The fastest way to remove a sparsebundle on a Time Capsule with two top backups

I have a time Capsule 2 TB that I currently use to save an iMac and a MacBook Pro.  I recently bought a new iMac and I decided to go back on this new computer. I moved all the files I need and installed all the apps that I used on the other.  After spending a day and a half, make a backup of the sparsebundle on my old iMac (just in case), I am now ready to get rid of this sparsebundle out of my Time Capsule, so I can start back up my new iMac to it.

Because I also backup my MBP on it, erasing everything simply is not an option at this point. I need to be able to just remove this a sparsebundle, which, of course, must be huge... I think that it is about 890 concerts at this stage.

I have been looking online for the best way to delete the sparsebundle, but don't know which method is the best and most of the answers are from 2011 or 2012, so I want to be sure there is not something new, I should try.

Here are the options that I've seen, and I hope someone can point me to one that suits, or give me another suggestion. If it happens that the best, it takes days to complete, so be it, but it would be good to know that the time goes in.

  1. Change the extension of the sparsebundle and then delete this file. This seems little risk to me, but maybe I'm overthinking it. One person said they changed from iMacbackup.sparsebundle to just iMacbackup.s and was able to remove it.  It would actually remove faster? Do not change the size, so I don't know how it works.
  2. Mount the sparsebundle by using the IP address and then delete the sparsebundle like that. This was part of a post that said in fact the best way to remove first had to access it through Windows Explorer, and then delete it. This isn't an option for me, so in the comments I post, I saw someone say to connect via SMB and delete this one. Someone said he worked within a minute for them, but I see not a lot more answers.
  3. Display content of the sparsebundle, then delete the contents of the folder-Band 5, 000-8, 000 at the same time. I just watched showed a guy do that but it took something like 4 days to remove them, and he had to reload between each 5 000 videos a YouTube it deleted. Currently I have about 102 000 items in my folder of bands, so if it takes a day to remove 10,000 of them (according to, I'm looking for both ridiculously long to remove these.)

Alternative suggestions that someone has more would be welcome.  I just want to be able to get this old one deleted and start backup to my new one, without losing my MBP backup.

I also found this link, which speaks by using Terminal Server.

  • The safest way to remove the storage

    I caught a thread several days ago, but I want to start a new. What is the safest way to remove a data store? Poster said that it removes the lun from VCenter. An answering machine for the post explains how VMware and Cormac advise unmount and detach and then they did not, but the lun would be then deleted on the side of the table. Is one better way rather than the other? VMware recommends unmount and detach because the removal of the lun has too much IO in the table? Maybe he's zeroing in on the blocks?

    I have 12 MON I have to shrink, but I obviously can't. I need to re - create. I then am curious about the best way for me to remove hosts. Delete vmfs, or remove/detach. After each of them, both of course would need to have the table to remove guest access to this device/lun.

    According to me, it seems logical to me if:

    (1) remove the data store, if you want to get rid of the LUN (followed by deleting on the side of the table)

    (2) delete the data store, if you want to get rid of its content, but want to reuse the same LUN by recreating a new store of data on it.

    My experience is too limited to comment on the possibility of entering ODA in scenario 2 (followed) by removing the logic unit number, but we can say that scenario 1, simply works.

  • The fastest way to transfer files between servers...

    I have a question regarding what would be the best option to accelerate the transfer of files between 2 servers to our VMware environment. We plan to spend our GroupWise email from netware to windows and upgrade to Groupwise (v7 to v8) at the same time. We will anticipate moving about ~ 125 gigabytes of data (files ~ 517 000) and expect that it will take several hours. We would like to minimize this time better we can so we wonder what would be the best configuration of things to get there? Two virtual machines on the same host? Two virtual machines on the data store even? On different hosts, or data warehouses? Our configurations are listed below:

    -In the course of running vSphere 4.1 ESXi

    -Data stored on 2 Dell Equalogic 5500 without

    -SAN one in each of the 2 sites, physically about 3 miles away

    -3 guests, 2 to a location and 1 in the other (same places the San)

    -Transfer of data from Netware 6.5 source, destination will be Windows 2008 R2 DataCenter

    -Links gigabit between all the elements of our VMware environment, including the link between the sites (on optical fiber).

    -3 guests are able to run all our virtual machines without overloading, so if we go to the virtual computer to another host, it is not a problem.

    We would like to know what is the best way to put everything in place for the transfer, so that we can prepare before hand. Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

    Well, the fastest way would be to offload the clone/copy to the San operation. If your configuration supports VAAI then the clone would happen completely on the SAN by assuming that the source and destination storage device is the same SAN. Would it be different San then the network factors in anything. For what is running on the same host, which would be beneficial for cloning a virtual machine (mainly memory footprint) should not take place on the network.

    I hope this helps!

  • The fastest way to the files and folder to move

    I'm moving a lot of files to another drive and it takes a long time.   I do travel in the LR library now and an alternative is to move outside of the LR and use the catalog import option to add (don't know if it's a more quickly).

    You can select multiple folders in the LR library to move to the same location or do you need to do one at a time? This would be onen advantage to do outside of LR.

    Any thoughts?

    You cannot move several files in Lightroom.

    The fastest way is to move your "Pictures" folder all OS, then re - link in Lightroom by right-clicking and choosing 'find the missing folder '.

    If you need to move several subfolders selectively, then there is no quick way. You move quickly in the BONES and then go rebinding in Lightroom or move them slowly one by one in Lightroom.

  • With the help of Apple's Time Capsule with Lightroom

    Hi, I just bought Time Capsule thinking that all my photos may be wireless sync or searchable using Lightroom. However, when I tried to open the catalog in Lightroom on Time Capsule, it is said that he can not use network drive! WHAT A BUMMER!  I always hope that there should be another way so that I could use my Time Capsule in Lightroom and do my usual regular fabrics, manage my photos and editing wireless (if it's going to be slow, is very WELL!)

    Please advice if someone has an idea to solve this problem...

    Thank you!!

    You can have all your photos on the Time Capsule disk, but the catalog must be on another internal drive or external.

    Hello

    If you can not remove the malware then follow the good advice of André for resettlement.

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
    the regular windows when you can.
