Time capsule and errors to restore backups

I'm trying to restore different backups of 2 macbooks by using the migration wizard and finder, but I do get rather a warning message that the disk image could not be opened because there is no file system mountable or that the operation has been exceeded.

Otherwise, when I try to backup using time machine on the space remaining (1 TB) disk 2 TB of the time capsule, I repeatedly get the message that: "' Time Machine has conducted an audit of the backups on 'Time Capsule'." To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup"' when I click on"start new Backup ".

Any chance to access and retrieve the data stored on this disk?

Thank you.

Once a backup Time Machine is corrupted, it is extremely difficult to recover. If you click on this message... TM will delete the existing backup and start over.

What model is the TC you use? Is it Gen4 or earlier... That is to say a flat one. If this is the case, you can remove the hard drive and put it in a door - and maybe access backup directly from the computer. If it's a Gen5... tall, then you will a lot more difficult. The hard drive is not easy to get out and it is very easy to damage the cable that connects the drive of TC in the plate.

See https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Apple_Time_Capsule

You can always try to recover from the Finder. How successful will be depends entirely on suite corrupt how backups are.

Someone has worked hard to extract their data and published some useful information that I kept at hand.

Difficulty corrupted backup TM. Re: backup Time Machine stalls after upgrade of El Capitan

(1) disable Time Machine.

(2) judgment of all index Spotlight (mdutil d - a).

(3) destroy all Spotlight indexes (rm - rf /.) Spotlight - V100) manually.

(4) fix a problem of permission of system files with Spotlight (removed a bunch of files belonged to a non-existent user in a subfolder/private/var/folders Spotlight created). No idea how they got there, but they were there, and newspapers are complaining about them causing a fatal error.

(5) index Spotlight the reactivation and let them build entirely.

(6) re - run a backup Time Machine original.

Unfortunately at the time where you get the message about corrupt backups, it is too late...

It will be a bigger and bigger problem... and I'm encouraging people to rely not on TM of the way in which they may have had in the past. I use a secondary backup to TM system... Carbon Copy clone... CCC, which performs a backup much more simple... a direct clone... It is much less likely to be corrupt and can be instantly tested by booting from the clone (using USB) external to it.

  • Why didn't I go and turn my Airport Time Capsule to be able to backup?

    Hello.

    Why didn't I go and turn my Airport Time Capsule to be able to backup? It has been like this from day one. At the point where I keep my iMac off for a few days, my Time Capsule airport must be enabled and the new in order to save. Any suggestions?

    Concerning

    Simon

    Hello Ladro Maltese,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    If I understand your message when you shut down your iMac a few days and then go back on you have to turn off your Time Capsule, then on again as well. I know how it is important for you to be able to have your Time Capsule works well. The first step that I recommend is to make sure that your Time Capsule firmware is up to date.

    This article includes information about how to manually and automatically check updates the firmware for your Time Capsule:

    Keep your base station to day.

    After updating the firmware see if the problem persists.

  • Backup to Time Capsule and an external hard drive

    Hi all

    For several years, I use as a router Time Capsule and a backup device. Recently I found information about to associate an additional external hard drive for backup. For me it's a backup just to be sure when my Time Capsule would fail.

    I found information on the internet that it was easy to switch between the two devices. I connected the external hard drive in the time Capsule.

    But after installing the external hard drive my Time Capsule is not able to back up more!

    Please, could you help me find a solution. It would be great for me.

    Many thanks in advance,

    Diana

    I suggest that you get first back ups goes again on the Time Capsule, then we can discuss adding the USB key as a second backup source.

    For now, if please power off the power and unplug the USB of the time Capsule.

    (Gear on the dock icon)... open Mac system preferences, then open Time Machine

    Make sure that Time Machine is running

    Click Add or remove disks

    Under the backup drives, make sure that the Time Capsule disk (named 'Data', unless you have changed the name) appears

    If it isn't, then click data under available disks

    Then, click on disk use

    Close the window and now, click the 'clock' Time machine at the top of the screen

    Click on NTI Backup Now and who should get backups start on the Time Capsule

  • Time capsule and extreme; Cannot create the roaming network

    Problem: when you try to create a network roaming with time capsule and extreme, the wifi hangs and the network is up and down. Here are my deets:

    TC and extreme as well have the latest firmware of the 7.7.7 are the latest generation of products, purchased in the last 12 months

    TC is connected to Arris SB6183

    ISP is Cox North san diego County

    TC is then connected to the netgear GS105. (upstairs)

    NETGEAR GS105 then connects to GS108 (down in the patch panel in the closet of the master bedroom)

    1 x GS108 port connects to extreme

    I can get the stable network and works correctly as long as I don't have connected and extreme.

    I followed the instructions provided by apple in their "how to set up a roaming network.

    I have hard reset the devices apple repeatedly in my attempt to get things to work

    I started a Wan shortly ago at the connected WiFi and that was stable and work for not more than 30 minutes and then it went offline.

    So here I am now. Unable to get back online and stable with two apple devices connected network.

    System was stable and working well before the upgrade to 7.7.7. I had a wifi connected network not a roaming network at the time.

    Any suggestion would be great and really appreciated.

    Thank you

    After screenshots of the TC and AE installing airport utility.

    I suspect that you simply have something set wrong...

    Main error is to use extend wireless when it is connected by ethernet... This will create a loop and bring down the network.

    The two units must be defined to create a wireless network... both must use the same name (SSID) and the same password, but must be set to different channels.

    It is almost impossible in this case crashing the network since the two are completely independent Wireless Access Points... (WAP).

    The TC must be in router mode... EI must be in the bridge (bridge mode off on the network tab.)

    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.

  • Airport Time Capsule and change provider to wide band

    I recently changed my broadband provider and need help with my Airport Time Capsule. I currently have backup via an ethernet cable wireless for Macbook Pro and iMac, Plug and connect every day (although I've never been certain that it's the right or even the simplest method.)

    (1) that I have to back my TC and, if so, should what steps I take?

    (2) should what changes I make on the iMac and Macbook Pro?

    (3) when I bought the TC on the local Apple Store, I was told there was a way in which I could have the TC located in another room of the House, connected wireless constantly and discreetly safeguard to avoid Plug and connect the cable manually each time.  I have sought confirmation of this but could not find any instructions.  Expert advice would be very welcome.

    Thank you very much.

    If your router broadband main has changed, it is often necessary to reset the TC factory and redo the installation.

    I don't know if your main router has been changed as well as the offshore service provider broadband, but if so, then, reset is necessary. Only if the TC was bridged it can be left to himself... so to speak.

    1. to answer this, I need to understand why your backup is not configured for continuous backup now.

    2. of course, it is difficult to answer this question without knowing 1. but I'm not sure why you are constantly plug and unplug the TC.

    How the iMac's internet? It is connected by ethernet to the main ISP router and then you are exchanging autour cables because the TC is not configured in the network?

    Same thing with the MBP...

    3. what said you was not quite correct...

    The TC, FAILED to connect on the main wireless router or the modem... it must use ethernet. However, ethernet can run in the next room in the House and can backup from there without problem... more wireless computers.

    You can do wireless links by adding a second router wireless to apple... but makes it much more complicated but also less reliable. Wireless links are unreliable enough without adding a second.

    The best configuration is the TC directly connected by short cord to the main modem or to the router provided by your ISP. Then tell me the make and model of this device.

    If you were hoping for hitting the autonomous TC and connect wireless to the main router which is not going to happen. Apple makes their routers NOT interface with any other wireless brand.

    Tell me how the iMac connects to internet and MBP as well.

  • Time Capsule does not remove older backups.

    Our 2 TB time capsule is full and no more deletes older backups so new back ups fail.  We have two Macs with El Capitan. What can we do for the capsule of time delete old backups?

    Unfortunately, when the proposed backup is too large, Time Machine can not delete older files to make room for new backups.

    Your options... in terms of more expensive down... are:

    (1) add an another Time Capsule and begin to go to backups

    (2) add a USB hard drive to your existing Time Capsule and start to go back up

    (3) erase the hard drive on the existing time Capsule and start backups

  • setting up time capsule and express wired after disconnection of the airport

    I have a 2 TB Time Capsule and three 3 wired express airport throughout my house.  I know that when I added first the cable express, that I had to call apple to change some settings.  Now I can't service because they are more than a year and after a recent quick breakdown (two or three) power is the airport expresses link is more and a bunch of my settings seem to have changed on the Time Capsule.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you

    If you think there are setting changes, then it would be better to start over.

    • First of all, you want to make a 'factory' reset on all of your base stations. This will return them to their "out-of-the-box" configuration Once finished, leave them turned off.
    • Then, we put up the Time Capsule (TC). Since it has been reset, it will broadcast a Wi - Fi unsecured network with a network name of something like: Apple network NNNNNN.
    • Use AirPort Utility on your iPhone, Mac or PC to configure the TC as a stand-alone wireless router. In other words, configure it to provide a secure WiFi network.
    • Once the TC has been configured, verify that the clients on your network can access the Internet with it.
    • If he succeeds, proceed to the next step. If this is not the case, stop and post back with your results.
    • We will now configure all of your base stations for a roaming network.
    • Power-up one of the three stations based AirPort Express.
    • Once again, you will need to use AirPort Utility to continue. The utility must now find the Express, and if all goes well, it will offer to the Express allows to extend the TC using Ethernet. It's what you want and just go through the steps automated window 'Installation '. And then on actually.
    • Do the same for the other two express base stations.
  • How can implement you not with Tim Capsule and AirPort their simulation on the iMac?

    Hello

    How can implement you not with Time Capsule and AirPort their simulation on the iMac?

    I don't know what you're asking.

    AirPort Extreme is a wireless router.

    A Time Capsule airport is an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive for data storage.

    An iMac is a Mac computer.

    An iMac is not a wireless router, so he is unable to perform the functions of a wireless router.

  • Can what comparison be made between time capsule and Smart RG s505 wireless modem router for wifi

    Can what comparison be made between time capsule and Smart RG s505 wireless modem router for wifi

    Superior...

    After all, the chip is mainly a modem.

    Wireless is there but not designed as the primary connection.

    Wireless 802.11n 300Mbps AP with 2 x 2 MIMO Wireless bridge, WDS multiple SSID, including isolated invited SSID WiFi QoS (WMM) and PowerSave wireless security: • Wi - Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2) • AES, TKIP, WEP encryptio

    It is the Wireless N standard.

    The TC is dual-band simultaneous AC1750... even if in fact apple never leaves anything use 300mbit on the 2.4 GHz is more like AC1450... It is also 3 streams on both bands not 2 x 2.

    The fact that aid.

    The only thing to note is that a router from Apple can join never a router wireless not apple... so, there must always be plugged in by ethernet.

    Apple Extreme, Time Capsule and Express on the same system, what is the best way to set it up so that all devices smoothly from one end of the House to another?

    I'm going to assume that you plan to have wireless devices.

    Let's say that the Capsule is your "main" router  If this is the case, then it must be located in the House, so that the distance between the time Capsule is the same for the outside walls of the House.

    Then, on the 'left' side of the House, looking for an airport to midway between the Capsule and time of the outer wall of the House. Do the same thing the 'right' side of the House.

    In other words, each of the two airports that "extend" the wireless signal are located at equal distance from the Capsule of time... but they are in opposite ends of the House.

    If you intend to interconnect all the airports and Time Capsule using a permanent, Ethernet wired... which by far is the 'best' way to put in place a network in terms of performance and reliability... then you can locate one of the devices anywhere you want.

  • Time capsule 'unexpected error' despite the reset and the IPv6 local link configuration

    Hello

    I try to use a time capsule that I have not used for a long time to backup my mac.

    I have adware on chrome and safari that I cannot get rid of (trovi) despite several attempts (extensions, resets etc.)

    I decided to upgrade to el capitan, so that I could use software removal that does not work on Lion, but now I can't save because time capsule gives me "error unexpecetd".

    I have reset the TC and I configured link-local IPv6, but am still having the same problem.

    Anyone know if it is a question can be resolved?

    Thank you!

    It is possible that software that you download to help get rid of the adware etc... blocking the work TM... affects a lot of bad a antivirus software on Mac OS. McAfee is one of the worst.

    What operating system are you currently using?

    There is no need to upgrade... but it is necessary to clean install.

    Download and use Carbon Copy Cloner. You can use it for free for a month... I highly recommend you do the backup on a USB key connected to the Mac, so it can be made bootable... and then can be tested immediately.

    You can use the TC and the backup to that... but you can't boot from network drives.

    I can recommend you to do a clean install... just wipe the mac and start again... It's extremely better than any software removal tools.

  • Airport Time Capsule and WD MyBook

    I'm a newbie Macbook Pro owner, about a week now, El Capitan running.

    I've just hung up my Airport Time Capsule (3 t) and it seems to work, as the reports of Time Machine backup complete.  I am also connected to the WiFi Airport.

    The Installation Guide says I can connect a hard drive via the USB port.  I have connected a WD MyBook USB port; It is in the format exFAT and contains the data from my old computer to Windows 7.

    What should I do to make this available for the Macbook Pro?  I don't see anywhere in the finder.

    The time Capsule cannot read USB drives to NTFS or exFAT format. Plug it directly into the Mac.
