Use WD - NAS (MyCloud) with OSX Server Time Machine

Hello

Mounted a my WD-MyCloud-SIN AFP share to the TM server on OSX Server (latest version). Unfortunately, the disc shows up with no KB for backup and even if I choose this server/sharing, backup TM does end with mistake almost immediately. OSX used on the server and the Client is 10.11 (El Capitan) with the latest patches/updates.

Someone at - it an idea if this combo is supposed to work (if so, how)?

TKS in advance for your help

    Recently in Egypt, changes of daylight has been cancelled and I guess that's the cause of the problem!
    Any ideas?

    If time was recently cancelled, you can go to your control panel:

    Otherwise, you probably need to adjust your zone settings on your computer using Microsoft time zone Editor.

  • Mac OSx Sierra Time Machine WD my cloud

    Since upgrading to Mac OSX Sierra my Macbook Pro and Macbook Air are not capable of doing Time Machine back Ups to a WD MyCloud drive that is connected to our router.

    We have updated the firmware on the WD My Cloud drive to the latest version and contacted WD on this problem, so far they have not come with a solution to the problem.

    If you open Time Machine preferences and then observe what happens, by hitting 'Back Up Now' systems do "Looking to save the disc" then "Preparing backup" then stop and then go back to the status of 'rest' without backup anything to the top at all. It is the same on both machines. You can see here: Time Machine Back Up My Cloud

    Notice how the drive icon changes to the point where it stops working and then goes to the other drive which is a USB.

    Now, to complicate the issue further... an iMac connected via Ethernet to the router can go back to the My Cloud drive perfectly as before. If Apple changed something with the wireless protocols I think but that?

    Hi stevefrompembury,

    Thanks for posting in the Community Support from Apple! I understand that your or your Mac back up Time machine since the update. Backups are certainly crucial to ensure that your data remains secure, so I'm happy to offer some suggestions.

    You have already tried a few milestones. I recommend you take a look through this article so that you have covered all the steps mentioned, including the section titled 'Control your readers': If you can not back up or restore your Mac with Time Machine

  • using NI USB 9201 with LabVIEW Real-time

    Hello

    I try to use a USB of NI 9201 on a remote real-time target. Here's what I did: 1) tricked out of a desktop PC to serve as target RT using the instructions provided on the Web site of NOR. He now starts in an RTOS with LabView RTOS 9.0. (2) I communicated successfully with the help of a host computer that has a windows with LabView 2009 BONE and I installed the software from the computer remote RT target host using ethernet. However, my problem is when I plug NI 9201 USB on the target RT that I do not see the material listed on the devices tab in MAX and interfaces on remote systems. I tried to get the manuals for the HW 9201, but it seems not much explained here, or maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • How to use the creative cloud with a server

    I have a graphic team. We are working on videos, photos and graphics of all kinds. Now, everyone has remote on my Imac for work on projects. Which is quite problematic. I'm looking to build a server to store everything. I thought that everyone can work from there. An agent of chat adobe doesn't recommend. She felt I should work locally and upload to the server. That, however, becomes a waste of time when we are working on the video big say. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do?

    I would like anything.

    The details depend on the program. Illustrator is quite sensitive when working directly on the servers, not so many other programs. The rest is too vague. A video server has different requirements from a simple file server in terms of performance, both on its network connection and storage, like the actual size of the team and the number of people accessing the server, the size of the files and so forth much important.

    (2) may source.sntp.address be specified as a name address to be rosolved by DNS? (It seems to me that if the name cannot be resolved, the Agency starts up in safe mode...)

    Thanks in advance for any response,

    Hi Marco,.

    (1) if the time server SNTP becomes inaccessible, the cRio updates local time independently, from the last time value gets from the server

    (2) you're right, it does not work properly. The right way to express the source SNTP uses the IP address

  • Time Machine can't see NAS to format / partitioned in El Capitan

    We have two MacBook Pro and 4 car TB WD MyBook attached to our wireless router. This disk is partitioned and used for Time Machine backups. We did not have problems with this configuration, up to yesterday, that we decided to format the disk and repartition it. We did it with my MacBook Pro which is running El Capitan (10.11.3) and the newer disk utility program. I plugged the drive locally on the laptop and he came back and said that through fine form/partitioning layout. However, I moved to the router as a NAS and went to setup Time Machine... Time Machine could not see the player. I could map the drive and write to her through 'connect to server... ". "without any problem. Even tried the thing to "map the drive on the desktop" to make it appear on the list of drives available in Time Machine. Nothing worked! I thought something may had been bad installation, or gone bad, partitioning and started... always the same results. The third time, I decided to use MacBook Pro my wife who still works Yosemite with the old "Disk Utility" program on this subject. I went through and formatted/partitioned it the same as before. However, when I hooked up like the SIN this time and the mapped drive he appeared right on Time Machine just as it should have the first time.

    Is there a problem with Time Machine, find readers NAS to format / partitioned in El Capitan? Is there a setting that needs to be changed in the new "Disk Utility" program to make it work? I'm a bit of a loss here...

    The router cannot possibly recognize a drive formatted by OS X. It uses an operating system that is totally foreign.

    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.)

  • 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.

  • First Time Machine to NAS backup freezes at the same point, Console polluted by the same mistakes.

    I just configured my LaCie 5big Network2 act as a time Machine, but it is not back up correctly. When I run it always freezes at 14.70GB/237.71GB, even after deleting the backup and starting up again. I don't know if it of related or not, but the Console is littered with the same error messages (even if Time Machine is not running):

    If I stop the backup and restart it, it will get stuck after 7KB. If I delete the backup and starting a new one, it will get stuck at 14,70 Go again. This could be the cause? The NAS is configured correctly and firmware is up to date, disks are operational and functioning perfectly.

    My system is a 2015 retina MBP 15 "16GB / 500GB.

    Time Machine is a LaCie 5big Network2.

    LaCie can support this, but isn't Apple. the NAS can have its own propreitary features or a network can introduce the software is not designed for questions.

    If you want to use a NAS for backup, you can consider Carbon Copy Cloner as alternative

  • Cloning of a Mac mini with application Server

    We bought a condo in Florida and I want to my server it doubles. I use Mac mini (2 different models) with 2 drives external (one for Time Machine backups) and one for data.

    What is the best way to install the Apple Server on Florida related to the Mac mini so I don't have to install it from scratch?

    Yesterday I tried (in vain) to use the Migration Wizard to move all of my Mac mini to the Florida-bound one. Can I use 3rd party app "Carbon Copy Cloner" instead?

    Any recommendations on how to configure the 2nd server would be appreciated.

    The replication server is a relatively trivial process and can be accomplished by using disk utility.  However, the source drive and the destination drive should not be active at the time of cloning.  For example, you have Master Mini and you want to be replicated on Mini replica.  The best way to do it with the included tools must start Master Mini from another disk that contains an operating system to start.  Then start the Mini replica in target disk mode and connect it to the Mini Master (already started from another drive).  Disk utility to clone the Master disk on the drive of replica.

    Ah, but cloning is the easy part.  The question I have for you is that you really want an exact replica?  The reason why I ask, is that your current server should have a name and a fully qualified domain name.  It's server.pauljohnson.com and it has a 10.0.0.10 IP address.  If you clone the device to another Mac, there will also be a name of server.pauljohnson.com and it has a 10.0.0.10 IP.  If two of your networks are configured on the 10.0.0.0/24 subnet then you won't be able to connect to each other.  Similarly, if you depend on external access to devices and must comply with DNS, then you can only point to one of the servers, unless you have a form of installation program to distribute the load between the two locations of load balancing.

    What services run you on the servers other than the Server Time Machine?  Do you intend to have a VPN tunnel between the two institutions?  If you use Open Directory, and DNS, you can configure master and replicas of the two services.  Of course, this should only be done with a tunnel VPN in place I would not recommend exposing these services to the internet.

    Then await you replicate data also?

    Start with a list of services and a list of expectations about how you want client machines work when moving from one place to another.

  • Backup using Time Machine on two external drives?

    I know that time the machine supports two separate discs, but my question is:

    For example:

    If I have a Pegasus RAID of 8 TB, can I use two external 4 TB to my time machine backup disks?

    Time machine splits my data through the two HD?

    Thank you!

    Steve

    As far as I know no, TM will not cover the files on drives.

    You could create a second RAID using 2 4 to disks with older versions of disk utility (training of RAID is no longer supported in El Capitan) or via the Terminal and use it, but I recommend strongly against this. RAIDs always have additional layers of vulnerabilities, so you're much better off getting 8 or 10 TB of drives for your back - up (s) 2 back Ups always better than 1.

    Hope this helps, Greg

  • direct AFP share vs time machine services

    I'm trying OSX Server 3.x (Mavericks), mainly to use it for Time Machine backups, but all her trying some of the other services as well installed.  My question is about the time service Machine that comes with os x Server.  I don't see myself using most of the other features on OSX Server, I will list out all my needs to the end server, but most of them can be easily made with different solutions open source, in some cases in a more flexible way, it seems then that means OSX Server out of the box.  But TM backups for my home network is the only thing that OSX Server provides I think is not provided in any other way, in addition to buying a Time Capsule.  Don't I have that right?

    Time Machine, the 1, 2 or 3 options:

    1. Buy a time Capsule.  To my knowledge, Time Capsule does not allow me to set a size limit for each client computer.  They are just fighting for space until the 3 TB drive fills up.  Also 3 TB is barely big enough (except USB).  With OSX Server I can throw in a disc of TM in there to manage several macs with big backup discs.  I also have an old mac alternative pro sitting here who need a goal.
    2. Run OSX Server.  check.
    3. Forget OSXServer, manually create a part of the AFP on mac server, create a sparsebundle to every customer mac that I intend to back up and since client mac, mount the sparsebundle and use it as reader of TM.

    So the question is: are there at - there any functional difference between Option2 Option3 technique?  TM OSX Server service a service works any extra well beyond the AFP, to make it more reliable in some way then option3?  If OSX Server provides just a comfortable GUI wrapper around the same underlying mechanism base mounting a sparsebundle via AFP, maybe do a little easier to monitor what is happening, etc...  Its nice to have if I happen to have OSX Server running, but if he is not so maybe I would be ok with option3 as his offering the same guarantees in terms of network dropouts, resource conflicts, and such things.  OSX Server makes it easier in some way or more reliable to stay mounted on the sparsebundle containing the tm, unlike option3 backup?

    Any thoughts?

    Also compare OSX Server to Time Capsule if you have knowledge.  OSX Server seems to bring some benefits... but I don't know if OSX Server just basically provides a way to configure the creation of the sparsebundle and I could just as easily do with hdiutil, even on a TC, but certainly in option3.

    Also, is there any additional functionality of TM put into play, if I configure Manager profile or something like that?  It comes to the essence of a single user in a network with multiple Macs, but a main user... it's not complicated.

    Beyond backup TM, I'll use this area for the following services, some of which may be dealt with by OSX Server and some cannot, or could be better managed by full versions open source:

    Time machine, AFP shares SMB sharing, Web, Pydio, Plex, iTunes server (maybe), FTP (pure-ftpd), postgres DB (need pydio or other uses I will come with), possibly git or necessarily crashplan finally.  I also can I possibly transition some critical documents of mission from a NAS separate mirrored on this machine using a raid mirror under OSX.

    Any thoughts welcome...

    Also following this question, does anyone know if its possible to have TM on the server machine, backup itself via the OSX Server TM service hosted on the same computer?  When I try to select a time backup device on the server machine, it does not display the optional service TM backup device, it shows that local hard drives that are available and stores the data in the normal way of local drive... not in a sparsebundle as do all other mac clients.  NOTE - I have service TM put TM backups on a separate drive internal then the boot drive... so it is always a good idea to make a TM on the same drive, so be it.  But it seems that I need a partition dedicated to isolate the backup of the server itself... or I need to use option3 and create manually a sparsebundle to save the boot drive, since he cannot see the time service machine OSX Server...   Don't I have that right?

  • Impossible to 'create' Time Machine backup service

    I have Mac OS x Server v 5.1.7 running on a Mac mini (2.7 Ghz core i7, 8 GB RAM, mid-2011)) with OSX El Captain (10.11.6).

    When I try to add a folder to use as the destination for my backups Time Machine, the button 'create' on the next screen does nothing!

    How can I diagnose what is the error (if any?) and how can I work around this?

    OK, I've been searching and I found everything about TIME MACHINE on these forums, but my question is still not answered.  My suspicion for why my attempt is a failure is due to the fact that the drive mounted by the mac mini is formatted with NTFS and mounted using Tuxera NTFS for Mac. How can I confirm this? If it is true, is it documented for OSX Server Anywhere? Why is there not an error message or something to help me?
