• Time machine could not complete the backup of... The backup disk image could not be found (error (null))

  Running OS 10.11.3 on my early 2011 Macbook Pro 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 with 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, use Time Machine to back up to my Airport 802.11ac purchased 16/09/2014:

  Backup failed: Time Machine could not complete the backup of... Airport Time Capsule.   The backup disk image ' / Volume/Data/MacBookPro.sparsebundle ' could not be found (error (null)).   Last successful backup: yesterday at 12:17

  I can see the airport and the data file in my network.

  I immediately did a full time Machine backup on a USB key and it disconnected from my system.

  I unplugged the airport, let it rest for a minute and returned the power plug, let it settle for a green light.  I'm restarting Time Machine backup to the airport.

  I need to replace the airport?  The appliance starts to fail?  Or, it is more likely is a problem with winter static electricity that has damaged the image and reconstruction will fix all this.  Reconstruction will take about four hours with no guarantee that it will work.

• Time Machine could not complete the backup

  Since installing a Superdrive replacement, Time Machine is not back up.  I get an error message that says: 'Time Machine could not complete the backup "Time Machine backup disk. Full backup impossible. An error occurred during the creation of the backup folder. »

  I followed the instructions in the Time Machine error - backup failed, but none of the steps solved my problem.

  I suggest that visit you Time Machine FAQ of Pondini helps with Time Machine. It is a vast site with almost everything that you need for using Time Machine. You will not find a better resource for Time Machine in one place. Due to the disappearance of James Pondini is the site is no longer updated. Therefore, some information may be somewhat outdated.

• Time Machine could not complete the backup-backup drive is not found

  I get a message...

  "Time machine could not complete the backup to Time Capsule

  I can't find the backup disk. Make sure that the backup disk is connected, or select a different backup disk. »

  I have not had this problem before, it's all connected...

  If you have not already made a comprehensive network feeding cycle, it would be a good basic troubleshooting step.

  To turn off some appliances, you actually pull the plug on the appliance.

  Turn off all devices on your network, computers, routers, modem, printers, mobile devices, etc... in any order you want

  Wait a minute

  Turn on the modem and let it run for 2-3 minutes by itself

  Switch on the device connected to a modem and let run for a minute

  Keep turn on devices one at a time about a minute apart, until the entire network is back

• Time Machine don't prune the old El Capitan backups and works out of space and "backup fails.

  With the help of El Capitan 10.11.1, I noticed a change in behavior with the handling of the time Machine of large files, specifically the files of virtual disk VMWare Fusion (about 50 large concerts).  After a few weeks of use of fusion VM virtual machine, Time Machine gives an error where it ran out of space and "backup failed."

  I had the same problem occur on a second iMac that I own.

  I reformatted my external drive for Time Machine and started fresh, but after a few weeks, I got the same error again.  It seems that Time Machine is not the size or remove older backups of VMware virtual disk to provide a space for the new.

  Previous versions of Mac OS X and Time Machine had no problem with the backup of large files such as these.

  Has anyone else noticed "backup failed" message with Time Machine on El Capitan?  I know that I can exclude the disk virtual VMware backup, but that defeats the entire purpose of Time Machine backups.  Any suggestions?

  Time Machine automatically deletes older snapshots to make room for the new. If your backup history is shorter than expected, it may be because you want to save one or more large files frequently.

  Software virtualization VMware, Parallels or VirtualBox creates a large virtual disk container that is constantly evolving. It will not be saved at all while the virtual machine running, and at other times it must be saved each Time Machine performance. Who fills up quickly any backup destination.

  You must exclude files from virtual drive of your Time Machine backups. To do this, click the Options button in the Time Machine preferences window. You can also do this to virtualization, application settings. Back up the files on the virtual disk within the comments system, using a native backup application.

  A compromise solution is to create a 'snapshot' of the virtual machine in the virtualization software (not a Time Machine snapshot.) This will give you a single large file that never changes and only has to be saved once. All future changes will be stored in a file that is much smaller initially, but will grow over time. You must always exclude this backup TM file. If you need to restore the computer virtual of Time Machine, you will have a working configuration, which will be easy for you to restore the rest of the data in the system of comments.

• Time machine does not see the existing backups

  When I tried to make a backup of TM to my doesn.t TM HD external see my existing backups and trying to do a new backup complete. Firstly, it said "preparing backup..." "that takes a long time before you go make a new backup full not not using the existing to make a differential.

  You're talking about two different things that above:

  • Create a new full backup
  • Recognizing the existence of previous backups

  You seem to be assuming that because Time Machine seems to be to create a new full backup, so should not recognize the existence of all the previous backups.  This assumption is wrong.  New full backups are created, for example, when the update of OS X.

  The way to check if the Time Machine recognizes the previous backups would be to use the Time Machine application to check if you can see previous versions of files.

• Time Machine does not recognize the backups when you configure the external drive as a network drive

  I have a MyBook 5 to disk with a 1 TB partition that I used as a destination for Time Machine > 1 year now. I recently gathered the energy to connect the my book on my Airport Extreme Base Station (model 2014? the second model) to implement wireless backups. I plugged the MyBook on the base station, set up file sharing in AirPort Utility and created an account with access to the partition of TM on the MyBook under the section 'Sharing secured disk' utility.

  Now, when I open the time Machine, I choose this partition, but it does not seem to recognize that I have a string of backups already there. Then he tries to start a new backup. So a few questions.

  1. Should I abandon my old backups and start over? I don't think that I did nothing to my system in these last days that I would need to be careful, if I couldn't rely on a TM backup from that moment.
  2. Is there a way to get TM to recognize my old backups and start from there? I do not look down the barrel of a backup of time + 13.

  If 1, should I reformat the partition TM in order to start over? I don't see the older backups on disk when I look in the Finder, but I know that they are there and they are too much space. Help/suggestions appreciated!

• Time Machine does not register the last backups

  In Time Machine preferences, it signals that the last backup is June 2, but when I go to Time Machine I don't see what

  which seems to be backups in recent days.  How do both to sync to declare the same data?

  

  • Assuming that your profile information is correct, OS X update to the latest version: How can I update to OS X and Mac apps - Apple Support.
  • If you do not already done, simply connect / again or restart your Mac.
  • If you back up the contents of the source that lies in the external devices, make sure they are all operational, mounted and available.
  • If the last time information and the date are still incorrect, continue with the steps below.
  1. Confirm that a backup is not already underway. Then, scroll down to 'Add or remove backup disk... '. "and select it. Choose 'Data' and then delete.
     • If everything works as it should, this will not affect your existing backup history. However, if you have done this until now it is not working as it should, and in an abundance of caution you should consider creating an additional, redundant backup first. If you work with the data that you just can't live without, that a backup is not enough in any case, even if everything works perfectly.
  2. Then select the drive again, connect you and choose 'Back Up Now' in the Time Machine menu bar icon.
     • If you have added previously any exclusion of the element (under the 'Options... button "), you will need to add.
  3. Time Machine will take a lot of time while it makes a 'deep event' scan to determine which files need to be backed up. Meanwhile "preparing backup...". ' appears in Time Machine preferences.
  4. When the "scan deep event" is over, Time Machine will perform a normal incremental backup, which will have the usual amount of time.

  That should correct the erroneous information.

• Why Time Machine will not erase old backups when it needs more space for a new backup?

  I have problems with Time Machine.  I am running on an iMac (21.5 inch, end 2012) with a processor Intel Core i7 3.1 GHz and 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory.  My OS is El Capitan, 10.11.3 version (15 d 21).

  Since a few days I received the following Time machine error message:

  Time Machine could not complete the backup "IoSafe.

  Backup disc neds 47,49 GB for backup, but only 39,98 GB are available.  Select a larger drive for backup or do

  the smaller by excluding the backup files.

  I thought that Time Machine was supposed to automatically delete older backups when there was not enough space on the backup drive.  Am I missing something?  Is that what I can do to diagnose the underlying problem?

  -Is [Larry] is-

  When you enter Time Machine, you see windows cascading over time. The foreground window represents the current state of the data and those behind it successive snapshots of data taken by Time Machine. Is there only a snapshot (i.e. one behind the windshield), or more than one?

• Time capsule will not recognize the backup from another mac

  Time machine will not recognize the backup from another mac

  Time Machine will never find "another" Mac backups unless you've been backup that 'different' Mac on the same Capsule you have there.

  So, we need more information and to try to understand what it is that you are trying to accomplish. Please assume that we know nothing about what you could have done in the past... (since we don't have).

• Time Machine does not work after update of the Sierra

  The time function machine my Mackbook Air 2011 stopped working... it has not been saved since update for Sierra, it only take screenshots every hour, it will perform a backup is no longer on my external HD as before.

  There is no problem with the way it is implemented or the hard drive, it's me that my iMac is working perfectly since the update for Sierra and it's backup via the time machine on the same hard disk.

  It is a hard drive and put in place I was in use for about 5 years with no problems.

  Also since the update for Sierra I noticed that my MacBook Air gets hot and the fans go wild, although there was nothing or performance other than the system is auto.

  I lost the use of my built in camera after the update to El Capitan, and now I've lost the use of time machine... I was wondering if I should go back to Yosemite that everything worked well then!... is this possible?

  Thanks for any help with this!

  Update:-just so you know, time machine is to find the back up ok drive (external hard drive), it then goes to "preparing backup" and that's all, he remains in this preparation save the scene for centuries, after a while it just stops and it is saved all... nothing!

  Also noticed when I checked in Time Machine full backup I have before update for Sierra disappeared, he disappeared, been deleted... I don't know what is happening with it!

  Overall since the update for Sierra my MacBook Air did not work properly, in addition to all that Safari does not load, just to get the wheel spinning, and now (with the demise of my old back ups) it seems I can't go back to a previous state.

  My Mackbook Air took it!... the last update took the camera and really Sierra in... material not compatible with all new software, none of the new features work on my iMac or MacBook Air (only Siri), so a useless upgrade for me really, wish I didn't!

• new time machine snapshots copied to the old directory of the machine not recognized

  I had a time Capsule 2 TB which showered, and I started a new backup (a USB key) by mode Apple drive. It took me a while to return to deal with the old clichés left on my Time Capsule. I found nothing specific online to tell me how to deal with this, so I made a few decisions naïve. I've disabled the Time Machine, renamed my new store backup and copied over the old store backup on the new backup drive time Capsule. Then in a Terminal on the command line, I mvhad snapshot directories in the newly copied backup of the old backup store store renamed folder. NOTE: On this site, I learned about a Time Machine of assistance called bypasscommand, and I needed to use it to move the Flash files in the command line:

  $ sudo mv 2016-09-17-211302 /System/Library/Extensions/TMSafetyNet.kext/Contents/Helpers/bypass.

  .. /.. /Backups.BackupDB/MyMachine /

  At this point, I thought: well, now, I have all my old and new pictures in the active backup store on the local USB drive. Then I turned on the Time Machine, and the first backup failed:

  "An error occurred during the file copying. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, use disk utility to repair your backup disk. »

  Then I noticed that Finder shows only most original snapshots while in the Terminal, I see all snapshots using the ls command. All snapshots have the same names in fashion and the owner/group permissions. So, why don't Finder shows all snapshots and why is Time Machine unhappy?

  Although you can restore a snapshot of Time Machine messages in the Mail application, it usually will not work with messages that were saved by an outdated version of the mail. In this case, you must use another method.

  Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

  ~/Library/Mail

  Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

  Services ▹ Open

  the contextual menu.* should open a folder.

  Enter Time Machine and scroll to the snapshot that you want to restore from. The folder named "Mail" are appointed "V2" and/or "V3" subfolders (depending on the version of Mac OS X that was used when the snapshot was taken.) Inside of one of these subfolders are several subfolders representing your e-mail accounts. The name refers to the email addresses that you use. Select the account folders you want and then select

  Restoration of the... to the...

  in the action menu (gear icon) in the toolbar of the Snapshot window. Restore the files on the desktop and not in their original location.

• Time Machine does not believe that a volume is identical to an exact volume in doubles with the same name

  • Had a player named ' external 1. »
  • He began to miss (I had another drive of the same manufacturer, and 'External 1' making the same noises as the other just before it failed).
  • Off time Machine
  • A got a new drive and formatted, calling it "new external 1".
  • All "external 1" copied on 'new external 1 "'.
  • Not mounted 'External 1' and threw it in a box that I keep for hardware failures
  • Renamed 'New external 1' on «external 1"»
  • Time Machine running and went to preferences. In the list of things to exclude the back - ups has been 'External 1.'
  • Removed '1 external' in the list of exclusions (highlighted his name and press the sign less)
  • Checked and found that "external 1" was still on the list of things to exclude
  • Repeated several times, but I couldn't go down the list

  Somehow Time Machine does not believe that the new "external 1" is the same as the first (who has done again to the top without any problems)

  What can I do to get the time Machine no no keep 'External 1' permanently on its exclusion list and the addresses as the same drive as the one I replaced?

  Furthermore, if I rename "External 1" to "New external 1", Time Machine will save it. But I can not just keep the "new external 1" name for reasons of scripts, etc..
