• Migration of Time Machine to the new drive, backups are larger than the Original drive

  I am currently migrating my Time Machine backups from a 2 TB WD My Passport for Mac to a new WD 6 to my book for Mac. I have 63 backups on the old disk, and Finder says that the reader has TB filled 1.96.

  However, each individual backup is about 350 GB, which certainly does not. I think normally it was something weird with the Finder listing the wrong sizes, except that when I copy the backups to the new disk, they copy effectively to 350GB a piece. I initially tried to copy everything the ~ 2 TB Backups.backupdb at once, but it was so great, she didn't, then I copy on each both a backup in a folder that I had planned to rename "Backups.backupdb" at the end. At this rate, I will fill new TB cases 6 drive long before copying all backups on.

  How is that possible?

  Just to be complete, I'm using a Macbook Pro of the retina 2012, 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 graphics card Intel HD 4000 1536 MB, 512 GB of storage, under OS X 10.11.3.

  Time Machine saves the previous backups for the continuous backup size to become more wider until there is no more space on the backup drive. It is quite normal because Time Machine is an archive backup utility.

• Delete older backups time machine from the server

  I have a small number of iMacs here that back up using Time Machine on our local network to an external hard drive on an iMac running server. I added a second external hard drive and I say most of the Mac to use instead. Once they have saved once the new drive safely - how can I remove the old backup of the first disc? Is it safe to just delete the sparsebundle to it? Or is there a way to do it properly

  TIA

  Andy

  Yes, it is safe to delete the sparsebundle in the old media from backup after you remove as the backup location and create your 1st upward on the new location. Since your iMac is now pointing to the new backup media, they are more associated in the former. If you have no other Mac backup on old media, you can simply reformat.

• Cannot access my backup time machine on external hard drive once I changed my hard drive

  Since I changed my hard drive on my mac pro book I can't access the time machine back up on my external hard drive. All the shows when I connect the hard drive, but I can't access it.  Any ideas?

  I use El Captain MacBook Pro (15-inch mid-2012),

  By changing the hard drive, you have also lost all preferences, including those for Time Machine. You can have success by cloning back from the old system to the new drive to get back them.

  Or, simply erase the backup drive, reconfigure Time Machine preferences, then let time Machine do a new backup.

• Time machine removed the external drive without warning

  Hello

  I had an external hard drive with a time Machine to the top of my old macbook pro. Today I plugged my new mackbook pro and TIme Machine asked me if I wanted to use it as a return to the top. I said yes, and the process has begun. Then I saw that he had erased everything I had previously on the external hard drive...

  so I stopped immediately.

  Now, my external hard drive is empty with only a couple of the new backup folders... and everything disappeared. Please help, I have all my work on this hard drive and very important documents.

  Thank you very much!

  Maybe this, I used it when nothing else worked, but nothing is a bet of 100%

  the more you use that drive for now more you'll destroy what could be there so disconnect now!

• Can't resize external backup Time Machine in the hard disk partition

  I have a Seagate Expansion to drive 3 that I use for storing files as well and Time Machine. Initially when I set up the drive, I allocated 350GB for the partition that I use with Time Machine.

  I use a 256GB MacBook Pro and Time Machine is now advising me constantly backup capsule is short of space. I have 2 questions:

  1. Disk utility does not allow me to resize the partition of Time Machine (I can only reduce the size using resize controls). Also, I can't delete the partition, because the minutes signed is grayed out (see screenshot) - However, I am able to erase this partition. What can I do to resize (and expand) this partition, or delete it and create a larger partition for use with Time Machine?
  2. What is the best size to send to the Time Machine partition in order to keep my Mac saved 256 GB?

  Thanks in advance!

  A drive that is mounted or shared may present as "Busy" that could prevent resizing.

  Try to disassemble the disc (with the assembly/disassembly button in disk utility) and see if it works better. Then mount it again before leaving the disk utility, or do a reboot to mount again.

• How to remove backups Time Machine to a specific drive

  I can't find how to better use Time Machine in my situation. Here is my configuration:

  I have a 6 TB external drive dedicated as a Time Machine backup. It backs up my internal drive as well as the three external drives (A, B, C). Player "A" is always connected and is constantly supported, but readers 'B' and 'C' are linked only from time to time to archive older files.

  I recently made a few changes on the disc 'B' and left connected so it was saved, but Time Machine tells me I don't have enough room... it seems he's trying to save the whole 1.3 TB of data rather than the 15 GB or if I've changed.

  I'd like to time Machine would be just delete old backups from the 'B' drive specifically, but except that, what I would do is manually delete older backups for just the "B" drive get rid of enough space to do a new backup, but I get an error when you try to delete the files off the backups. How can I get rid of backups for a specific player?

  Thank you!

  Visit Time Machine FAQ of Pondini helps with Time Machine. You will use the Time Machine application in your Applications folder for managing backups. There is an excellent explanation on the site linked above that explains how to remove backups or backup files.

• Backup Virtual Machines on the (external) drive using only vSphere4 customer?

  Hello

  I'm trying to make a backup of my virtual drive installed on an external hard drive (eSATA). The disc is recognized and everything seems fine, but I can't find a feature in vSphere4 client that allows me to copy a virtual machine. In "Datastore Browser", there is a function that allows to move the virtual machine to a data store to another, but not copy.

  The only option that I've found so far is to copy the virtual machine for the labtop vSphere4 a client by using the "Download" feature but it is very very slow due to 100MBit/s network and HARD drive connected by USB.

  I missed something in the vSphere4 customer?

  I am aware that VMware Data Recovery does just that, but I don't have the money to buy the necessary license.

  Kind regards

  Thomas

  One option is to enter the folder, select all the files, right click and select copy, and then create a new folder, enter into it, right click and select Paste.

• Backups Time Machine to the Cloud Service

  Is it possible to point time machine for a Cloud Computing service? If this isn't the case, it would be a great ability to have in OS X.

• Backup Time machine to the older operating system?

  I have an iMac OSX 10.7.5, I want to give to someone running.  It is backed up with Time Machine.  I also have an old iMac 10.5.8 which is good enough for my use in my Studio running.  It is possible to wipe the iMac running 10.7.5 and restore it on the iMac running 10.5.8?

  Depends on what is the minimum version of Mac OS X requires the latest iMac. If it came with 10.7.x installed when it was new, you cannot run a small version of Mac OS X.

• Virtual machine does not start after restoring from Time Machine to the new Imac

  I got my IMac replaced by Apple, after that they could not fix the old one.  They did a full restore from a Time Machine backup.  The virtual machine does not open now.   When I navigate to the file to try to open the virtual machine at the VMware logo in the bottom right of the icon displayed with large yellow exclamation appears on the icon?  Anyone encountered this problem before.  I'll take the Imac in Saturday if I can not solve.  The machine has the same size as before.  There are a few aspects of sharing with the Mac application miss me?

  According to the MacVirt.vmdk folder, you have the right number of segments of shared disk so you should be able to create a new VM by pointing to the disc in the new VM Wizard by pointing to the MacVirt.vmdk file.

  Note: After you create the new Virtual Machine, I would not suggest the Virtual Machine to stop, pause and close merge and then move all *.vmdk files in the package of the virtual machine, and then manually change the computer configuration files virtual .vmx and change the path to a little to view the MacVirt.vmdk file.  In this way, everything is in one package and is easier to maintain.

• How to set up backup Time Machine with MacBook?

  Hello community:

  I wonder what is the best way to configure a Time Machine backup with a new MacBook.

  Because the device has only a USB port that is also used to load, I don't really feel comfortable that I can only backup wile, the MacBook is on battery. That doesn't seem fair.

  One possibility would be to use the adapter USB C AV that she can continue to charge the MacBook while being a USB hard drive is connected. But I'm not a big fan of having to deal with three cards for a simple task like a backup.

  Apple promotes wireless with the MacBook. One possibility is to use a (rather expensive) Time Capsule or a NAS that takes care of Time Machine.

  There are now hard drives wireless market. Does anyone have experience with these?

  I'd be curious to know how you do it.

  Thank you!

  Ideal for keeping backups Time Machine 'behind the scenes', you want to use the solutions SIN or Time Capsule. You can also use a 802.11ac AirPort Extreme with a USB external HD as well.

  Don't forget the partial backups will occur at least once per hour after the first full backup is made to take full advantage of what offers Time Machine. Although the connection of an external disk directly to the MacBook would potentially offer the best performance of overall data transfer, it must be connected.

  Unfortunately, I have no experience with hard drives wireless so I can't help you there. Because they would have to connect to the same network of Wi - Fi as the MacBook, all backups would go first the wireless AP, then, on this disc. I can only imagine the performance of data transfer to be a little dismal at best.
