reason, I still has a very high amount of the storage system.

    I decided to clean my computer everything and do a clean install. With the clean install, I have 50 GB of storage of the system. This sounds like a ton of storage used for system to me. Is this typical? I remember that a lot of space in the Yosemite/El Capitan.

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    120 GB SSD storage does not work. What you need, it is 10 times this amount of storage and memory far more to have a working machine. Got a HD big or better get a new machine and couple HDDs connected outside your small computer.

  • The storage system upgrade

    What risks are there to my ESXi cluster by performing a storage system, level as on a VNX and how serious is the risk (i.e. the temporary loss of connectivity when failover path to the secondary controller, performance degradation, etc.)?  I use Fibre Channel and I need to upgrade the software of OS of OE on my VNX.

    If zoning is configured properly (i.e. of access roads to the SPA and SPB) ESXi, you shouldn't really notice an interruption but simply switch paths to the lun. If you run very high workloads, you should consider to upgrade during off-peak hours (the pre-upgrade check will determine the load of the CPU on the SPs and warn you if it is too high for an upgrade). I just upgraded a few unified of the VNX5400 systems and it took about 3 hours for the upgrade file and block OE.

  • VCB to backup server with HP's Eva and Dell AX4 storage systems

    I have two storage systems connected to a backup server. It is installed on Windows 2003 Server x 64 PowerPath5.2. Windows see each storage only once, so I think that multiple paths to the storage works correctly. Whenever I try to start to browse (or start the backup operation) a VM on HP Eva everythink is ok, but for the VM on AX4 I recive error message:

    What can I do with it?

    Next step would be to check a second time your zoning and lun masking. There could be a conflict with the various mpio drivers between eva and the clariion. I would try to remove all mpio drivers too.

  • Qosmio X 500 - 11U restarts when games & cooling system problem message

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio X 500 - 11U PQX33E, bought in the summer 2010. Since 2012 (1 month after the warranty ended) he started to do restarts without reason, but I gave much attention to it, as it happened rarely. However, after 1 year things are worse and I ended up having a cell phone game that I used only as a PC Web browser. From time to time, I blew the fans to clean... Finally, I decided to fix it.

    I gave it to a technician, he cleaned, replace the dough thermal CPU - GPU and replaced one of the fans who did not work properly.

    Still nothing has changed. I tested it again (by running windows experience rating), and it crashed as before.

    I made the big decision to go back to factory settings and I made a clear installation of all components of the system (including the stuff of all the toshiba).

    Restart again for the note windows. ... (the same thing happens when I run any high graphics games)

    I have flashed the bios to v2.90

    Restart again for the note windows. (the same thing happens when I run any high graphics games)

    In addition to the above, because I did the clean install of the system, I started to get the message ' WARNING: a problem with the cooling probe happened... return it for service.

    I can hear the fan is working but when I run the diagnostic tool for Toshiba, the CPU usage is at 50% and the fan to 0%, even in use high power (yes I changed both power settings)

    Any help would be much appreciated, because I really feel VERY bad after paying 2500 EUROs for a gaming computer I can not operate for its intended use.

    Thanks in advance

    However when I try to run all 3D graphics applications (and some flash feature facebook games) it blocks (auto-off)

    The laptop turns off automatically in order to avoid the damage hardware parts... which can occur due to a higher internal temperature...

    You mention that the fans do not work

    (use of fan is at 0% because my fans are now connected to the USB ports

    I suppose that the temperature rises and the laptop turns off because cooling fan use in 0%

    To me, it looks like a typical hardware malfunction and from my point of few service technician must verify and fix it... here in the forum, we can only talk and discuss possible solutions but finally the hardware problems should be fixed by engineers of the service...

  • USB Mass Storage Device problem

    I have the HP Pavilion Elite E9120f desktop computer. Whenever I start the computer, it shows that I have USB mass storage drives, G, H, I and J. However, there is no attached USB mass storage device. No one knows why this happens? I just usually click on the removal of the safety equipment and remove false devices. I get the message "this device can now be deleted without the computer problem. This machine runs Vista and has a 1 terabyte of hard drive. Thank you

    Bart, have you checked in 'My Computer' when this happens to see if the drives are there?  Almost looks like you have a virtual drive on your computer program.  Check also in start/startup to see if he is there that nothing listed that could cause this to happen.  Four readers Ghost is really strange.
