Time Machine every few weeks stopped backup because it must create a new backup. 9 to on MY Cloud EX2 takes 4 full days. Crazy to keep losing all backup dates.

• Time Machine wants to finish the backup

  I recently had a repair on my MacBook Pro.  They replaced the Logic Board 2.5 GHz.  Time Machine now wants to do a full backup instead of only since my last backup.  Should I just let a backup completes or is there a way to backup only since the last of them?  Will allowing him to make a full backup take too much space on my external hard drive?  The drive is fairly new and I know that there is enough space (for now.)  Apple advice for troubleshooting time Machine said to call the repair center, but I thought someone here might be able to help.  Thank you.

  This is quite normal. Time Machine it's an another computer because the new logic board. So, you have to make a new backup. If you have no space on the backup drive, then erase the disc first.

• 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 Due to the disappearance of James Pondini is the site is no longer updated. Therefore, some information may be somewhat outdated.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 must create a new backup

  I received the following message: Time Machine has conducted an audit of your backups on "Personal Cloud."  To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you.  Does this mean that to maintain backups, my previous backups will be gone?   I'm basically ignoring tech.  Thank you!

  Does this mean that to maintain backups, my previous backups will be gone?

  Yes.

  A device third-party network attached storage (NAS) or a router is unsuitable for use with Time Machine, especially if it's your only backup. I know that's not what you want to hear. I know that Time Machine accepts the device as a backup destination. I know that the manufacturer says the device will work with Time Machine, and I also know that it usually seems to work. Except when you are trying to restore and find that you can't.

  Apple has published a specification for network devices that works with Time Machine. No third party provider, AFAIK, does meet this specification. They all use the application of "Netatalk" incomplete, obsolete Apple Filing Protocol.

  Apple does not endorse any device third-party network for use with Time Machine. See this support article.

  Network backup, use as destination an Apple Time Capsule or an external storage device connected to another Mac or a 802.11ac AirPort base station. Only 802.11ac base stations support time Machine, not older model.

  Otherwise, use Time Machine at all. There are other ways to save, although none of them are nowhere near as effective or as well integrated with OS X. I don't have a specific recommendation.

  If you are determined to continue to use the device with Time Machine, your only remedy for any resulting problem is the manufacturer (who will blame Apple, neither you nor anyone else but herself.)

• Time Machine "to improve reliability TM must create a new backup" - what choice do I have?

  The popup says "Time Machine completed a verificaion... to improve reliability TM must create a new backup" and goes on to say all my existing history is deleted.

  Our time Capsule is shared between mine and my husband's computer.  There are still 1.2 to he left.  The message tell me where or what the problem is - this time Machine to my computer or is it the time Capsule?

  Could simply upgrade to El Capitan correct the problem?

  Thanks for any help,

• 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 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.

• Why should I activate CC every few weeks and have several times to accept the terms of the license?

  It seems that I must accept the terms of the license, about once a week for applications of CC and all the few weeks I asks me to activate the software once more. I suspect that this is not normal.

  It is a 8.1 Windows 64 bit system.

• time machine, not the size hourly backups

  I've been running Time Machine on a large partition of a hard drive external backup since June 2012.

  I noticed a week ago about 13 December 2015, the TM backup used disk space faster. I found that TM was maintaining all hourly backups since November 1, 2015. It was delete no, he wasn't going to the daily or weekly. So I have every hour Nov. 1 to Dec. 20 (so far) of backup 2015. No idea why started from that date either.

  I then ran disk utility to repair the TM and initially found some mistakes (which I had not), but repaired OK.

  A few days later, I ran THE NEW and confirmed drive was OK.

  I deleted library/preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist and then configure TM again via system preferences. He backed up in the right place but still retained all of the hourly backups.

  I created a small TM backup on another partition of the external hard drive for 36 hours. He kept one then deleted backups older than 24 hours. Just as it takes.

  I put back to elements of TM and original score, but even once he kept keep all backup schedules.

  I started in safe mode, run TM without change.

  I would like to than TM fix/delete all backups hours/then every day as it should be past or in the future.

  All solutions other than 1. manually remove the redundant backups via 'Star Wars' or 2. leave full to have to buy another external hard drive.

  I have a mini PPC running 10.5.8. The backup of my hard drive is about 58 GB, the partition on the HDD is 385 GB with 22 GB of spare right now.

• my time machine just to complete a backup, but it is not listed?

  I have three macs backed up on a time machine. The mac, I want to migrate was on the list, but I made a new backup to get the latest version. Now that it's over, it is not on the news on the time machine. No idea where it went? It drives me crazy.

  Your question is unclear.

  I have three macs backed up on a time machine.

  You mean a Time Capsule? They are backed up by Time Machine on every Mac.

  The mac, I want to migrate was on the list, but I made a new backup to get the latest version.

  Mac that you want to migrate from appeared in the Finder with a sparsebundle? It's still there... Have you opened it manually and check the dates?

  Now that it's over, it is not on the news on the time machine

  Sorry now it gets too complicated... did you really mean Time Machine here?

  If the Time Machine works normally... hourly backup you would not need to do anything special, so I'm lost exactly what you're doing different.

  No idea where it went? It drives me crazy.

  Me too.. I don't know where he's been... because I don't know what that means, or it you are talking about.

  Missing the sparsebundle to the backup?

  It is simply not enough the last backup date?

  Backup details will be in the paper... you can go through it and find out what happened.

  If you are migrating to a new computer before get rid you of this computer... Just use migration between the method of computers... not the method of TM. Transfer works very well... better even... If you connect two computers together through ethernet (love at first sight would be fantabulous)... and transfer on the standard gigabit network. If your method of backup fails for some reason any.

  But there are as many reasons for the failure of TM is not easy to understand.

  Use a work around if it is important to do this via the backup instead of direct.

  for example... a USB plug into the computer and use it as the target for backup... TM has done well above the local level as network drives.

  You can also create a clone bootable disk USB using Carbon Copy Cloner who is free to use for one month.

• 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!
