• Time Machine the new disk transfer has not moved all the time

  I have a Time Machine backup to an external drive. It works very well. However, he was beginning to run out of space, so I bought a new, bigger HD.

  I followed all the steps of Time Machine: how to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support.

  I then waited 12 hours for that copy.

  Around midnight, I noticed the copy is complete. There was a message that iWork had not been copied because he needed a different operating system. But I rejected. There are no other messages.

  I changed the Time Machine preferences on the new disk. And fell asleep.

  This morning, I walked into a Time Machine.

  Only the first date from July 2014, was on the new disc of TM. Then there was five times after midnight when the new drive was saved.

  But there is nothing in any of the years between the first date and after midnight.

  I know that there are hundreds of TM captures on the original disc. And I've used them very well.

  I tried to copy individual files from the old drive to TM to the new, but it is not possible to "change the backups."

  10.10.5 system

  What should do?

  While in Time Machine, to see all the volumes mounted shift - command - c.    Information derived from Linc Davis.

  If this does not work, try to copy the file to disk/restore utility using to copy the backup to a new location. Please note that this will reformat the destination partition.

• 'Time Machine' backups on disk could not be ejected because it uses "Photoshop".

  Almost daily when I try to eject my disk Time Machine, I'm greeted by "the drive 'Backups Time Machine' could not be ejected because it uses"Photoshop"." It's super annoying.

• Time machine backup my photos that are only saved in iCloud?

  Mac Book Pro version: 10.11.3.  Memory: 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5

  I record copies "full" of my photos in iCloud.  I am now saved my computer with Time Machine, I wanted to know that it would also make a back up of files that I have on iCloud.  and if not then how can I do to save my iCloud on an external hard Bank without first download the files on the laptop...?

  Thank you!

  Time Machine backs up everything on your Mac, including photos by iCloud if you only send copies reduced to your Mac (storage management) it's what will be saved.

• Time Machine 'clean up older backups' takes too long

  I see that Time machine for my iMac does daily backups. Recently, he completed a backup in an hour or two. Then it does «clean up older backups...» ». Unexpectedly, it takes a lot of time, up to 6 hours. Sometimes, I need to close and stop without completing the cleaning.

  Syslog says:

  05/07/16 9:32:35.518 AM com.apple.backupd [207]: deleted the backup of the Volumes/time Machine Backups/Backups.backupdb/dk/2016-03-07-072332 containing 6.51 GB; Now available, 251.2 GB 529,85 GB required

  05/07/16 9:32:35.537 AM com.apple.backupd [207]: removed 11 expired backups so far more space is needed - delete older backups to make room

  When I run the diagnostic tool EtreCheck, he said:

  myData [network]

  Total size: 997,71 GB

  Total number of backups: 25

  An older backup: 02/08/16, 08:50

  Last backup: 29/06/16, 09:50

  Backup disk size: too small

  997,71 GB backup size < (disc 664,27 GB X 3)

  The questions of the community are:

  Why cleaning taking so long?

  and

  If she tries to delete older backups can just go in there (/ Volumes/Time Machine Backups/Backups.backupdb/) myself to remove older archives?

  NO, stay away from the database of Time Machine. Cleaning of files may take a while, but you don't have to wait until it finishes. Just stop your Mac when you want, she can continue to clean later.

• best way to copy backups time machine on another disk

  From an article by Apple (here), it seems that the best way to copy a TM backup (since one external hard drive to another) is drag-and - drop in the Finder. The CCC does not (and not only Mac backup Guru)-due to types of file owner by Apple. My record is about 1.6 to. The Finder is still the best method to use?  TX

  Yes, in accordance with article. TBS 1.6 will take much time since you will be transferred via LAN. I suggest you use Ethernet. The 2011 model is expected to support Firewire. If the other computer also supports Firewire, then use it. If she supports Thunderbolt, then get the adapter from Apple. It will probably take more than 2.5 days.

• Time Machine backs up only on the local network connection

  Hello

  I have a LAN Ethernet and a wireless connection to the same network. Is it possible to force the backup Machien time to use only the ethernet LAN connection in all cases? I want to warn the TMB to limit the bandwidth of my wireless network.

  Ethernet to be the highest network interface ordered to force, and as long as you're connected Ethernet, it be the interface for all traffic.

  System-> network preferences

  

  If you want seamless switching between WiFi and Ethernet, then your router book the same IP address for the interface Ethernet and WiFi connections.  This is done differently by the router of different brands and models.  For an Airport Extreme/Time Capsule, it would be done by giving your Ethernet and TCP/IP WiFi of the same name from DHCP reservations settings, and then associate the DHCP reservation name with an IP address in Airport Extreme network settings.

• Time Machine, you see only not the ssd internal

  Today, I had my old OWC replaced for a bigger Samsung 850 EVO SSD SSD internal flash drive.

  I named the new SSD, the same as the old.

  The new SSD is the boot disk and it works without problems.

  But now I see that Time Machine does not see this new SSD (he did see and save the old).

  This rather new Samsung SSD is not supported by Time Machine and therefore not show under the volumes available?

  I already tried the following Terminal command:

  : write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1

  But no success with that and in my case it is an interior volume, perhaps the command is wrong then?

  Or am I mistaking here and are the Time Machine preferences "Select disk" only discs showing where you can save to and not FROM (in the 'Options' section, you can exclude certain things and it shows the disc)?

• Time machine backup is too large, that is not true, said

  After the upgrade to OS Sierra, Time Machine always tells me that the backup is too big to fit on the external drive that I use. I erased the disc and checked all volumes, I don't want to back up. He always tells me that the backup is 2 TB.

  My boot drive has 155 GB in use, I do not understand why TM attempts to use 2 TB. I've removed the preferences, he always tells me that it is too big. The external drive has 1 TB of free space.

  Any suggestions?

• Time Machine NAS RAID

  Goal: large, reliable Time Machine back-up.

  (No purpose: archiving.) I do that separately on optical carriers per year, double copies, which goes off site. I understand that optical media can degenerate over time - even if some are marketed as "of archive-quality" - and therefore based on a cloud of archiving is the way to go but for now he takes too much bandwidth and I'm worried about security. I recently got a burner external blu - ray: exceptional.)

  Question: can I use RAID for Time Machine if I connect by USB directly on my computer?

  Issue 1: reliability external drive. This has happened twice that I bought a property, brand, large external hard drive and was prematurely fail at a difficult time. My local computer guru said "it happens" and is "unpredictable" and just buy a new one, most won't. Or, for better quality, get a NAS - network attached storage that can be attached, they have the temperature control, mine is a RAID 2 discs, so there is that the degree of redundancy - but not, I learn, protect against a corrupt Time Machine backup and that can happen, or power increases (although it is on a high-tech power bar) , or theft, etc.

  Problem 2: using NAS, which I connected to a Terminal Airport Express via an Ethernet cable - if connected to the computer by WiFi - the Time Machine backup becomes a "sparsebundle" (set of files, in fact), encrypted file with password (?) drive access. However, this was work and I did a full restore of your data (no 'system') the other day with Migration Wizard when I got a new hard drive installed in my old iMac (also upgraded at the time of 10.9 to 10.11). It took over all night, but the wonder of wonders, it chugged along and finished and seems fine. (I have not checked tens of thousands of files individually!)

  (My SIN explicitly supports Time Machine, and I checked that box in the configuration of the SIN, and it seemed to work.) I didn't have to leave the mounted drive. Time Machine found hourly and used invisibly in the background.)

  Problem 3: I have rename my hard drives for some reason any and do not remember quite what its name was. I wonder if this is part of my problem (read more). But there is a method in Time Machine to 'Browse other discs of backup. " I was looking for a file that I kept outside my usual login "user" and so had not been returned when I used Migration Assistant for data recovery only.

  However, when I do this, then nothing is there. I've learned that sometimes, with an encrypted sparsebundle, wireless backup, you will have to let Time Machine sit for a few minutes before the back-ups start to appear, but now, with my new hard drive (with a new name) and the new version of the OS, there is simply nothing; just 'today' that shows only my current hard drive status. Obviously, there was something, or Migration Assistant wouldn't have worked, but during the inspection of the backup via Time Machine, the file seems to be here (whatever_my_computer - name_was.sparsebundle), but it is empty.

  If I just try to navigate in the Finder to the sparsebundle NAS Time Machine, I can find it but not to open it. Double click: nothing happens. It is not that I forgot to connection settings, this is what it do not ask me for them.

  This happened to me twice and the first time was the day after archiving (luck and good planning) and I thought that it is a kind suddenly lucky, but now it happened again.

  So, I tried a bit of searching and not found a clear answer to my question above. I do not see these links:

  TEM http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2013/11/24/Never-use-a-RAID-As-Your-Backup-sys.

  https://discussions.Apple.com/thread/7448896?start=0 & tstart = 0

  https://discussions.Apple.com/thread/5849068?TSTART=0

  Of them, it seems that a NAS that has an explicit ability to Time Machine might work (mine did), but is not fully functional, not approved by Apple and is completely unpredictable. My limits are described above. (I work around them).

  However, moving forward: I have this RAID 2 discs sitting around, seemingly more reliable than a drive external non-temperature controlled, and I wonder about the connection by USB directly on my computer. What is the downside of this? That is my question. Who will 'normally' work as a Time Machine backup external drive?

  Another option is to get two large external hard drives and the value of Time Machine to switch between the two. I have not tried, but apparently it was possible for the last iterations little Mac OS X.

  I have important data that requires careful management.

  Thank you all,

  Charles

  I use a direct attached Drobo (it is a very easy to use RAID device).

  I've always had problems with Time Machine on the network, so I stopped using it in this way. I've never had problems with the TimeMachine and direct-attached storage.

  With the Drobo if a disk goes bad, I buy a replacement and hot it swap for the failed drive.

• Failure of Time Machine

  I have a time machine backup to an external drive which was destroyed.

  When I get time machine, this drive is not displayed even if the backup is there, as well as the backup of my other readers...

  While it makes absolutely no sense for Apple to hide this backup from the view, especially when time machine is designed to recover data in case of emergency such as this, it is nevertheless the case.

• 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.

• Backup from Time Machine not recognized

  Hello. I have a mid-2011 21 "iMac 2.8 GHz i7 with 16 GB of RAM, running 10.11.4, El Capitan. My old 1 TB HDD (HARD drive) was giving me problems (grinding and draw and he had considerably slowed down), so I backed up the computer with Time Machine (which I did for years), and I bought a 1 GB SSD from OWC replacement kit. I installed it in the hard drive, location in my iMac, reinstalled the operating system, and the new drive is running great. No problems with it.

  The drive Time Machine is a disk HARD Seagate 2 TB external drive connected by USB to the computer.

  So, my next step is to transfer the old news of Time Machine in the new drive. I tried first Assistant Setup in recovery mode, but the Machine of the time in the car was not found (recognized). When I started normally, the drive of the Time Machine is visible on my desktop, and backup files appear in there.

  So, then, I ran on the drive disk utility. I could not launch 'repair' the disk as a whole (the button is dimmed when I click on the disc), but I fix the partition on the disk. No not found errors.

  Then I went in the Migration Wizard to move the files. But I had the same problem as before - Migration Wizard does not see the Time Machine drive.

  So. I tried to enter Time Machine 'Star Wars' show on the computer and dated backups appear on the right side of the screen, but then, when I go to look at, it does not appear that there is something in them.

  I kept the old drive HARD and (in panic), I ordered a box to put the old drive, and I'll try to get the files this way. But, I still want to use the files on my Time Machine drive.

  At this point, the only thing I have to save my documents, my pictures and family videos and music. If only I could get in the 'Home' on my Time Machine backup folder by clicking on the player, I will manually install the files 'Desktop', 'Documents', 'Movies', 'Music' and 'pictures '. I don't know if this is possible, and I have never done this. I don't like not everything 'Applications', or anything else, so I'm willing to do the grunt work on those reinstall the old way. Can manually install you the items in the folder to the home page of Time Machine in another drive?

  Any advice you can give literally will save me! I'm kinda at a loss on what to do. The last time I used Time Machine to do this (to transfer the files on the iMac 2011) it worked like a charm.

  Thank you! Clay

• time machine remove the backup target drive

  Running El Capitan - I have set up three units for Time Machine backup: a RAID and a dock that is used for a pair of alternation of readers of archive. One of two archives training to life in a safe Bank and I have Exchange it with the current drive once a week.

  Before I upgraded my OS, Time Machine would simply be two backups between some readers were available and do so without comment. Now, after the upgrade, Time Machine sees that one of the pair is missing and he complains. This means that one time every three hours Time Machine issues a warning that one of the players is not available.

  I have not found a way to disable this warning.

  Be resigning myself to this, I decided that I simply change the names of readers Archives are identical, and then remove the 'third' drive in the list. With this version of Time Machine, I don't see a button "select disk" or any other way for the list of target readers and remove one of them. The options button allows you to control the volume of the source, not the target volumes.

  Either I have to stop the needless alert or remove a drive in the list.

  Any suggestions?

  Re: community - the only results of a search of a community of Time Machine is under Mountain Lion. Sorry if this is too broad

  After losing all kinds of weather (including a right click on the list of drives for backup and the research in all directions - including multiple searches on google), I discovered that you have right click on the drive icon in the list to use or remove the drive. This follows a different set of rules than the Finder user interface.
