Time Machine backs up too much upward

• 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 is too large, that is not true, said

  After the upgrade to OS Sierra, Time Machine always tells me that the backup is too big to fit on the external drive that I use. I erased the disc and checked all volumes, I don't want to back up. He always tells me that the backup is 2 TB.

  My boot drive has 155 GB in use, I do not understand why TM attempts to use 2 TB. I've removed the preferences, he always tells me that it is too big. The external drive has 1 TB of free space.

  Any suggestions?

  If you open Applications > utilities > Terminal and paste the following command and press return, what is the result:

• Time machine restore bugs too?

  I have MacBookPro Early 2015 with ElCapitan 10.11.4 installed on it. Offlate, MBP started erratic behavior, to be insensitive and frozen in the workplace.  Do not take the keyboard or touchpad controls.

  I took the latest TimeMachine backup.

  My question is if I restore the Mac with latest TimeMachine backup, he would restore the bugs too? If Yes, then what is the method to solve the bugs. And then, what is the use of Time Machine restore?

  If Yes, then what is the method to solve the bugs. And then, what is the use of Time Machine restore?

  The easiest solution is to simply remove the software that is causing the "bugs".

  The system itself and not operating not cause the problems you are having. They are probably caused by third-party software, but could be a problem with your trackpad or hard drive.

• Time machine backs up only 5 GB?

  Hello

  I have an external hard drive that I've implemented a Time Machine drive and I make monthly backups to it.

  This is my second time back up my MacBook Pro, but the backup has been only 5GBs and it took 15 minutes while my first backup was 250GBs and it took hours, is that? He is only backing up changed data? My Macbook is always supported up to 100% (the files, settings...)?

  It adds only the changed data. So nothing wrong with that: it's still all there.

• 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.

• 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.

• No more space, Time Machine backs up several Minis on Time Capsule

  Time machine pop ups a warning window informing that he is y isn´t more than space for backup, even when there are 10 GB available.

  I have 5 mini mac, based his account on the same Time Capsule (v 7.6.7) backup, the backup process will be performed once a day. The TC is connected via a cable (1 GB) ethernet, wireless node is stopped.

  Some of them keep backup but to other Don t.

  T.M. Shouldn´t delete older backups, related to the Mac mini makes the backup?

  What I usually do is delete the backup (via the shared disk) for this mini and start again, but after a month, the same message appears.

  I Don t know if's got to backups in T.C. are just a single disk image (picture disc sparsebundle) for each account, not folders with dates, as does my macbook using T.M. on an external drive.

  I just can´t a solution to index?

  Thanks for any help

  I Don t know if's got to backups in T.C. are just a single disk image (picture disc sparsebundle) for each account, not folders with dates, as does my macbook using T.M. on an external drive.

  N ° it is in fact the way that Time Machine is designed to operate. The method is different between those locally fixed and network drives.

• 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.

• Can time machine back up to an internal storage drive?

  I have a 1 TB storage drive on my mac mini and have been back up my boot to that drive, but it doesn't seem to work. Should you use an external hard drive?

• Time machine: old back to merge with another of

  Hello

  I have a problem my back disc is full. And I have similar backups. whenever time machine backs up all the files (I thought it automatically adds only new... boh.) Anyway could you suggest me how to merge the old backups in order to keep a backup with older and newer files in the corresponding folders? Can I do it manually, but what paths of files across? I know on the restoration in disk utility, but is used to copy a disc shape to another, I read. I have all in one disc, and I want to do new backup now that the mac is new. Thank you very much. Guido

  I suggest that you forget about 'fusion' backups Time Machine. Time Machine backups are complex, they contain several levels of permissions and access rules to prevent users from editing, display or delete data belonging to others (or system files).

  Time Machine also manages the size of backup itself, so even if you manage to make "a big backup" eventually he will get full & TM will remove the oldest copies (often without warning).

  Apple don't support editing, merging, or otherwise change the backups Time Machine.

  You would be wiser to upgrade the old backup in a safe place and start a new backup to a new disk. If you need old files you can retrieve them from the old backup.

  Another option is to make a copy of your important data for archiving. Simply copy these files to another disk instead of depend only on the Time Machine backups.

• How much space for Time Machine backups

  Hello

  Is there a rule for how much space you may want to allow for Time Machine backups?

  I would like to partition the drive to have a room reserved for Time Machine back ups only.  I realize that it is a personal preference.

  Each individual backup occupies approximately 790 GB.  But somehow I have 6 months of backups that supposedly take up only 880 GB on the disk.

  At this time the backups of my other drive back to 6 months in time.

  Fortunately, I never had to go back a few more days to recover a file.

  Is there a reasonable amount of space to allocate for backups, based on current usage of disk?

  Thank you

  Minimum would, of course, the size of the internal drive.

  Double the quantity is sufficient

  Triple the amount if you want a value years from TM backups

  I am convinced that these are independent external drives from your main hard drive of Machines
