• Can I partition my drive Time Machine to back up the other 2 drives?

  Is it possible to partition a hard drive and use it with Time Machine to back up the other 2 drives?

  Example: I want to save internal drive of my iMac and my external storage drive, and I wonder if I can partition a hard drive for use with Time Machine, in order to safeguard my internal drive on one partition and the external drive to another partition. Hope that makes sense.

  Yes, if it's not a time Capsule, but I wouldn't recommend it. I would use readers separated for each device you want to back up. If you put all one hard drive and this player goes down, then you have lost all your backups. With separate if backup fails a drive you will always have backups remaining intact.

• Time Machine will back up to two different computers on the same hard drive?

  I just got a Seagate Plus for Mac backup copy.  When I plugged it in, right away, he said "Would you use Time Machine?" (as opposed to included Seagate Dashboard).  I said 'Of course'.  It is then backed up my computer all with Time Machine.  So far so good.  But my wife also got an iMac, running OS 10.9.5 (don't ask!)  Can I plug the drive into his computer and ask Time Machine to back up?  Or who will crush the back-up, I just make my computer?

  TimeMachine will gladly be backup Mac on the same drive and separate them.

• Use Time Machine to back up files in Windows

  Can I back up files of the window automatically to the Time Machine in the Mac Help. I want to only backup data from applications.

  Thnx.

  Time Machine is not 100% reliable in the backup and restore of Virtual Machines and I would never use Time Machine to back up Virtual Machines and would exclude the folder containing my Virtual Machines to be backed up by Time Machine!

  That said, if the files in question are outside of the Virtual Machine and inside the OS X Filesystem, for example in your Home folder, then Time Machine will back up what the file system of the host that is not excluded.

• Time machine: old back to merge with another of

  Hello

  I have a problem my back disc is full. And I have similar backups. whenever time machine backs up all the files (I thought it automatically adds only new... boh.) Anyway could you suggest me how to merge the old backups in order to keep a backup with older and newer files in the corresponding folders? Can I do it manually, but what paths of files across? I know on the restoration in disk utility, but is used to copy a disc shape to another, I read. I have all in one disc, and I want to do new backup now that the mac is new. Thank you very much. Guido

  I suggest that you forget about 'fusion' backups Time Machine. Time Machine backups are complex, they contain several levels of permissions and access rules to prevent users from editing, display or delete data belonging to others (or system files).

  Time Machine also manages the size of backup itself, so even if you manage to make "a big backup" eventually he will get full & TM will remove the oldest copies (often without warning).

  Apple don't support editing, merging, or otherwise change the backups Time Machine.

  You would be wiser to upgrade the old backup in a safe place and start a new backup to a new disk. If you need old files you can retrieve them from the old backup.

  Another option is to make a copy of your important data for archiving. Simply copy these files to another disk instead of depend only on the Time Machine backups.

• Using Time Machine to back up the .lrcat

  I have watched and read several tutorials on how to backup the catalog and none of them address the possibility or the option to backup using Time Machine.  Am I missing something here?  If I hung on my TM system, wouldn't I automatically have a backup of the .lrcat file?  I appreciate assistance as I am a newbie of LR.

  It is best to avoid allowing Time Machine backup you Lightroom 1 or 2 catalogs when the application runs. Thus, placing Lightroom 1 or 2 in the list of Time Machine is recommended. Lightroom beta 3 and most likely the final version are automatically placed in the list of Time Machine when they run, but deleted when closed. This ensures that Time Machine does not interfere with the Lightroom Catalog when it is open, but it saves when it is closed.

• How to back up to external hard drive using time machine

  I just bought a new drive external toshiba with 500 GB of memory. When I tried to back up my computer last night through a time machine, I thought that it worked, but when I woke up this morning, time machine told me that my oldest and the most recent backup is none which means that it does not cross. I tried again this morning but after hitting "back up now" time machine prepares the backup, and then start it, giving me a ridiculously ETA such a 15 hours, then never completely complete the back which is really confusing so I do not know what to do.

• Is - this time machine back up the record of the iCloud drive in the Finder?

  Background: I recently started using iCloud drive on my iMac with OS X El Capitan 10.11.5. I also continue to use a 3 GB CAP to automatically back up my computer using time machine.

  Discussion: I copied some files more in player iCloud (under Favorites in the Finder) folder to appear on my drive to iCloud. Obviously the synchronization service iCloud provides is great, but I want to that I am also able to backup these files on my time capsule as well for peace of mind, and it would be a nuisance if I constantly have to move files out of the iCloud drive to another location on my computer to make sure that the files are also backed up regularly on the time capsule.

  Question: Time Machine also backs up everything (all types of files - excel, pdf, word, etc.) that I added in iCloud drive folder on my computer?

  Thank you!

  Yes. Time Machine back to iCloud by car, but not where you'd expect.

  Look for the path below in your Time Machine backup...

  

  It's YOURdriveNAME > users > YOURaccountNAME > library > mobile Documents > com-apple-CloudDocs

  1 n ° put them on a regular external drive and the value of Time Machine to back up as well; the files you want to keep should be at least two disks in case one of them goes down.

  2. they will not be usable until the restoration.

• Time Machine won't back up e-mail messages

  Since the installation of El Capitan, Time Machine is not back up e-mail messages. The mailboxes are backed up, but their content is empty. To do this, I copied a mailbox (with .mbox extension) on my desktop, then tried to import it into Mac Mail, but got an error message "no valid mbox not found file." Old messages (before the update of El Capitan) have been backed up, which I confirmed by reviewing the entries in an old Time Machine backup. The exclusion list is empty.

  Possibly related: I switched from POP3 to IMAP with El Capitan.  I'm storing e-mails on the Mac Mail client, in different folders and subfolders. I can access the messages without access to Internet, so thought that once I moved to a folder in Mac Mail that they have resided on my MacBook instead of the Gmail server. My hypothesis is false?

  I'm under El Capitan, OS version 10.11.2 on a MacBook Pro for mid-2010. I use Time Machine to back up to a LaCie drive and start these backups manually several times a week.

  Please bring the Mail browser window to the front, then enter the Time Machine. You will see a series of windows Mail cascading at the time, each representing a snapshot of the database of e-mail.

  Scroll to the most recent snapshot. Don't you see the content of the message?

• New configuration of Time machine

  Ive ordered a new d2 quadra HD Laetitia.

  The new rebel is supplied with the software for installation and other maintenance actions.

  I don't know what kind of file system is in the rebel.

  1, do I need to format the new Laetitia before except that it for time machine?

  2, the rebel can work as a machine of time if not formatted and leave these files in the State?

  3, is time machine knows what it is to the AutoFormat and Laetitia it?

  Thank you

  When you get the Lacie, connect it to the iMac and launch disk utility.  Use to format the new DHM as Mac OS extended (journaled), that it is used with your iMac reformatted and it will totally wipe clean. DO NOT use any software of Lacie.

  Once the EHD are format Mac OS extended (journaled) Time Machine should start and invite you to use the new DHM as your TM drive. From there, follow the onscreen controls. You can learn more about TM to use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support
