• My Time Capsule is full. What should I do to keep it to archive my data?

  My Time Capsule says she's full and confiscate any more. How to continue to back up my files?

  Use Airport utility to erase the backup disk in order to start fresh.

  Time Machine deletes the old files if they have been deleted from the source when he needs space on the backup to a new incremental backup drive. Time Machine "Jules Destrooper" its backups. over 24 hours, old backups, except the first of the day; These "dailies", old more 30-day backups, except the first day of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there is room.

  How long a backup rest file depends on how long it was on your Mac before you deleted, assuming that you do at least one backup per day. If she was there for less than 24 hours, it will be maintained for at least a month. If she was there at least a week, it will be maintained as long as there is room. By default, Time Machine backs up every hour. This can not be changed in Time Machine. There are third-party utilities that will modify the as Editor of Time Machinebackup interval.

  Time Capsule sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but not descended. So, from the point of view of the user of the time Capsule, it seems that no space was released, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.

  Once Time Machine finds he can't free up enough space for new backup it reports the disk is full. You can erase the backup disk and start over or get a larger drive.

• Add new Mac full time Capsule (delete old backups)

  So I have an old time Capsule (mini mac in the form). It is almost full. It backs up all three machines. We just be removed and replaced with a new one.

  The new machine will have to be added, but the TC is too full.

  I'm happy to delete the backups from the machine, it has replaced, however the machine is no longer on the network and does not remove its own backups.

  I can't delete the full backup set and leave all three machines.

  How can I delete just the backups of the machine which is now out of the network? SSH? tmutil on one of the machines still present?

  You can access a backup from another machine and work with it. The answer is here: visit Time Machine FAQ of Pondini helps with Time Machine. It is a vast site with almost everything that you need for using Time Machine. You will not find a better resource for Time Machine in one place.

• Full Time capsule not deleting files

  I have my MacPro & iMac saved to Time Machine. It works very well to find a lost file.

  BUT, when HD 2 TB recently completed, he ceased to backup and I had to wipe the HD & start over.

  I thought that Time Machine would sequentially remove oldest files, once that it filled to the top.

  I have check the disk (Option - Menu TM) & it checked OK

  Is there a setting that I missed?

  Thanks for the tips!

  ... John

  Time Machine has no problem deleting old incremental files to make room for the new files in incremental backups.  The keyword here is 'extra', which are small files that take up very little space.

  But... and this is a big BUT... If the Time Capsule disk is full, and you try to save a large amount of data that normal... What can happen if you have recently updated the operating system on your Mac, or added large files from media or other types of files for the beams of Mac... then Time Machine, because it can not remove enough files to make room for the new more normal backup.

  In this case, you have a few options:

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

  (2) add a USB key to the current time Capsule and start new backups to go

  (3) clear the Time Capsule disk and start over again with new backups

  If you don't mind clear on the Time Capsule backup history and start all over again, it is of course the most economical way to continue. If you want to keep your old backups intact, then go with option 1 or 2.

• Full time Capsule

  TIme Capsule 2 TB is almost full and doesen't work properly.

  Is there a way to reset?

  Not sure what you mean by "reset" here.

  When the Capsule is full and cannot continue the backups, you have 3 options to base... in order of most expensive on toward the bottom.

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

  (2) add a USB key to the Time Capsule, copy the backups on the Time Capsule on the USB key, then erase the time Capsule and start new backups.

  (3) clear the Time Capsule disk and start over. Of course, the disadvantage of this method is that you lose your old backups.

  Alternatively, "reset" means something else. If so, please provide details.

• 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?

  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.

• How to perform a manual backup full with airport Time Capsule

  I want to switch to OS X Yosemite.  Before I do that, I want to perform a full manual backup of my system at the airport Time Capsule.  I was not able to find instructions on how to perform a manual backup by using the existing time Capsule.  Thank you.

• Capsule full time as his double registered an external drive

  Hello

  I have a standard mac 500 GB and a separate external drive from Seagate.  The Seagate has itunes and is probably 500 GB used out of 2 TB. The Mac is probably 350 GB full.  These two back up to a 2 TB Timecapsule. Its been fortunately backup for awhile but some how seems to have saved double the seagate as well its economy to its full.

  So, I need to restore the Timecapsule to delete the previous info and copy information that is held on the Seagate and Mac.

  I had a glance through some of the headings on the Airport utility, but can't see all the options. I wouldn't say I'm tech savvy.  All advice would be great.

  Thank you

  You say here that you want to clear the contents of the Time Capsule hard drive and start over with new backups of your Mac and the Seagate drive attached to the Mac?

  If this is the case, I suppose you understand that you will lose your backup history of the Mac and Seagate drive when you do this, since tit Time Capsule disk will be wiped clean when it is cleared.

  Please confirm.

  My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.

  Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

  The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

  Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

  You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

  By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

  Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

• Time Machine (on Mac) does not detect the airport Time Capsule

  Originally posted on the page of the airport, but seems to be the better question for this group. Sorry for the double post

  Looking for advice on how to get the Time Machine utility for access to my Time Capsule. I use an iMac in late 2012 with MAC OS 10.12 TimeCapsule is 2015 7.7.7 running latest firmware. Airport utility is the latest firmware 6.3.7.

  When I run the application Time Machine, Time Capsule is not detected. I tried the two WiFi and with cables connected Ethernet (not tried USB yet) and my Time Capsule doesn't have a lightning bolt or firewire ports.

  Open Airport utility & see the airport time capsule. I can see all connected devices, including the MAC, but no prompt activation Time Machine on the Time Capsule.

  I recently used TM on this iMac with a G-Technology drive. It auto detects the time machine and executes a back up. But airport Time Capsule will not.

  Any suggestions?

  Sierra has been problematic with the TC.

  1. make sure you don't have any charge virus protection software. In fact, I would say that disable all software 3rd part at the moment.

  2. make sure that you can actually write to disk of TC.

  Attach the TC disc in the finder and copy a file on disk, you can delete it later... It's just to ensure that you have full write permission. If it does not for the most part, you won't be able to use Time Machine... If you can then try TM immediately...

  Just to be clear, the TC is a network device. You have tested with ethernet and wireless... Ok.. They are only suitable methods. You cannot use USB. And clearly, TC has never had nor will never be ports Firewire or lightning.

  3. no chance that a reset complete TC. This will not delete the files on the hard drive, but you must make sure that the device is configured on the current computer.

  4. There are many positions in these days... read through them and do some research. Sierra is a bleeding edge new... So wait you to spend a lot of the precious liquid if you choose to be an early adopt.

• Restore from Time capsule, but new files on the target machine, won't be wiped out

  I'm trying to move files between two MacBook, however, I have been using the new MacBook for a while (like a year) and a lot of files/images/person of the most recent data on it (dataset B for example).

  So I recently did a full backup on my older MacBook (say A Dataset).  I wonder if I do a "restore" time capsule backup (data set A) against my new MacBook, the new dataset would B be destroyed?

  My desired outcome is to have the dataset A + B all in my new MacBook.

  DataSet B backup, restoration of A DataSet, then restore DataSetB.

  Please, do not restore OS X from A DataSet.

• Restore the missing applications after Time Capsule

  I just had to restore my 2010 Mac Book Pro using Time Machine and a recent full backup on my Time Capsule.

  There are a lot of important apps now gone, including the App Store, Safari, disk utility and many others.

  I have considered installing Sierra to correct this, but cannot access the app store via Chrome or Firefox

  I have all my documents, etc., on the Time Capsule so able to perform a clean installation of Sierra, if I was able to download

  I run the front last Sierra OS, well that may not even check that, as clicking on 'about my Mac', produces nothing at all...

  Thank you

  Yes, clean, install the OS then migrate your files using the migration wizard.

  It's actually the best way to install an operating system.

  And next time you want to make a backup that works... use a Chronosync, Carbon Copy Cloner or superduper etc.. Time Machine is not reliable.

• Time Capsule do not write back ups.

  I have a continuous problem with Time Capsule, writing of backups.  After having no problems for a couple of years, TC is now fails to write backup every 3-4 weeks and I found no cause or a solution to the problem.

  TC shows well in the finder, the sparsebundles are there.  Time Machine creates the sparsebundles as usual and will make backups normally for about 3 or 4 weeks.  The error message is displayed "Backup failed" and said that Time Machine is unable to write to the file.  At this time there the existing backup is lost, I have found no way to recover.   I wiped the hard drive via Airport utility, recreated the backup only to fail again in 3 to 4 weeks.

  I've set up another 3 TB HD connected to the iMac USB and have TM write backups on it without problem while the HD TC continues to fail.

  MPB worked until this week and today shows the same error.

  My setup is pretty simple.  iMac connected to TC via ethernet, MBP connected via ethernet.  iMac backup to internal 2 TB on TC's MBP backup 1 TB external connected to the USB TC.

  Apple support suggested that the problem is a bad ethernet cable.  I tried to replace the ethernet cable, no change.  Turn off ethernet using wifi, no change.

  It is not a problem of space, on both drives only half of the available space is used.

  Someone at - he speculate as to the cause and the cure.  It seems to me that the problem is related to the connectivity of TC, the ports are bad?   This is my 3rd TC in 6 years, not real happy with reliability!

  Unfortunately, the TC is probably more reliable products Apple... my opinion.

  It seems that the surface of the disc to the hard drive of TC has one or more faults that are causing backups corrupted after some time. The only good solution is to replace the hard drive inside the TC or replace the TC itself.

  If you think that the surface of the disk is OK on the TC (I don't have, based on the experience), the only other thing to try is a full erase of the TC hard drive using zero on AirPort Utility.  It will probably take 4 to 6 hours or more depending on the size of the player you have on your TC.

  If you don't want to lose the backups to other Macs, you need to copy to another drive before you delete the TC, then copy on once the operation is complete.

• Mac cannot connect to time capsule

  Currently, I had to do a full factory reset on my time capsule to put in place a new DSL modem. now, or computer, my MacBook Pro and my iMac can't find time capsule to do back ups. What is the procedure to get my back ups return?

  You mentioned that you have reconfigured your Time Capsule to work with a new DSL modem, but does not know if you reset the path used by every Mac to find the time Capsule.

  If you don't reset the path to find the time on each Mac Capsule, then each Mac still remembered how to find your Time Capsule on the 'old' network, but they do not know how to find the time on your 'new' network Capsule.
