Time Capsule manage large files

• 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!

  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.

• 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.

• Is Time Capsule partitioning without danger for files?

  Hello

  I have more storage on my Macbook Air and am frequently warned to remove the files, but all the files on my computer are completely necessary.

  I have a 3 TB Time Capsule. It is safe (and smart) to partition the Time Capsule and store files on this drive? I've seen conflicting reports on the partitioning of the time Capsule, if it's a good idea or a disastrous.

  Any help would be so appreciated.

  It is not normally possible to partition a Time Capsule. Get a regular external drive, put your files on it and thus save this drive.

• How long backups stay them airport time capsule if I make my computers of restoration

  I want to completely wipe my MacBook Pro and set it up as if new to it clear of files that I don't use often, but I want to keep these files on my Time Capsule airport.

  Ive seen a lot of posts about how after a random time ATC (airport Time Capsule) automatically deletes files that are no longer on this computer that you backed up previously.

  QUICK SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: can I have factory restore my computer and leave my old files to my Time Capsule airport or do I have to connect an external drive to ATC?

  Thank you

  Firefox

  Connect an external hard drive to your computer and put the files it contains. The files you want to keep should be at least two disks; You can fail at any time.

  This can be done when the drive is connected to the time Capsule, but supported formats are more limited, and the process will be slower.

• Transfer large files from an old computer to a new one

  Recently, I bought a computer and I want to transfer large files (ranging from 5 GB to 8 GB) to the new computer of the former, on what they are. I tried to put them on a USB stick 32 GB, but the thing does not accept files greater than 4 GB. I'm really frustrated and I need help to transfer these files.

  You can format your USB to allow him to manage larger files.  Here's how:

  1. Plug the USB on any computer
  2. Press +E on the keyboard to open the file Explorer.  Go to the 'Computer' or 'This PC' section.
  3. Right click on the USB key and choose the Format
  4. Choose the NTFS file system type from the menu drop down and use the option "quick format".

     * WARNING: All DATA on the USB key will definitely be deleted.* *.

  5. Click OK and confirm that you want to erase all data on the USB key.

  Once completed, you can then use the USB to transfer your files.

• Time Capsule freezes when I'm downloading a large file!

  Hello everyone!

  I have a very unpleasant problem with my Apple Time Capsule 2 TB 5th generation.

  I have 2 Iphones, AppleTV and 2 Macs in my wifi network, everything works great! But when I download a large file with an Internet torrent falls after 10-15 minutes... a green LED shine on the Time Capsule, Airport utility tells that is connected to the internet, but not of my devices has the internet connection. It lasts 15 to 20 minutes and internet recovers by itself. Nothing really helps with this, I tried to restart, change the settings, but nothing helped.

  WITNESS, no errors, once again, green is connected to the internet but no internet.

  My cable modem works, if I connect my appleTV to the modem cable through the cable, it will be the connection. At the same time, if I connect my appleTV to the Capsule of time via the cable when it is frozen, appleTV won't have any connection.

  The same story if I download to the hard drive of my Mac or time Capsule.

  I have an idea that Time Capsule is overheating, but again, I don't see no error.

  I'd appreciate any help!

  Torrents can overwhelm the NAT to a router table.

  In the torrent client reduce the speed and the number of seeds.

  Which modem cable do you have?

  Looks like it's a gateway device not a pure modem so the TC may be in evil mode?

  Also, who is your ISP?

  If they are moved to IPv6 which can also introduce issues.

• 3 GB MD033 Time Capsule data rate lowers up to 5 MB/s during the transfer of large files

  Hello, guys!

  My MD033 (2011) / 3GB TimeCapsule lowers throughput for the disk transfers built up to 5 MB/s.

  Is this a bug or feature?

  This bug has been present for early 2013. Since then, I changed 2 iMac 27 and 1 iMac, retina. Traded my TC three times by Apple Care coverage. Change a cable connection from TC to iMac twice. Problem remains. A persisted on all platforms of Cougar to El Capitan.

  Video which revealed a problem can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b3ve9w53ixru5rv/IMG_0700.MOV?dl=0

  It ALWAYS happens. No exclusion. Sooner or later, transfer rate drops to 3-5 MB/s

  NOTHING similar happens when I copy a large file to a PS located in the same network. 50 - 70 MB/s ever.

  I just work on the same problem thread.

  irregular flow oddly with two TCs problem

  It starts fast and then slows down to a crawl.

  I don't solve it on the other thread... so let me ask how much patience you have and the ability to diagnose network problems?

  I don't have a miracle solution... money.

  (Actually a single shot of a 3030 fix it permanently..!)

  If you are willing to continue what I'm happy to try...

  NOTHING similar happens when I copy a large file to a PS located in the same network. 50 - 70 MB/s ever.

  This indicates that the TC is not the question... It's the Mac that has problems. (PS = PlayStation?)

  In the Mac

  You must have OFF wireless.

  It is better to use Configuration ethernet with link-local only for IPv6, except if you need full IPv6... Tell me if this is the case.

  I do the same thing you are. But I can't reproduce your slowdown.

  

  Open the activity monitor and track your use of the CPU. A single process hits 30% usage during playback... Therefore, it is quite high.

  

  Also check the network. Read (green) and Write (red) make the perfect range scans.

  

  I wonder if the TCP window is set incorrectly by default in your computers... I use a Mac Mini i7 with SSD is fast but 2011.

  It is difficult while I can't reproduce the problem.

• Extraction of files from a time capsule that contains data of 3 different MacBooks. If I added a new macbook but I wanted only to select files. How can I find these files?

  If I have 3 different MacBooks stored on time capsule but I want only to add the files selected to a new macbook how I do it,

  find and retrieve files from these devices? How to retrieve the complete set of files for an individual device?

  If I wanted to get back anything, what is the process for this?

  Thank you

  Bill

  The correct method is to migrate. Use the migration assistant in the Utilities folder.

  However migrate doesn't have the fine selection you're after, if you do not want the entire folder like documents.

  You could find to manual aperture and copy the sparsebundle to Time Machine works ok... Use just traverse other disks of the main options of TM TM it in the dock.

  

  It might not allow you to recover files but I found that I could copy them into TM and then paste the files by jumping out to finder.

  Or you can migrate to another place is to say USB drive plugged into the computer and then retrieve files in a simple copy and paste... Although permissions can be a pain, and you must correct them before you can copy stuff to your own computer files.

• Time Capsule removed old sparse file

  Hi, I have one capsule 2 TB which has deleted the computer of my wife up and replaced back with 2 new fragmented files (one for my old macbook and one for my new macbook... Save to my wife but is no longer there).  Can anyone help on how to restore a deleted file sparse?

  Thank you

  J

  Almost impossible.

  The time Capsule has not deleted the backup... Only from time Machine can do without you open the disk in the Finder and deleted manually. TM can delete the backups for all sorts of reasons, but the most common is corruption. The backup failed a check and were found damaged beyond the point of usefulness.

  If you have opened the disk in the Finder and the sparsebundle TM went then restore could only be made by removing disk using undelete software as rescue diskwarrior or data... because it would break and the CT also any warranty, and extremely unlikely that work as used space is probably now assigned to the new macbook sparsebundle... I would not bother.

  Start a new backup after making sure the TC has enough space for 3 computers.

• Cannot move the files, photos at airport Time Capsule

  Hello

  I want to transfer files, photos of my Time Capsule but I don't see anywhere on my macbook. I think that something I messed up when I was put in place at the time of Christmas trees. I'll start from the beginning. Before I bought my time capsule I was connected to the internet through my wireless router, name: GMZ-83313. After that I bought my Time Capsule I set up and connected to the internet. Problem is that I have 2 networks who I can connect it is: GMZ - 83313 and Daniel Wi - Fi network (finally...) I have three really because I started to play with it more and I have network of Wi - Fi for the 3rd networkDaniel 5 GHz ;(

  I just want to add that yesterday I was able to transfer photos from my time capsule and it showed here where you can see GMZ-83313. Yesterday, it was Ant Time Capsule of Daniel it was working fine.

  

  I'm lost please help. I have attached a shot of my airport utility screen:

  

  Click gmz-83313 under the Shared heading in the Finder window

  A folder that represents the Time Capsule... hard drive that is named 'Data', unless you have changed the name... appears in the window on the right

  Double click on data to open the player and install it on the desktop computer

  You can drag and drop the files to the disc on the desktop icon or the open window

• Files of WD My Cloud Airport time capsule

  I use 2T WD My Cloud as a hard disk to backup to my MacBook Pro 13 "2.5 GHz Core i5. How can I do all of my WD My Cloud backup files, transfer to the airport time Capsule. So did anyone get an answer to this question?

  Copy and paste the sparsebundle Time Machine.

  But we do not recommend usually people do. It is much better to just start a new backup for the TC and the old backup on the WD mycloud until you build up a sufficient history... say 3 months on the TC... then you can wipe.
