• Cannot switch between multiple Time Machine backups

  I generally save my 2010 Macbook Pro to a 2012 Time Capsule, which is attached to my router via an ethernet cable (most recent) wireless. On a trip, I make the additional backups on an external hard drive. However, when I go home and try to return to the TC, my internal HD is now on the time Machine "Exclude" list and cannot be removed (greyed out). When I try to save, I get a message saying "no disks are available to back up."

  What has happened a few times, and the only solution I could find was to delete my original Time Machine backup and put a new (which took forever).

  Any ideas why my HD internal is added to the exclusion list after using Time Machine with an external hard drive?

  Time Machine backups on a network drive or a disc attached locally stored in different formats. Switching between them was not in the overall theme of the design of this service of OS X.

  I suggest that you set up Time Machine to use multiple disks.

  FWIW, in my case, I backup destinations, Time Machine on a Time Capsule and an external hard drive of 2 bolt of lightning. When both are available, the time goes 'take turns' Machine backup on each drive.

  If a disk is not available, it backs up to that which is, and which ignores the backup of the other. When the two are connected again, backups continue on both.

• 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.

• I would like to add a folder of photos on a USB key for time machine backups

  I have a new time capsule, and I am attaching a USB hard drive that previously held some my time machine backups and all my photos. I would now add the photo of backups auto time folder machine on the time capsule. But in time machine preferences I don't see the folder or the USB key. Although I can see the USB in the finder as well as the time capsule window. I can copy and paste the photo time capsule file it's just I wanted to time machine for backup for me. Any help much appreciated.

  The time Capsule is what we call a 'network' of the road, so when the USB is connected to the time Capsule, which would make it a "network" drive as well.

  Unfortunately, Time Machine is unable to back up a 'network' of the time Capsule drive.

  If you want to save the data or the USB disk using Time Machine drive, you will need to connect the drive directly to your Mac and then it will be saved with your Mac... assuming that the drive has been formatted for Mac to Mac OS extended (journaled) format. Then, the player will become a "local" drive

  If you need to keep the USB connected to the time Capsule, the only way to back up data automatically on a schedule would be to use a commercial program like Carbon Copy Cloner or ChronoSync.

• 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

• Clone of Time machine backup to a new drive?

  I'm trying to help out a new Mac. Before, I had two back ups of all my data: on the hard drive of my old iMac and my external time machine backup disk. Long story, but during the process of troubleshooting using AppleCare support, my iMac has been cleared. Now, I have only the Time Machine external backup.

  I bought a new drive for Time Machine external backup on my new Mac. I am very very afraid of something bad happens to my old Time Machine backup during the troubleshooting process. My question is, is there a way to clone back to the top of my old drive time machine to the new, so I once more two copies?  If something happens to my old time machine up during this process of troubleshooting, I won't lose all my files.

  I'm not familiar with the Time Machine backups, and even if they need to be cloned since that they are not bootable backups.  The following link is dated but maybe having the relevant documents:

• 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 backup on my external drive...

  Hello

  I am doing this for the first time so I need some help here please.

  I have a 5 years, 250 GB Mac Book Pro running on Mac OS X 10.6.8.  I have NEVER done a Time Machine backup first.

  I have an external hard drive 1 TB, which has about 200 GB of data backed up from my Mac Book pro and other files.

  I want to upgrade to El Capitan and want to back up my book ALL of the mac pro.

  My question is, is the external drive with about 750 GB of sufficiently available to back up my entire Mac Book pro...?  Looks like it should be. The IMPORTANT question is, somehow will it delete my existing files in my external drive...? How can I make sure that this does not happen...?

  Separately, I have 2 accounts on my Mac Book Pro, when I back up my laptop using Time Machine, goes up two accounts...? ... Should I be logged into my main account so it backs up two accounts...? How that will work in a restaurant...?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Your best bet would be to clone your entire drive to another Partition on the hard drive, external, but repartitioning is not without risk.

  TM should work but is not ideal. TM backs up only the account your as I recall.

  Everything that you be sure to secure boot, now hold SHIFT key on startup to repair the startup disk, and then use Utilityto repair disk external hard disk.

• Time Machine backup keeps causing MBP restart

  Hi all

  I'm a DJ and just more than one year, I bought a brand new series of mid-2012 13-inch Macbook Pro (non-retine) with an i5 2.5 Ghz processor.
  I installed a 750 7200 RPM HARD drive and max had the RAM to 16 GB with memory mac 'official' of CanComputers. I only use this machine for DJing. I have all my music in two folders on the desktop, I have 2-3 music applications and she. 10.9.5 running and I'm doing time machine backups every month.

  This month, my time machine was told the drive was corrupted and that I was able to read (it was a 500 GB Lacie Rugged). OK: I had another drive, a 1 TB USB3.0 Toshiba Ext HDD. 4 GB in the new backup, laptop computer suddenly shutdown, reboot and I get the message that the computer turns off due to a problem. I looked in the logs and nothing in particular stood out.

  I tried excluding my office of the backup and it worked - it supported a set of 3 GB. Then I added a little music on the desktop and excluded other files, and it has not yet. The entire backup is estimated to be about 450GB.

  I don't have time to play the files on this computer. Someone please tell me what I can do to solve this problem, or at least what is causing the problem. In the meantime, does anyone have an effective solution for the backup of these files?

  Thank you

  Danny

• Time Machine backup to external drive connected to the TimeCapsule

  I have a 3 TB TimeCapsule, that contains the my iMac TimeMachine backup. So far so good.

  Now, I would like to connect an external drive to the TimeCapsule via the USB port to allow access to this drive of my iMac as well as other computers on my network. I would like to than the external to include in my Time Machine backup drive. Is it possible - by accepting that the backup of obviously only runs when the Mac is on? If this isn't the case, other methods of backup to an external drive, connected to the TimeCapsule, may be recommended?

  You can do it. Time Machine it will support up to a separate folder on your backup disk. Don't forget to remove it from the exclusions list in Time Machine preferences. I don't know if others cannot see the drive connected to your computer is turned off. They may be able to mount the drive on their computer as you do on yours. Try it because I could be wrong on this matter.

• Wireless shared time Machine backup with Airport Express?

  Hi all

  I looked around lately for a solution to this issue and who struggle to get by.

  I'm a musician, and at home, I have an iMac that I work on. Everything is there, basically. I have a Time Machine backup to an external drive.

  I also have my old MacBook that I use to play concerts. I have what I need for it there: especially Max/MSP patches, odd live recording and a few samples. I don't have a backup of it right now. Max patches are the only files not on my iMac.

  So far, all the files I need for two computers, I have sync with DropBox and OneDrive. I'm getting a little tired of copy things more, re-upload, forgetting where something is and having things scattered everywhere. Ideally I'd like a shared folder of a certain type that is always up-to-date on both computers. This folder will contain Max patches, live recordings and the weird thing I do away from home.

  I would also be able to save more flexible:

  • the iMac backup
  • Backup of MacBook Pro
  • Shared folder backup

  I've been looking around a bit and I'm not sure how best to do so. A kind of home server would be an option? I have not used one drop/airport/Time Capsule of Apple stuff before, so I'm not sure how they differ from each other.

  I like Time Machine, because I can't think to save things. If I could have three backups separated like the ones I mentioned (for the security and because my brain can deal with it better if it is presented that way), that upward with Time Machine or something similar, to some central place automatically.

  I looked at the airport in Time Capsule and it looks great, but I can't afford it right now. I also saw contradictory information on AirPort Express can be plugged into an external drive for backup, so if Time Machine can be used with wireless at all.

  I hope that what I am asking is logical. I would like the simplest solution to back up two computers and have a shared location for the common files needed on both.

  Thank you!

  Phil.

Ideally I'd like a shared folder of a certain type that is always up-to-date on both computers. This folder will contain Max patches, live recordings and the weird thing I do away from home.

  An option here would be to get a device connected to the network (SIN). This unit can store all the required files and be accessible to one of your computers on your home network. A number of these devices is also available remotely, when necessary. Here is an example.

  I would also be able to save more flexible:

  • the iMac backup
  • Backup of MacBook Pro

  To the extent not "have to think about backup things', Time Machine (TM) would be a solution that is easily available to you now. It would create separate for each Mac backups. In addition to using an external hard drive as you do now, other TM backup destinations could be:

  • A time Capsule
  • A 802.11ac AirPort Extreme with a connected USB hard drive. In this configuration, Apple calls the drive and the drive from the airport.
  • A NAS

  In the last item in the list, you see that a NAS could offer solutions for each of your goals. However, if you are on a tight budget, likely the most expensive company to undertake, as the physical drive of NAS enclosure can run around $400-600 only, without any installed readers. This is where the time Capsule can work out cheaper for you.

• Door key lost in the time machine backup

  Dear community,

  Because I had trouble with the speed of my MacBook Pro (and nothing else developed), I had to set up entirely new.

  Before installing El Capitan, my MacBook Pro (starting 2011) ran on Yosemite 10.10.5. I made two backups with time machine, generated a bootable El Capitan installation USB key, in format Macintosh HD, installed at El Capitan and ran all the updates. The system works well, everything works perfectly and my Mac is fast again. Now, I manually copy things that I need in my system of charges.

  Here, the problem is: I can't find the old keychain file in the time machine backup!

  Keychain works with the keys stored in iCloud. However, the other buttons are gone.

  As I discovered, ~/Library/Keychains is hidden. I did it visible on my system running. However, this does not work in the backup file. It remains hidden or - worse - have not been stored in the backup. I don't know that I have excluded from time machine backup only two totally different folders (dropbox and movies).

  You have any ideas how I can find my keychain (login.keychain if my search was right) in the time machine backup?

  Thanks a lot for your help!

  Time Machine, please press the shift-command-C key combination. The windshield will show the mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and search for files to restore.

  If you need to restore from a backup of the hidden user library folder, first select a snapshot, and then press shift-command-G. A go to the folder dialog box opens. In this document, you enter the path to the folder. The dialog box will help you by automatically filling parts of the path when you start typing.

  The path starts with the slash character ("/"). Enter that. The rest of the parts is separated by slashes.

  The next part is the date and time of the current snapshot. Enter a '2', and the rest of the date should be filled in automatically. Press the right arrow key to access the end of the path. Enter a slash to start the next game.

  Next is the volume name (usually "Macintosh HD" unless you assigned a different name.) Start typing, then jump to the end and enter a slash.

  The next part is 'Users', followed by a slash.

  Then is your short user name. It is also the name of your home folder, which is represented by an icon of the House in the sidebar of a Finder window.

  Finally, enter "Library", and then press return. You should now be in the library folder. From there, you can move like in the Finder. You can also select another snapshot of the same folder.

• 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.

  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.
