• 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.

  • 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.

• Time Machine do not wake the Macbook to perform backups

  I'm saving a Macbook Pro on a Mac Mini with OS X Server installed. Previously, I supported it up to a USB hard drive connected locally. It is 1 year and Yosemite, can it take hourly backups while you sleep as expected.

  In both cases, Time Machine works fine, except one thing... Hourly backups do not, occur when the computer is in standby. In other words, the Mac does not wake itself for the backup as expected (Power Nap is enabled.)

  I've seen similar to this, other issues involving a UPS connected by USB, but I have no one.

  What I tried:

  1. I did a clean (with format) installation of El Capitan of the recovery partition and did not restore from Time Machine (just dragged my music, photos, documents to their respective homes manually).

  2. I have also reset the SMC and the PRAM without effect on this issue.

  3. I upgraded 10.11.2 and the problem persists.

  4 past of connected locally to target (USB) for a target of network (on OS X Server) without change

  Starting from what a manual backup works perfectly and automatic backups occur as planned then I use the computer (that is, as long as it doesn't go to sleep).

  Energy Saver preferences are using default values, Power Nap is enabled.

  So my question is just... Before I contact support, does anyone know if there is a bug open for this report?  I * have * read the other threads and they speak very precisely a connected UPS number and that a fix was imminent in 10.11.2. The other owners of Macbook having this problem?

  Time Machine wakes you up only the Mac to perform a backup, if the Mac is connected to a power outlet. If you did that, then it might be a bug that I don't know a solution.

• 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!

• 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 Machine can't see NAS to format / partitioned in El Capitan

  We have two MacBook Pro and 4 car TB WD MyBook attached to our wireless router. This disk is partitioned and used for Time Machine backups. We did not have problems with this configuration, up to yesterday, that we decided to format the disk and repartition it. We did it with my MacBook Pro which is running El Capitan (10.11.3) and the newer disk utility program. I plugged the drive locally on the laptop and he came back and said that through fine form/partitioning layout. However, I moved to the router as a NAS and went to setup Time Machine... Time Machine could not see the player. I could map the drive and write to her through 'connect to server... ". "without any problem. Even tried the thing to "map the drive on the desktop" to make it appear on the list of drives available in Time Machine. Nothing worked! I thought something may had been bad installation, or gone bad, partitioning and started... always the same results. The third time, I decided to use MacBook Pro my wife who still works Yosemite with the old "Disk Utility" program on this subject. I went through and formatted/partitioned it the same as before. However, when I hooked up like the SIN this time and the mapped drive he appeared right on Time Machine just as it should have the first time.

  Is there a problem with Time Machine, find readers NAS to format / partitioned in El Capitan? Is there a setting that needs to be changed in the new "Disk Utility" program to make it work? I'm a bit of a loss here...

  The router cannot possibly recognize a drive formatted by OS X. It uses an operating system that is totally foreign.

  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 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..

• Time Machine do not hourly backups on WD My Book for Mac new

  My 1 TB time capsule was too small for the full backup so I just bought a 6 new to WD "My Book for Mac" and have now a new back up, but it won't backup time as usual. I am running OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 Can anyone who thinks that the reason for what I fear not having a reliable backup. The problem with the new hard drive external or is - a problem with EL Capitan?

  Hello Arnaud,.

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It is my understanding that Time Machine was not back up as expected. I certainly understand how it is important to be able to back up your content. I'm happy to help you.

  There are several factors that could influence the automatic backup. Please follow the steps in the link below to fix this problem:

  If you cannot back up or restore your Mac with Time Machine

  In addition to these measures, hourly backups could be affected by your sleep Macs and power Nap settings, depending on which Mac you use. To ensure that your hourly backups are finished, set your Mac sleep to a longer period time. For testing purposes, try to set the duration of sleep at least 1 hour. You can do this in system preferences > energy saver.

  In addition, if you use a portable Mac, make sure that it is connected to power during the tests to see if hourly backups work. See the link below to view information on how Power Nap works and how it can affect Time Machine.

  How Power Nap works on your Mac

  Keep in mind, that Time Machine backs up only files that have changed since the last backup.

  Have an amazing day!

• Time machine does not take into account my partition which is case-sensitive.  Recovery has no data of this partition.

  I have a partition on my drive that is formatted for OS X Journaled, case sensitivity.  When I perform a backup, then recovery, all data in this partition is missing.  Time Machine does not recognize partitions of case-sensitive?  Strange, as the default format for Time Capsule itself is case sensitive.

  You cannot use the formatting case-sensitive with OS X. You will need to repartition the drive to Insensitive in full. You can not do any repairs or restore from a backup Time Machine.
