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.)

  • TimeCapsule must create a new backup... once again

    Since the update to Yosemite, I was totally unable to save anything to my Time Capsule airport. Whenever I restart the process, it takes several days to make a backup and then he said: there is a problem with the backup and I have to start over. So, I worked without a backup for months.

    What should do?

    Unfortunately, Time Machine has detected that your old backups are corrupt, and disk utility can't repair, so Time Machine must erase your old backups and start over with a new backup and then move forward again.

    If you choose to Back Up later, then backups to happen until you click Start a new backup.

    When you click on the "start new backup" button, your old corrupted backups will be deleted and Time Machine will start a new full backup of your Mac.

  • Time machine often create new backup to improve confiability

    Hi friends.

    I have a MacBook Air (11 inch, early 2014), with 256 GB. My Time Machine backups run to a central unit of Seagate NAS (2 TB) mounted inside my home network wifi. Thus, every night his running and to protect me.

    Two months ago I run out of space in the macbook, so I didn't uninstall some software and move some video files to my central seagate. I get about 50 Gb and macbook becomes used 190 GB space.

    Then comes a message/dialog box saying he checked my backups, and improve confiability I have to start a new Time Machine backup. I run it and do as suggested. After that I do, in July 18, 2016, apple launches the version OS X 10.11.6 (15 G 31). After I installed the new os x version, it asks me again to start the backup time machine to zero. I think it was because a few new features and/or adaptation of system and made as required. Then just web browsing, mail check and some work til today worksheet. Today (August 7, 2016), he asks again create a new backup on my mac.

    I suggest that you do not click on anything in this message!

  • 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:

    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?

    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

    Try a backup

  • 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.

  • How to upgrade an existing backup.  Sounds easier or faster to create a new backup each time.

    What I have to do a full backup of each time, or can I change my backup without creating duplicates?  I can't find the procedure.

    You can't update backups - only create new ones.  UPS back-ups just in the background when the phone is plugged into the power on wifi and not used. Quite easy and simple.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.
