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.

  • Why my Time Machine backups do not take many hours?

    I recently changed my external backup of a disk in a big flash drive backup.  Some of the Time Machine backups take several hours, sometimes all night or more.  General info on Time Machine Prefs will show large backups, as now "backup 39.6 89.7 MB, with a remaining time" (the flash drive is only about a quarter of full.)  Is it normal for a backup of the USB?  Thank you.

    How the drive is formatted? It should be in Mac OS Extended journaled.

  • Time Machine backups do not complete

    My main problem is when I start a Time Machine backup, it works quickly for an hour or two and then slows down to a crawl and never ends.

    I'm on 10.11.1.  I reformated my Time Machine backup disk to try to begin to clean up two or three times and I have the same problem.

    It started when I updated to El Capitan.  My original backup has been corrupted.  I reformatted the drive and now I am at this point.

    These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

    Please launch the Console application in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    The title of the Console window should be all Messages. If it isn't, select

    SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ all Messages

    in the list of logs on the left. If you don't see this list, select

    List of newspapers seen ▹ display

    in the menu at the top of the screen bar.

    In the upper right corner of the Console window, there is a search box to filter. Enter the 'Start-up' (without the quotes). You should now see messages in the log with the words "departure * backup," where * represents one of the words "automatic", "manual" or "standard".

    Each message in the journal begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the time stamp of the last 'Start' message that matches the start of a normal backup. Now

    DELETE THE WORD 'Start' TO THE TEXT BOX

    so that all messages are showing and highlight the newspaper at the same time, you noted. Select the time-stamped messages since then until the end of the backup or the end of the log if it is not clear. Copy to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command + V.

    If all you see are messages that contain the word 'Start-up', you clear the text field.

    Time Machine: Do not back up available.

    I have a number of issues at hand today.  I'll try to give a bit of history - so I apologize for the story.

    Replaced my drive HARD crashed in October 2015.  I restored Mt upward, everything worked fine.  However, my TM return will not save - and does not sense Oct 2015.

    I wiped the APTC and did a factory reset.  But it will not save. When I select the drive of the APTC, I get this: of the disc have been replaced or deleted, or someone may be trying to fool your computer into the incorrect disk backup. "Try to eject the disk image." I eject it, restart the backup process. The TM shows my old backup information (see screen capture below).

    When I get the device works, I said can't find the backup to John...

    Please notify.

    iMac - El Capitan 10.11.3

    TimeMachine uses the single disc Login name disk or something else instead.

    It is lost in the transition from the disk dead again.

    Quit TimeMachine.

    Connect the TC, open the TM preferences, click "Select disk", select the TC and then click on the button "Disk use".

    Click on the 'Options' button, then drag the disks/Partitions that you do not want to be saved in the window, then click on "Save".

    It may be that TM starts a new backup (which will take a while).

  • Restored HD from a Time Machine backup of my old iMac (stolen) from my new MacBook Pro.  Not all the files have been restored.

    My iMac 27 "(2011) so my wife 13 '' MacBook Pro (2011) were recently stolen after our House was robbed.  My wife got a new MacBook Pro and I restored it successfully its data (selected "backup restore Time Machine" during the installation of its new MacBook Pro).  However, I also got a new 15 "MacBook Pro in lieu of the iMac 27".  I have, once again, selected "Restore from Time Machine backup" (selected the iMac as the backup source) when installing my new MacBook Pro.  When it was finally over, I told Time Machine to inherit from the backup.  Unfortunately, none of the files in the My Documents folder or the photos in my photo library have been restored.  Was it a bad idea to try to use the backup of the iMac as a source for the MacBook Pro (both running El Capitan)?

    is it possible that your documents are stored on another drive which was not part of the backup plan? or is the HD in the big enough MBP to inherent the old backup.

    If you open the time machine with the original backup disc, you should be able to browse the content

    If the files are found, you can restore by right-clicking (or CTRL + left mouse)

  • Disk utility does not not what Time Machine backup connected / file Vault question?

    Hi all

    I'm on Mac OSX El Capitan 10.11.3 (15 d 21) on a Macbook Pro 8.2 (early 2011)

    Previously, when File Vault was not activated I've been able to backup on my external drive for Time Machine (1 TB store Transcend jet) and the drive was visible when opening disk utility no problem...

    Now since I have encrypted my first Macintosh HD using File Vault, my disk utility program will not load when my Time Machine (unencrypted) external backup disk is connected, and I can not back up by using the application Time Machine (the player is simply not visible).

    When my external drive for Time Machine is not connected, my disk utility opens very well and I can see my Macintosh HD all external USB drives.

    I tried to re-boot, I tried to disconnect all external devices, I tried to connect the Time Machine drive with two USB ports and I tried to open the first disk utility, and then connect the external drive for Time Machine without success.

    Anyone else have experience with this problem or something similar? Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much!

    Connect your Time Machine backup disk

    Open a Terminal

    Diskutil type: list

    Paste the results

  • Time machine, overwrite is not old backups

    Hello

    At home I'm under Time machine on two MacBook Pros, each with 500 GB of HARD drive.

    Time Capsule has 3 TB, and it has worked for years with no problems.

    At my office, I use Time machine on a WD MyCloud to have a website out of backup.

    I booked 2 TB for the time machine backup, but on the MyCloud WD, time machine does not replace the old backups.

    I work on a MacBook Pro of the retina loaded with El Capitan.

    What should I do to have time Machine by replacing older backups on WD MyCloud as well?

    Thank you very much

    Mokum

    Time Machine backup incremental backups after the initial backup.  It does not replace backups.  Time Machine only deletes older backups to free up space when the backup drive is full.

  • restored my time machine backup mac - restarts not successfully

    After virus/malware unusable safari, I used my 'time machine' backups to restore my entire system (10.10.5).  I had the "restore msg."

    By design, it restarts.  I get the apple logo and progress indicator, but the bar spend about a third of the way and restarting stops there.  I tried

    reboot several times with the same results.  I then repeated the procedure for restoring above with a backup taken a week before and got the successful restore msg

    but had the same result with the reboot.  Don't know what to do next.

    Starts in recovery (command-R) Mode and choose the option Install OS X. Have it reinstall the OS without wiping the drive. Who should make the drive to be bootable again.

  • error - 36 on Time Machine backup

    Help! I went on vacation for a week of my iMac running that yosemite was working fine when I left him. I left it turned on on my back, he had frozen, and disk utility showed that the player needed repair but it was irreparable. So I started from a system disk and deleted from my drive, hoping to restore from my Time Machine backup which was connected all the time. (I also have a Clone of Carbon Copy backup). But the Time machine backup restores, showing me "error-36". I'm quite familiar with the operations of Terminal "dot_clean", but when I try it tells me that the command is unknown. And, of course, the problem is with the Time Machine backup, not with my hard drive. is it possible to repair the Time Machine backup in my situation? I can't restore my backup CCC because my iMac can't see, had no installed system. I'm about to try to completely install the original Snow Leopard system from the boot disk and then either try to restore from time Machine, or migrate it again.

    Can anyone offer advice please?

  • What exactly does the Time Machine backup?

    What exactly does the Time Machine backup?

    We have a Mac Pro towers (NOT for sale) and Mac mini with several hard drives installed internally.   Time Machine backup all internal disks or just the boot disk?   This can be configured?

    Time Machine backs up your default boot partition. However, if you have more than one drive or partition on your Mac (and it is formatted in "Mac OS extended (journaled)"), you can set the Time Machine to save these drives too. You can do this by removing these drives from the list of excluded items in System-> Time Machine-> Options... Preferences, so that the next backup will include all internal hard drives or partitions that you want to back up too.
