Using Time Machine for subsequent backups

• Can I use Time Machine for several different backups?

  I have my 500 Gb HD Macintosh that saves on two external hard drives (two 500 GB), so I always have two backups! But I have another external hard drive (1 TB) with a lot of footage on it I want backe up on top of a new external drive (1 TB)! It is possible to configure Time machine to do it automatically for me, also two different backups?

  TM can run a backup plan. You can include the other external drive backup on the backup TM drive or the existing disks as well as your Mac HD drive. You can save all the new 1 TB disk readers (or readers if you want to add others). 500 Gig drives are not big enough for all readers of backup too.

  What you might consider is use SuperDuper or CCC to back up the other disk to the new 1 TB drive.

• Is there an advantage to having a backup disk image of Macintosh HD (for MacBook Pro) to ease/speed of recovery after a disk failure rather than using Time Machine to recover?

  I'm trying to understand the best way to prepare for the recovery of a failure in the drive for a MacBook Pro.

  I do not understand the nuances of the time Machine - I know from personal experience that it is a recovery tool great when your existing drive is intact and you're just trying to restore a file.  But what happens if the drive has a hardware failure and needs to be replaced?

  Is there an advantage to take periodic images of Macintosh HD for quick recovery (and then using the incremental backups Time Machine to catch up to the current position).  Or Time Machine may facilitate a recovery in case of failure of the disc just as easily/quickly that will give it to have a separate image backup?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  YES!.  If you have a clone boot disk, you can either connect it to a MBP or Exchange it with the internal HDD failed and be back in business quickly.  Time machine, as good as is, can take several hours to restore your system, depending on the amount of data.

  For cloning, I recommend Carbon Copy Cloner.  It is not free, but it's worth the price:

  I use it in conjunction with Time Machine.  (two backups are better than one)

• I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

  I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

  You can add another drive to accept backups Time Machine... assuming it is correctly formatted for Mac to Mac OS extended (journaled), but things are not exactly "continue."

  You have not indicated if you intend to add the player to the USB port on the Time Capsule, or connect directly to your computer using USB or FireWire connections. Or the other method works, with the option to connect directly to the computer being the faster connection.

  Once the disc is added, you would go in Time Machine preferences (click the "clock" at the top of the screen on your Mac) to add the disk for Time Machine backups and delete the old Time Capsule disk, since backups will go is no longer this destination.

  Since you have a new drive, Time Machine will do a new full backup of your Mac and then go forward with incremental backups.

• Should I buy a Base Station for my Apple products to use Time Machine?

  Should I buy a Base Station for my Apple products? I have a Netgear CG3000D-RG gateway and also use Windows with this modem/router. I'm not able to backup using time machine and bought an external hard drive PassPort but I find it pretty annoying having to plug it in to my MBP whenever I want to do a backup. I would like to use the most convenient airport on my MBP feature, however, it seems pointless unless I have connected to my Netgear router/Modem base station. If I have to buy a base station to make the backup of my MBP easier? I also use 6s and iPad Air iPhone. I would be able to save these features too? Thank you!

  1. you must either have a Time Capsule or connect the drive to your computer when you perform a backup.

  2. Time Machine isn't back from iOS devices directly; they should be stored on a computer and the computer saved Time machine.

  I found that if it becomes necessary to use time machine to return to an earlier existence to reinstall the iphoto library, if for some reason, you lose lose, then when you try to synchronize your ipad is not recognized by the computer.  So when you try to synchronize the pictures, they are all removed from the ipad and trying to reinstall everything again.

  This may or may not work immediately.  In my case, only half the photos have been installed, and then the error message came that the rest of 9000 can be installed.

  I contacted Apple support team who has made various suggestions.  Subsequently clicking on a photo list in iTunes were all going again and pictures of 9000 then installed.  When I asked the support team what could happen I was told that it was a "glitch".  I don't like seeds they mean that there could be an error in coding somewhere.

  Here me again.  I use an iMac and iPad.  I don't know why XP and iPhone came.

• Backup and restore with MacPro and Pegasus using Time Machine

  Hello

  I have more than one mac mini, and Mac Pro.  I have external Pegasus 12 TB and two external hard drives of 4 TB.

  Im trying to back up all servers in those storage unit.

  I can see them in every window of servers as being selectable but I get an error of error OSSTATUS 2

  It was suggested to connect all readers behind the time machine backup, but it has not been that reliable.

  Do you have a suggestion of how to back up each server Pegasus 12 TB and 4 TB two external disks?

  I can't wait to hear your thoughts

  Joe

  From a given computer, you can back up all drives connected locally to this Time Machine backup drive.

  The backup drive Time Machine for a particular computer can be a locally attached disk, a drive attached to a "Tall" Time Capsule or a network drive 'shared' by another Mac on your network. The Time Machine backup disk cannot be a NAS drive, because the restoration of these discs is not completely reliable.

  The space required for the proper functioning of Time Machine is at least two times greater than the amount to save, and 2.5 to 3 times more is recommended.

• 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.

  Did you partition and format your new drive before using it? What version of Mac OS X? See use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support and that Mac Basics-Time Machine backs up your Mac. Visit Time Machine FAQ of Pondini helps with Time Machine. It is a vast site with almost everything that you need for using Time Machine. You will not find a better resource for Time Machine in one place.

• Using Time Machine or the Migration Assistant to transfer information from and old Mac to a new one

  I had to think about upgrading a Macbook Air to a Macbook Pro and have done research on how pretty much everything (files, account icloud, etc.) to move to a new computer so I know how to do it when the time comes. I didn't save my current computer at the time I got it and didn't know whether it was necessary to do it before the transfer. Also, I found two different ways to move information from one mac to another, one way being using the migration wizard, the other via the time machine. The problem is that I've never used time machine (I checked my settings and it is turned off). I was curious to know which option would be the 'best' way and if not never back up my computer would be a problem. (If its possible, could someone also please explain how to back up my computer?)

  Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward I hope to get a reply soon!

  I use Time Machine often (and have used since its introduction).  I also upgraded my Mac hardware quite often (about every 18 months).  Whenever I move to a new machine, I use the Migration Wizard (and not Time Machine).  I've never had a problem.

  Then I suggest that you need not Time machine specifically in order to change computers.  However, you really need to keep backups simply because the material is not, and without a backup, you are subject to lose everything you have on your computer.

• 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.

• Is it possible to use Time Machine to return to a VM work?

  We use VMware Fusion 2.0 with Windows XP Home Edition, SP 3 on a 20 "iMac with 3 GB of RAM with OS X 10.5.6. We are finally all the bugs out and things have been smooth. On Monday, we went and used a Windows program. While in the program a message here (as he does every day) an update to MacFee. I to do its thing. At the end he said that he needed to restart for the changes to take effect. I told him to call back me later because we were in the middle of something. When I logged on VM, I thought that the next time I started Windows it would apply regardless of the changes she had made.

  Last night I went to Fusion/Windows and every few seconds I now get an error message saying macafee does not work properly. I tried to remove it so I can reinstall, but even in the Add/Remove Programs tool, I get an error message. In addition, when I click on any of the Windows programs that I use (the only reason why I have a virtual machine at all is to use Quicken and trademark), there is a quick flash across the screen and then it goes back to the hills of Office Windows. So, basically, nothing works in Windows now.

  What ask is, can I use Time Machine to go back to the last backup of the virtual machine and restore it? Will be that screws things worse or that would work to correct the situation? It seems reasonable to leave Windows without rebooting to allow McAfee to apply his stuff would be completely hose VM?

  Thanks for your suggestions!

  I made a few changes to a virtual machine configuration that basically he has stopped working (the operating system not the virtual machine itself). I used time machine to restore a virtual machine and it worked.

  Have not had a prob since.

• Impossible to use Time Machine on Airport Extreme

  Back in June, I brought a laptop HD work to save the laptop. It's something I have done 3 times a year, in addition to using Time Machine on my 1 TB Airport Extreme. Well, when I did that, I went from 'H Time Capsule' to 'Brian's Portable HD. Everything saved. No problem. It seemed.

  Unfortunately, I can no longer use Time Machine on the 1 TB drive. Every time as I try, I get "password to the server": Time Capsule". And the password I try does not work. Arrrggh.

  Is it possible to find the password lost at an Airport Extreme?

  Can or, if it's a no-go, I reset everything on it and start over?

  Thank you.

  Brian

  It would really help if you could provide the version of the operating system that you use on your laptop.

  The reason is that if you can access the AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility, you can retrieve the "lost password" for the album Time Capsule, which could be the password wireless, could be the base station password, or it might be the disk password... it depends of how you implement the AirPort Extreme.
