• Time Machine backs up only on the local network connection

  Hello

  I have a LAN Ethernet and a wireless connection to the same network. Is it possible to force the backup Machien time to use only the ethernet LAN connection in all cases? I want to warn the TMB to limit the bandwidth of my wireless network.

  Ethernet to be the highest network interface ordered to force, and as long as you're connected Ethernet, it be the interface for all traffic.

  System-> network preferences

  

  If you want seamless switching between WiFi and Ethernet, then your router book the same IP address for the interface Ethernet and WiFi connections.  This is done differently by the router of different brands and models.  For an Airport Extreme/Time Capsule, it would be done by giving your Ethernet and TCP/IP WiFi of the same name from DHCP reservations settings, and then associate the DHCP reservation name with an IP address in Airport Extreme network settings.

• Time Machine backs up too much upward

  Hello

  I recently bought a Capsule 2 TB and my MacBook Pro using Time Machine backup. When first installed, I've caused a problem with the process and after that TM works perfectly, save every hour, I changed the name of the time Capsule and things this is ugly even if I tried to change the name back. I put the time Capsule at its factory, deleted all the previous data backup settings, it relinked on my Mac and restarted the initial upward.

  Everything looks fine but now Time Machine back up to several times per hour, and at random intervals, sometimes without be planned. It doesn't seem to be taking additional storage on the Time Capsule, so it's more an annoyance that there are has multiple windows when I enter Time Machine or duplication of files. There are also 2 or 3 for each day more than 24 hours ago. I started back up only when it is plugged. I don't think that there is a problem with my power adapter/cable.

  Any advice? Thank you very much.

  Time Machine is designed to backup to local drive, if the normal backup target is disconnected.

  I recommend you do a reset of time Machine.

  Here see A4. He is old, but the method is still valid.

  Then reconfigure for backup of your TC.

  Disable backups when the target is disconnected.

  See http://pondini.org/TM/30.html

  IMHO, it may be useful to consider buying Carbon Copy Cloner or other backup software. Stop time Machine and use something that is more reliable and more controllable. It can back up to CT as does TM.

• Old Time Machine back up is not recognized as such on my newly formatted mac

  Hello I have a mac pro 2009 edition, running on OS Yosemite

  I had an external HD to format Time Machine (TM), where I saved all my mac on. However I had to change my mac HD because it crashed and I installed a new SDS. I didn't recover all of my data on the new SSD, but I want to be able to access time machine to restore the items selected as iPhoto and iTunes. But when I plug my external, the computer reads as a regular external and I can't access it through TM and TM TM wonder to redefine a new external for backup of the TM.

  If I select my old external as the new external TM will erase all old backup?

  Is it possible that TM recognizes older externally as Time Machine back up? or is that, with each new HD, TM is new?

  Thank you

  If you now select this drive for Mac with the new HD files o the drive will be not changed/deleted.

  When you reinstall OSX and then try to use a TM backup you must first select this drive. What happens when you select this drive in the configuration of the TM and then try to restore the files through TM interface.

  Time Machine - Frequently asked Questions

• Is - this time machine back up the record of the iCloud drive in the Finder?

  Background: I recently started using iCloud drive on my iMac with OS X El Capitan 10.11.5. I also continue to use a 3 GB CAP to automatically back up my computer using time machine.

  Discussion: I copied some files more in player iCloud (under Favorites in the Finder) folder to appear on my drive to iCloud. Obviously the synchronization service iCloud provides is great, but I want to that I am also able to backup these files on my time capsule as well for peace of mind, and it would be a nuisance if I constantly have to move files out of the iCloud drive to another location on my computer to make sure that the files are also backed up regularly on the time capsule.

  Question: Time Machine also backs up everything (all types of files - excel, pdf, word, etc.) that I added in iCloud drive folder on my computer?

  Thank you!

  Yes. Time Machine back to iCloud by car, but not where you'd expect.

  Look for the path below in your Time Machine backup...

  

  It's YOURdriveNAME > users > YOURaccountNAME > library > mobile Documents > com-apple-CloudDocs

• Time machine backup now only 3 months?

• How can I PREVENT Time Machine back on the wake from sleep?

  I leave my machine on the work week and when I finished the night, I SLEEP there.

  In the morning, he has no need to backup first thing. But Time Machine insists on execution from the moment I have a mouse and he wakes up from his sleep.

  It was fine when it was new and fast, but now he is old and slow (especially - but mostly because I really push to the limit with multiple Safari Windows opens and executes a large number of software design at the same time, I have to do for work).

  My question is simple:

  How to tell Time Machine to does not have a return on the wake from sleep? or;

  Say this do not back up from 06:00 to noon? or;

  Is it a third party plug in that allows me to customize the time Machine more?

  Another idea on what just said or it to no return for even the first hour or two when it comes in the morning or even in any time to sleep during the day. Automatically.

  I also have my drive main external file mirroring AND use Super Duper once per day to fool the internal drive (I total plan control) AND back up all files off site (I total plan control). But, Time Machine is also always at hand to get it done. If only I had a little control over it, so she did not have the necessary step back up the minute I sit down. Significantly slow down my work time productive morning!

  Time Machine really shouldn't bog down your machine that badly.

  If Time machine running interferes with your ability to use the machine, then something else is wrong. It shouldn't affect performance in this way.

  If it's all just "annoying"... Well... Why is this a big deal?

  Maybe you should run a report Etrecheck and post the results here. If something is moving your system, which can help us identify what it is.

• Time Machine backs up with different users

  Hello

  I have 4 users put in place on my iMac and regularly run a time machine backup.  Having never had to use the backup, I wanted to check.  The backup TM covers all 4 users, or is it just back up the files for the user who is logged?

  Thank you

  The best way for you to get an answer to this question is for use you to try actually TM to restore a deleted file.

  I am amazed at the number of people assumed that their backups are working properly, but the first time they check is when they try to get back it after a HARD drive failure...

  Anyway, unless you deliberately excluded them for a reason, you should find that all the user files are included in backups of TM. Default TM backup almost everything, apart from a few temporary files and caches.

• Time Machine, you see only not the ssd internal

  Today, I had my old OWC replaced for a bigger Samsung 850 EVO SSD SSD internal flash drive.

  I named the new SSD, the same as the old.

  The new SSD is the boot disk and it works without problems.

  But now I see that Time Machine does not see this new SSD (he did see and save the old).

  This rather new Samsung SSD is not supported by Time Machine and therefore not show under the volumes available?

  I already tried the following Terminal command:

  : write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1

  But no success with that and in my case it is an interior volume, perhaps the command is wrong then?

  Or am I mistaking here and are the Time Machine preferences "Select disk" only discs showing where you can save to and not FROM (in the 'Options' section, you can exclude certain things and it shows the disc)?

• Back up a disk hard PC network to an external drive using Time Machine?

  I use an old iMac to back up one external drive to another using SilverKeeper; the two elements are obsolete, but functional. It is the logic board died and I could buy a new iMac, but SilverKeeper does not work with the new OS. Can TimeMachine backup a specific folder to a network PC on another hard disk drive external?

• Time Machine backup is not Backing Up all my files

  On my Mac, I used about 450 GB of 500 GB available on my hard drive (as shown in 'about my Mac'). But when you click on the Menulet of Time Machine with a Time Machine backup on an external hard drive, it says "Backing up 28.68 35,65 GB".  Why is it only backup 35,65 GB on my 450 GB of files & data?

  Thank you!

  Time Machine backs up only changes since the last backup on your Mac.

  The first backup, Time Machine copies on everything from the Mac to the time Capsule. After that, changes are saved with each pass.
