You can use a zip for time machine drive?

I know he said 'external hard drive', but do not know if this means that you can use a zip for time machine drive? (including so you can back up your entire OS, but also files)

Probably yes, but just wonder how to connect ZIP drive to your iMac.

  • corrupted backup iPhone: you can restore old backup from Time Machine?

    Hello

    I recently had my iPhone 6 (last iOS 9.2) stolen and when I bought my new 6 iPhone updated to iOS 9.3.1 and it synchronized, he said that the March 21 backup was corrupt or incompatible.

    Leaving aside Why is it (except if in your knowledge, it has an effect), I was wondering is it possible to go into the Time Machine and find the last iPhone backup (hopefully not corrupt or incompatible) and then use it when you synchronize and put up my new phone?

    So in this case I would lose a week / a month value of the data over the year or so for my backup previously listed on my iTunes currently.

    More important still, I need to get my SMS and notes.

    For now, my contacts seem to have all come finer.

    A big thank you for any help you can provide.

    See you soon

    You should be able to do. Follow the instructions here to find and restore the backup on your hard drive.

  • You can use NI 9237 for the LVDT readings

    Dear comrades,

    I wonder if I can use NI 9237 and NI 9945 to get the reading of an LVDT. The interest is to measure the movement using Solartron DC Miniature LVDT.

    In our laboratory, we have NI 9237 and NI 9945 and I would get your advisor if it would be good enough to measure the movement of an LVDT.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Gtharm,

    For the Solartron DC Minitature LVDT transducer already includes oscillator, demodulator and filter which alow the sensor to accept the input voltage and provide a DC output from the position. Therefore, instead of using the bridge according to the measure such as the NI 9237 or NI9945 modules, you must only input I take the input voltage.

    The LVDT voltage range would determine which modules HAVE you need to take the measure. Of the specification, you need to at most 100 Hz to get the signal from the probe safely.

    I hope that this help mate.

  • Configuration of free filesystem disks for ASM? You can use free space for ASM

    Is there a way to devote space for ASM to create a database under the DSO?

    I was hoping I wouldn't have to reinstall the operating system Linux Enterprise 5 (Red Hat). So I uninstalled my environment RAC 2 nodes, installed required ASM RPM for Red Hat linux Enterprise 5 and then reinstall 11 g Clusterware and set "configure Automatic Storage Management (ASM).

    I missed something? Thank you

  • How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

    How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

    I have several laptops and iMacs. I spent the relocation of the year and only used the MacBook Pro.

    Now I'm trying to figure out which drive goes with which computer

    I connected just a disk seagate 1.5 t and the first thing he did was to ask if I wanted to use it as a Time Machine drive.

    (1) if it is the TM disk accompanying this computer don't would not it have just started upward automatically?

    (2) what happens if I would have said yes?

    (3) I don't even know if it's been activated for TM. Is there a way to tell? It may hold just for iMovie files and other programs associated with a computer from my past.

    All readers of backup Time Machine contains a folder named: Backups.backupdb. If you open this folder, you'll find another folder with the name of the computer that has been saved. If several computers have been saved on the same disk, you will have several folders.

  • How can I change the network address of my Time Machine drive?

    Hi people,

    This is my second question in 12 hours. Thanks to help I received here, I abandoned my doomed attempt to use my old AirPort Extreme and a USB key for Time Machine backups.

    I've used my ReadyNAS for Time Machine backups, but it has never been reliable. I think I have tracked the question and I would like to try again. However, Time Machine remembers the old network address for the ReadyNAS unit (smb://NAS_TimeMachine.local/ReadyNAS) and does not 'see' the same unit at current address (afp://[email protected]/NASTimeMachine). You could collect that networking is not something I understand.

    I think that this can be also responsible for the boring 'There was a problem... "messages that I receive at startup telling me the drive could not be mounted.

    Is there a way to force the time Machine to forget the old address and 'see' a new?

    See you soon,.

    Grant

    (PS I have also posted this question on the legacy of networking community, but I think it's a better place for this)

  • Adding 2nd drive for Time Machine

    I have an IMac with a 3 TB drive and a 4 TB laCie drive Thunderbolt used for Time Machine. I get the message that the Time Machine disk is full. I can daisy chain a second LaCie and recognized it as an add-on to Disk Time Machine?

    Not unless your create a JBOD RAID array. You can * another player and change Time Machine backup on this drive. If the player has not been used for a backup Time Machine, then Time Machine will start a new backup.

    Note that you have to create the JBOD or RAID Stripe it would remove all files on both drives before you create the table. Thus, when selected for the drive Time Machine you will be a new backup.

    About alert TM "Backup Drive is full"

    TM only deletes older files if they have been removed from the source and when TM needs space on the backup to a new incremental backup drive. Time Machine "Jules Destrooper" its backups. over 24 hours, old backups, except the first of the day; These "dailies", old more 30-day backups, except the first day of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there is room.

    So, how long a backup rest file depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming that you do at least one backup per day. If she was there for less than 24 hours, it will be maintained for at least a month. If she was there at least a week, it will be maintained as long as there is room.

    Note that, on a Time Capsule, the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but not descended. View of the user of the TC so it seems that no space was released, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.

    Once TM has found that it cannot free enough space for new backup it reports the disk is full. You can erase the backup disk and start your backup or replace the disc with a larger drive.

  • Search for Time Machine does not work in the mail.

    Hello

    I'm trying to retrieve/view old e-mail my Time Machine ups back. I am backup on an external hard drive.

    When I get TM since the Mail, search application 'in time' does not work. If I go TM said Finder, or from the desktop, it works fine.

    I had to reinstall my OS and am trying to update on El Capitan, (thanks to the kind assistance of AppleCare!), but in the meantime I am eager to find those old emails.

    Any suggestions please? Thank you.

    Although you can restore a snapshot of Time Machine messages in the Mail application, it usually will not work with messages that were saved by an outdated version of the mail. In this case, you must use another method.

    Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

    ~/Library/Mail

    Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

    Services ▹ Open

    the contextual menu.* should open a folder.

    Enter Time Machine and scroll to the snapshot that you want to restore from. The folder named "Mail" are subfolders named "V2" and/or "V3" (according to the version of Mac OS X that was used at the time that the snapshot was taken.) Inside of one of these subfolders are several subfolders representing your e-mail accounts. The name refers to the email addresses that you use. Select the account folders you want and then select restore... to... in the action menu (gear icon) in the toolbar of the Snapshot window. Restore the files on the desktop and not in their original location.

    Import the mailbox in the folders that you restored to the office. The imported messages appear in a new mailbox. Move those you want to keep everywhere where you want and delete the rest. Then, delete the files on the desktop.

    * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

  • How much space for Time Machine backups

    Hello

    Is there a rule for how much space you may want to allow for Time Machine backups?

    I would like to partition the drive to have a room reserved for Time Machine back ups only.  I realize that it is a personal preference.

    Each individual backup occupies approximately 790 GB.  But somehow I have 6 months of backups that supposedly take up only 880 GB on the disk.

    At this time the backups of my other drive back to 6 months in time.

    Fortunately, I never had to go back a few more days to recover a file.

    Is there a reasonable amount of space to allocate for backups, based on current usage of disk?

    Thank you

    Minimum would, of course, the size of the internal drive.

    Double the quantity is sufficient

    Triple the amount if you want a value years from TM backups

    I am convinced that these are independent external drives from your main hard drive of Machines

    Should what format I use for my external drive for time machine?  I have a WD 2 TB that is formatted for PC new drive.  When I got to disk utilities to erase, and then reformat the options are

    1 mac OS extended (journaled)

    2 mac OS extended (journaled, encrypted)

    3 mac OS Extended (respect for case-sensitive, journaled)

    4 mac OS extended (case-sensitive, journaled, encrypted)

    See the information below If you can not back up or restore your Mac with the help of Time Machine - Apple Support

    When you select a drive to use with Time Machine, your Mac automatically prompts you if you need to reformat the drive.

    • If you are using an external drive connected to your Mac, use disk utility to make sure that your backup disk is formatted in HFS + extended (journaled) and is the partition type GUID Partition Table (GPT).
    • If you use a time Capsule, formatting the drive for Time Machine preferences automatically formats the drive as HFS + Extended (respect for case-sensitive, journaled) with a GUID Partition Table (GPT).

    Hello

    You can use several times on THE same machine. You can install on many machines, but you can turn on a SINGLE machine. In your case, the system thinks you want to update and it will not work. You must purchase the upgrade dics (DVD).
