Time machine crashes during the attempt to remove backup

Hello people,

Recently trying to remove a TM backup my machine freezes completely upwards. This seems to happen after doing a delete in the morning, it after trying to delete another back up and my machine freezes.

I can get it to unlock by slightly pressing the power switch on the back of my Imac, then the screen goes black for a moment, then turns on and I can make the choice to delete or remove the back upward.

Can I delete a backup by day with questions, as soon as I try and do it again, it freezes.

It was after my system boots every day.

I'm on the latest version of OSX Yosemite.

Suggestions for troubleshooting this problem would be appreciated.

Removal of TM backups seem to be a very intense process for the machine and takes a long time. It is probably just processing information and take a lot of computer resources. And it should only be done for TM, or you will corrupt your backup.

Why you try to manually delete the backups? This isn't a good idea.

  • Time Machine crashes during backup

    Hi all

    I have a crush of Promise Raid connected to a Mini Mac OS X Server 10.9.5 (Mavericks) running. I have two volumes of backup Time Machine, 1 is a partition of the Raid itself, and the other is a 5 TB USB external drive. The goal was to have Time Machine backup ping-pong between the two. And for a while, that's how it worked.

    After about a week of reliable backup, Time Machine will now just hang it on a point in the backup and do nothing. I let it run for as long as 2 weeks just to be sure, but it never moves. I have to jump the backup. Then, it hangs on the other disk in the same exact spot.

    I tried to reformat completely each player and the best I've managed to do is backup successfully for nearly a week. Readers have enough space, but for some reason, the backup no longer works.

    I've been struggling with this for over a year without success. The worst is that when I think that I have work, I return back to retrieve something and find that he has not worked for a week (or more). Very frustrating.

    At this point, I'm looking in a 3rd party like Carbon Copy Cloner utility. But I like the ease and the Time Machine product structure. We do hard backups on DVD, so it's really just for jobs, we kept on our server that exist for about a month before be saved permanently.

    Thanks for the help,

    Rob

    I think maybe it's time to give up that hard drive and get a new start.  You might be able to fix it, but I wouldn't try to fix it without already having another backup in place.    The fact that it failed sporadically for more than a year is not a good thing.  Always have at least two copies of any data that is essential at all times *:

  • DM1 #WX899UA #ABC notebook: pavilion Dm1 crashed during the attempted upgrade win7 win10

    TRIED to LEVEL WITH WIN10 media USB and after two days creating his stop because she looks stuck.

    Tried to resuscitate her for the last two days and currently hdd is no longer recognized in the bios.

    the last time I saw drive c with 15 meg of 200 GB drive was something during the chkdsk command that I fell into the 10 victory of the media creation tool repair mode. I had to 'unlock' or dismount the Volume, and all open handles subsequently would be invalid.

    (Whatever that means...).

    now I can start only from the USB port. As in the bios, there is no device found startup, there is no hard drive in the bios says hard drive test.

    now I think I need to get a win7 on USB startup file to get her going again... maybe? If yes where?

    also when I tried to download win7 from MS, REQUIRED the product key but the label is worn and were guessing the lack of tanks erase...

    Of course right about now, I have a few words of choice for bill gates... with his win 10 that my laptop is verified to be able to run!

    any suggestions are welcome. BTW, tried all the suggestions on the HP support site...

    Also makes a disc image before I looked at all this, but it is not accessible because of the bios not being able to see the hard drive...

    Thank you

    OK, thanks for this update - guess their link is more ISOs OEM.

    So here's another link - and it does not include the OEM ISOs, but again, I don't know if they will work for HP: http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/universal_windows_downloader.html

  • Copy the old Time Machine files to the new disk TM

    Sorry people, I have to ask two (related) questions:

    (1) I have a WD My Passport for Mac drive connected to an Airport Extreme and 2 Macs use for backup via Time Machine. Now, the disk is full. I bought a WD My Book for Mac drive with a capacity of 4 TB and am ready to go.

    Question: can I copy the old files of Time Machine on my new book?

    (2) until now 2 different Macs used the My Passport as a Time Machine drive with no problems.

    Question: Should I partition the new drive (My Book) and every Mac uses its own partition as Time Machine or can proceed us as is?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Question: can I copy the old files of Time Machine on my new book?

    Yes you can, but there is a lot of work, a little complicated, time consuming and not worth the effort for most users.  The main reasons for this are...

    (1) the older backups will take a good amount of space on the new drive, limiting the space on the disk again.

    (2) Time Machine backups for the old files will continue... it will make a new copy of every Mac and then go forward again with incremental backups.

    A better plan would be to keep the old drive on hand for a few months, in which case you need to go back and look for a file. After a few months, you will have a beautiful story from backup to the new hard drive and no need of older backups so you can remove the old disk and keep around as a spare part or use it for other purposes.

    Question: Should I partition the new drive (My Book) and every Mac uses its own partition as Time Machine or can proceed us as is?

    While you can partition the drive and save each Mac to a separate partition if you wish, there is really no need to do this since Time Machine will automatically create separate for each Mac backup files.

  • 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 hangs on the Application file that I deleted

    Hello:

    I'm doing a new installation on my parents computer because Flash Player was completely broken somehow. I can't uninstall or update.

    This isn't my problem right away well. Their backup disk was on his last breath so that I had to get a new and Time Machine hangs first various office applications, which I excluded, now it's of iDVD. I tried that it excludes everything first, but Time Machine has always tried to save. Given that my parents don't use it and it is no longer supported then I thought to uninstall. I deleted the program and demand corresponding is support the file and did a search in the Finder for all of the remaining files. No, zip.

    However, Time machine is still backing up files which I can't find for the life of me. He would make iDVD themes 1, 2, 3, etc. I can't exclude in Time Machine because he's not here. I deleted the partial backups each time and it keeps immediately suspended 19,25 GB on iDVD.

    Please, Please help. I spent a ridiculous amount of time is already and should just get this done.

    I look forward to all points of view.

    Thank you

  • Time Machine crashes

    Looking in my journal I find this:
    com Apple.backupd: waiting for index or loan (100)

    After consultation with google I find that the problem is probably related to a disconnection from the backup disk that happened earlier today, when I accidentally stumbled upon the USB when fixing my iPhone.

    I barely touched, but it was enough to cause a disconnect.

    I ' t may be something else though because it seems a little far fetched that a simple disconnect/connect must

    cause such a catastrophic failure like that.

    This post describes how Time Machine can lead to corrupted data when they are exposed to accidents:

    Re: Time Machine 'Waiting for the index to be ready': what it really means?

    If this is the case, then it tells me that Time Machine is not capable of handling disconnects and auto resume.

    I'm guessing that disconnects happen every day to thousands of users of the time Machine.

    So I'm expecting Time Machine to use a fault-tolerant Protocol.

    Maybe it's not.

    Now, I get multiple instances of "com.apple.backupd: waiting for index be ready (100)" in my log file.

    Even if the projector is not indexing.

    It took about an hour to save 3 KB of data.

    Wow
    I'm NOT surprised!

    I should also mention that I added all external drives including the backup drive to the exclusion of Spotlight list.
    So they must not interfere with the backup.
    However, when you add the backup drive, I received the message:

    "My Passport for Mac ' is a Time Machine backup drive.

    Spotlight will continue to search for Time Machine backups but seek no other items on the disk.

    But why must it seek the backups at all.
    Why would I want an index of my backup files?

    Got two iMacs a 24 "OS 10.6.8 and one running OS 10.11.4 27" and both have supported by Time Machine.

    On the 24 "when running the backup takes place the indicator Time Machine on the menu bar. On 27 ", this does not happen. Although this does not mean that Time Machine does not work I have when even being able to see what happens sometimes as I then know backup is done. Any ideas?

  • Satellite Pro A110 crashes during the transfer of the large data in LAN

    Hello

    My Satellite Pro A110 crashes during the transfer of the large data in LAN. The network driver is a Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC I've been looking through this forum and found some wire whit exactly the same problem, saying that the solution is to update Realtek lan set up in BIOS, not the computer BIOS, but I can't find any link to download the necessary upgrade file. Can anyone tell me please where to find this upgrade file or send it to me directly?

    Thanks in advance

    Is - this transfer of data in the company where you work? Do you want to download data from the server, or how to understand this? How to understand what you mean under big data?

    Have you tried downloading data on the Internet? For example, if you try to download some trailer HD (more than 200 MB)?
