TimeMachine erases files?

Lost any content using Time Machine as a return to the top.

What I did:

2009 iMac running OS 10.6.8.

Make a TimeMachine backup to an external drive.

Installed El Capitan of iMac.

Migration Assistant/TimeMachine to restore content to the iMac.

IMac ran slowly and applications are not supported by El Capitan.

Re-installed Snow Leopard and Migration Wizard used/TimeMachine to restore backed up files to clean the snow leopard.

It seems that he was more content in the external drive TimeMachine to restore to the iMac

Looks like that TimeMachine erased the files after it their copied in El Capitan of the first restoration.

We didn't see any warning that the files would be deleted from external TimeMachine upward.

How can I get the files back?

Hello gregfromoakland,

I understand that you are looking to get back to Snow Leopard to go to El Capitan, while retaining the files were backed up by Time Machine. Fortunately, your data should still be intact, but is not accessible from Snow Leopard. The article linked below for details how to use the recovery on your Mac partition to use the version of El Capitan of Time Machine to restore your files and Mac OS X at the point before the installation of the El Capitan.

  • Pavilion P6-2100: a virus erased files recovery D: drive and disabled windows update

    When I realized that my Windows 7 was not updated as usual on my Pavilion P6-2100, I found that at least one of the files associated with the software update was missing in the area of abuse.  I was going to do a refresh of the system and then found that the recovery files in drive d: had been erased.  Googling the problem indicated that the problem was caused by a virus.  It seems to have other problems, except that Windows 7 is not updated.  (I hope that's the only problem).  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  • Lightroom randoming erase files suddenly

    I use Lightroom 6.0 on a windows 7 PC, import of Canon CR2 files.  I'm not convert to DNG.

    but it helps XMP "sidecar" System.  As of January 30, 2016, when I import the CR2s, the folder containing the CR2s is suddenly empty.

    The files are there prior to importation in Lightoom.  Somehow, Lightroom can access the files, but I can't see them.  Operation

    system displays the records in question as being empty.

    I already tried the visualization of hidden within these folders files and checked the trash of the system, in one case, I imported the new CR2 files and when

    I have I have JPEG exported from the CR2 newly imported into a folder that contains other files JPEG, existing JPEGS all got erased.  I've been using Lightroom

    for months, without any kind of problems of this kind.

    Hi Pouillon,

    You choose the movement at the time of import into Lightroom?
    Because moving can cause the original images from their original location to the destination location selected at time of importation.

    If these images are available in Lightroom after import, you can right-click / command, click on the image and choose display in the Explorer/Finder, which would take you to the actual location of the image on your hard drive.

    Kind regards

  • Secure erasing files - at the vmdk level?

    Hi all

    We are implementing a corporate secure deletion policy by which our support staff will use a Windows tool that supports at least US DOD 5200, 28 - STD file deletion (all reasonably simple), but he was asked if the erasure spreads through to the underlying disk to VMware and if so, is the data stored in the disk correctly deleted also?

    Our file servers are W2K3 and have HBA connections with our without.  VMWare "disks" are stored in hard (s) on the SAN.

    Your comments and advice are appreciated.

    LEA

    Hello

    Moved to forum security and compliance.

    If your VMDK is stored on a storage that does not "copy-on-write", then it is possible to run a wipe program DoD disk in the virtual machine to zero level the VMDK. However, this may not work if you do not fully understand the underlying storage.

    For linked clones, this will erase the link but will not erase the captain VMDK. Or this will remove any file .vswp, .vmsn, or .vmss files. These have images memory and therefore should also be properly deleted. If its not simple to delete a virtual machine to the DoD standards. Data disc are fine but the memory data is a little more difficult.

  • I used my new 4 to Seagate Backup Plus on my laptop. He said he had to erase files to make it compatible with Time Machine. Now to 4 is full and cannot be recognized. What should I do?

    I'm on OSX El Capitan 10.11.3 and I've never used before to Seagate Backup Plus 4. I wasn't able to put the files using the Macbook Pro. It was purchased only a few hours ago.

    After plugging in, he asked if I would use it for Time Machine, and it should be deleted so that it is compatible with Time Machine. This is my first time to use an external hard drive on my laptop, and it is also my first attempt to use Time Machine.

    My external hard drive appears only on the disk utility now. Help, please.

    In the above image, you click the physical drive. It does not show the available space. You will need to click on the item "Untitled" below to see the space actually available. "Untitled" is the real partition on the disk.

  • How to remove the old timemachine/backup files from an old hard drive

    I did not use a hard disk for time machine for several years (replaced by the 3 TB model). I had a few back normal of the files on it and everything just deleted the folder backups.backupdb. All but 7 mb removed. I then filled the hard disk with the other files. Now, I want to remove these 7 MB.

    I said my mac to remove all the locked files, no luck. I changed the permissions of the main folder, open and said the mac to do the same to inclusive all files, no luck. I did the same thing to each folder in the folder backupdb, no luck.

    I even dug deep into the HD/system/library/coreservices records and released the boot.efl and bootx files and no removal of chance.

    A secure boot has not helped.

    Reformatting the drive is not an option that I have thousands of files on that drive.

    Any suggestions?

  • 4.1.1 fusion erases files on the Mac desktop that are deleted in Fusion

    I have merge 4.1.1 installed on a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.8.  If I download a file on the Mac desktop and then drag and drop it on the desktop of Windows XP which runs under Fusion, a box of "copy" just stating that the file is copied to the virtual machine.  If the file is 95MB, for example, copy the area shows the progress of the 95MB copy to the VM.  So far so good.  At the same time, a file is created on the Mac desktop which is a duplicate of the file slipped to the virtual operating system of Windows.  If I trash the file on the Mac desktop, it removes the file on the Windows desktop as well.  I-mode installation of VMware Fusion full screen and have a second monitor on the Mac, where I've been the VMware virtual machine.

    It's as if the file on the desktop Mac was in fact the only real file and one on the virtual machine has been a 'shortcut' or 'alias' in the file.  Not sure if I just something I have to change in the settings of merger to prevent this, or if this is normal behavior.

    Bill

    It seems that you have enabled the functionality of records at the Office for this Virtual Machine VMware Fusion mirror.  Check the settings of records in reverse in the Virtual Machine settings and uncheck the box office under folders in reverse.
