How to handle migrating files to a new drive and Time Machine

I have recently moved to an SSD in my Mac Pro.  As such, I am going from a 2TB main drive to 256GB.  This is no problem, as the majority of my 700GB of files are old work and don't need to live on the speed of the SSD.  My plan is to leave them on the 2TB, which will no longer be the boot drive.  However, what will become of my Time Machine backups?  If I leave the HDD directory structure the same, I presume it will keep the backups of my files.  However, this means everything that I moved over to my SSD won't have any backup history.  In addition, if I rename the HDD, or restruct it, then I will lose everything.

  • How do I restore a failed external hard drive using Time Machine?

    I have an external hard drive connected to my iMac that is being backed up with Time Machine.  I just realized that should it one day fail and no longer appear as a connected device, I'm not sure how to restore its data to another external drive.  When I disconnected the external hard drive (to mimic a drive crash) and entered Time Machine to see if I could verify that the external hard drive was, in fact, being backed up - I didn't know where to find it.  Under the Today (Now) information, I didn't expect to see it there as it was no longer connected to the machine.  But when I went back a few days, I expected to see its backup appear in the Sidebar.  But no!
    So - how do I restore a failed external hard drive using Time Machine?
    Searches for this information on Google yielded "iffy" results.  I'm hoping someone here is able to offer some clear steps to follow.  Perhaps I'm missing something silly.  Thank you very much!

    I came across this discussion after encountering the same problem. Since my internal HD was cose to full I added an additional external HD to my setup. I moved my iPhoto files to an external HD and backed both this external HD and my internal HD up with Time Machine to another external HD. So far the theory. When I wanted to test if this setup worked I noticed that I could only see my iPhoto libraries on the external HD in Time Machine when the external HD was connected to my computer, but not if I turned it off. This led me to search for a solution on the Apple Support Communities discussion board.
    The suggestions made Kappy seem right, at least in my experience, in that my Time Machine simply did not back up the external HD until I followed the steps he suggested above. These were the following:
    "So, if you want it backed up then here's what you need to do:
    1. In Time Machine preferences remove the external drive from the Exclude list.
    2. Verify that it is now included with your other drive in the backup list.
    3. Do a Backup Now to create a new backup of the external drive."
    After doing this, my external HD showed up in the Backups.backupd as a seperate folder. I could clearly see the Time Machine back-up for my internal HD and my external HD. In addition, in Time Machine itself I was able to find the external harddrive by clicking on my own computers name under "Devices". I hope my experience helps to resolve your issue as this discussion board has helped me resolve mine (which I believe to be very similar).
    Cheers!

  • How do you install CS5 onto a new computer without Time Machine/file transfer

    I'm not getting a new computer, but my current one is getting a little old (Macbook Pro V. 10.6.8) and I'm afraid it might crash if I download the newest Maverick system, which is why I want to make absolutely sure I'm able to save and transfer all my old files and CS5 Creative Suite programs if this indeed happens. I don't trust Time Machine to do it; my boss had this happen and Time Machine did not transfer the Adobe programs. I also don't want to rely on Time Machine and any other file transfer (which all new Macs offer) because I've had brand new computers crash because of old corrupt files from my old computer converting over, and the Apple people said it's a bad idea (which would have been nice to know BEFORE the computer crashed and everything. . .) I've been told you can only use the CD to install CS5 onto your computer twice, which I've already done (thanks to my brand new computer crashing once already). So I would like to know how it's possible to install the program onto a new computer should this one crash, without the use of file transfer or Time Machine. I have no interest in upgrading to CC.
    Thanks!

    Avoid using Time Machine for re-installing Adobe software. It rarely works and usually breaks the activation mechanism.
    I've been told you can only use the CD to install CS5 onto your computer twice,
    Not quite.
    You can install the software as many times as you like but you can only activate the software for use on a maximum of two computers at the same time.
    To re-install you will need your CS5 serial number.
    Download the installer from Download CS5 products
    Install then enter your serial number when prompted.

  • How to restore long deleted files to a new computer from Time Machine

    My MacBook has a 250 GB hard drive.  I routinely back up to my 1 TB external drive via Time Machine.  Sometimes, my MacBook gets full, and I delete movies, TV shows, etc.  I can then add new stuff to the MacBook, which I then back up to the external drive.  Eventually, I'll get a new Mac with at least 1 TB memory.  How would I install all my old files and media to this new computer, even items long since removed from my prior MacBook and not present at the last Time Machine backup?  I'm not sure I can remember all the files, but I certainly want them.

    Thanks seventy one.  I think I phrased my question poorly.  All of the files are on the Time Machine drive.  But not all of them were put there on the most recent backup, since they'd been deleted from the MacBook long ago.  How do I collect all the files on Time Machine, not just the ones present on the most recent backup, to place on a new computer with a larger hard drive.  For example, files A and B were backed up last year, but subsequently deleted from the MacBook.  But they are on the Time Machine drive.  I then get a new computer, but don't remember all the files like A and B, nor when they were present, nor where they were located.  Do I have to scour Time Machine, across all backup dates, to find all my old files?

  • How do you migrate a FileVault-protected account from a Time Machine backup?

    Recently the hard drive on my Macbook Pro died and had to be replaced. Prior to the hard drive's failure, I had backed up my sole user account to an external hard drive using Time Machine. When setting up the new hard drive for the first time, I used Migration Assistant to restore my user account to my new hard drive. However, when I go to log in to the user account I transferred over, I encounter the following error: "You are unable to log in to the FileVault user account "User" at this time. Log in failed because an error occurred." I am absolutely positive I entered the correct password.
    My next step was to boot from the install disc and repair the hard drive and permissions. The same problem occurred when I tried to login.
    Then I wiped the hard drive and installed Snow Leopard normally without attempting to migrate anything. After the installation, I attempted migration, only to see an error message under the "Users" heading, saying, "User accounts protected by FileVault can't be transferred." Looking at the backups I have on my external hard drive, I cannot see any of my individual files, which I could when logged in on my previous hard drive.
    I have scoured the internet for possible solutions but none seem to fit the situation. The techs at the Genius Bar tried a few things beyond my level of technical know-how and were unsuccessful, and they did not seem too optimistic about my chances. They mentioned that I should consider a visit to a data recovery center if I could not find any way to fix this issue.
    This is immensely important, considering my FileVault-protected account nestled away in the Time Machine backups on my external hard drive contains all of my work. While I am willing to make the trip to the data recovery center, I would like that to be a measure of last resort. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated!

    A google search for You are unable to log in to the FileVault user account yielded many hits, including this one: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4184 which might help resolve your issue. I don't use TM, so that's all I have to offer.

  • How can I transfer files from my laptop to my time machine?

    I am running out of disk space on my Macbook Air and would like to know if it is possible to transfer, not back up files to my 3TB Time Capsule.  If so, how?

    While it is possible to do this by simply dragging files to the Time Capsule using the Finder, keep in mind that the only copies of your important files that you transfer will be on the Time Capsule.
    When....not if....the Time Capsule drive has a problem, you lose these files, since you have no other copies of them.
    Much better to attach a hard drive to the Mac and move files there.
    Then, Time Machine will backup both your Mac and the attached hard drive. That way, you have "original" copies on one hard drive or location and your "backups" on another.
    In other words, Apple designed the Time Capsule and Time Machine for your backups....not "original" or "master" files.

  • If I backed up my files on external portable drive using time machine - I bought a new I-Mac - can I upload my music and photos .

    Can I install mympictures and music that were back up using time machine from my McBook into my new i-Mac - the back up is on a portable drive.

    Hello:
    There should be no problem - although I have never done what you describe.  Attach the drive to your new computer. open Time Machine, and retrive what you wish.

  • Upgrade Internal Hard Drive and Time Machine runs first back up as new full

    I recently upgraded my internal hard drive on my macbook to a larger and faster model, my old one is still fine. I went to run a Time Machine back up and it starts a new back up even though its not supposed to. How do I get it to recognize the old / original back up instead of running a new full back up on the new internal hard drive?

    In my case I backed up my old internal hd to my new external 1 TB hd.
    Surely you mean you used +Setup Assistant+ or +Migration Assistant+ to transfer the data? Or a "clone" via CarbonCopyCloner, SuperDuper, or Disk Utility?
    Now it appears TM wants to ADD the contents of my new internal hd to those already backed up(another 220 gb).
    Yes. As posted, to TM it's a new, different drive. TM will back it up. You cannot prevent it.
    I wonder if I need to format the new drive and start over??
    Yes, that's probably your best bet.

  • New MBP and Time Machine

    I have an iMac and I use Time Machine to backup to a 1TB WD Studio II.
    Tomorrow I take delivery of a new 13" MacBook Pro.
    If I set this new Mac to backup using Time Machine as well as my iMac will it integrate itself into my existing iMac TM backup, or will I need to erase the current iMac TM backup and start again?
    The iMac has a 750GB HDD with about 500gb free space remaining. The MBP will have the smaller option of the internal HDDs (250GB?) available for it. The WD Studio II is set to RAID 1 mirrored.

    It depends on the space available, and how you answer the "re-use" prompt, per #B5 of [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).
    Is this an additional Mac, or a replacement?
    If it's an additional Mac, select +Create New Backup,+ so you can continue to back up both Macs.
    If it's a replacement, select +Reuse Backup.+

  • How to generate complete file list of hard drive and output to text file

    I need to start backing things up to drives, which over time will be put in storage.
    I would like to be able to create a complete file index and folder tree of every drive and have it output to a text file so that in the event I ever need to go back to a drive, I can search the text file to know what drive to pull from storage (rather than using spotlight to search through 25 drives).
    Is there any way to do this with either OS X or with a third party software? Ideally, text file and not PDF.
    Thanks!

    You can use the terminal.app with the following command:
    rsync -rlptn --stats --progress +Source.. Destination..+
    example with actual output:
    rsync -rlptn --stats --progress /Volumes/Mac\ Data/websites /Volumes/EXT\ SATA2building file list ...

  • How to restore a new drive from Time Machine.

    I am upgrading the HDD in a 13-inch uni-body MacBook Pro on Leporad. I've completed the latest time machine back up to the external and replaced the drive. How do I get the system to boot from the external. Is the boot disc required or is there another way?

  • New HD and time machine restore was interrupted. Only half of data transferred.

    My HD has been replaced and when backing up from my time machine the transferred got interrupted. When Mac book booted only half the data. So I erased the hard drive to start again although I now can't restore from my time machine  as its saying not enough space on HD to restore. Please help coz I'm freaking out!

    Follow these instructions for reinstall 10.6, you will need to erase the ENTIRE drive by selecting the drive makers name and size on the left while booted from the 10.6 disk that came with your machine as this is the machine specific version with your free iLife included.
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    If you use the white 10.6 disk, (it's 10.6.3) then that doesn't have the free iLife, but if you later purchased it from AppStore it can be redownloaded when you get to 10.8 again.
    (ideally that older machine should stick with 10.6.8, but you have your files already in 10.8 on the TM drive, so...)
    Make sure you erase the entire drive with the Security Erase Zero All Data option, this will "pre-map" off any potentially failing sectors on the drive before they fail with your data on it, it makes your machine a lot more reliable.
    Reducing bad sectors effect on hard drives
    Once that's all done, log in and setup with your same user name as before (important) and Software Update to 10.6.8, log into AppStore and hold the option key down and click on Purchases, redownload 10.8 and install.
    Revisit and redownload other software like iLife etc.
    Use the TM drive to bring back copies of your files into their respective folders.
    Reboot the Mac holding the command and r keys down, use Terminal and enter resetpassword, a window appears, select your boot volume and user, then reset ACL's, should fix your user permissions issue.
    Note: What the AppleStore should have done is installed the 10.8 Recovery HD on your new drive, then you could have just reinstalled 10.8 from that.

  • When using a Seagate 1T external hard drive and Time Machine to back up hourly, if I delete photo files from the Mac hard drive before the next back up, are these retained on the Seagate drive or will they be lost (overwritten) in the next backu in the ne

    Does Time Machine erase previously saved files if, say, photos are deleted from the Macbook upon the next update, or will they be stored indefinately despite the current status of the files stored on the computer? Eg. can I bckup photo files to a Seagate 1T disc and then delete them to make more room on the computer in the knowlwdge that they are always going to be on the Seagate disc? Sorry if this is very elementary but I have not used a back up before like this, and am not sure how successive backups are overlaid or retained. Thanks!!

    TM is not designed to do what you ask. As Allan wrote TM is an incremental backup not an archival solution.
    If you delete a file from the HD it will eventually be removed from the TM backup (if it ever makes it on to the backup at all).
    How long before it is removed depends on a number of factors, TM disk drive size being one factor but not the only one.
    Material that is impossible to replace and is important to you (image files usually fitting that description) need to be backed up to as least one other drive and preferably more for long term storage.

  • New MBP and Time Machine won't let me search out my NAS to save too. Any ideas?

    When trying to set up time machine and using a NAS drive in my wireless network Time Machine won't let me search and select the storage device. I can access the storage and save/retrieve files so I can see and use it. Anyone got any ideas please?
    Brand New MBP running Mavericks.

    I'm having the same issue with Mavericks - and it appears to be Mavericks specific. I don't have this problem with Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion can see both of my NAS drives.
    Additionally, with Mavericks Time Machine won't see your backup properly. It may only see the most recent backup. Though in my case it wouldn't load either one (I had two on different drives). To recover some files I had to use a machine running Mountain Lion to mount a backup file then I was able to extract the files to a USB drive, which I then moved to the Mavericks machine.
    I've tried using terminal to run tmutil commands without luck. I have mounted the volume I want to use - it shows when I do "ls -l /Volumes". Then when I do sudo tmutil setdestination /Volumes/VOLUMENAME the system seems to go into an infinite loop. I have to ^c to get back to terminal.
    Clearly with Time Machine on Mavericke Apple has really screwed the pooch.

  • How can I back up my back up drive with time machine?

    Im a rather paranoid person having lost my data TWICE in 2 months and spending £1000 to get it back, so I have 2 external hard drives. One is a back up drive for my internal mac hard drive, and is also used as a second working drive. I want to back up this external drive so that my final (2nd) external hard drive has all the data from my first external hard drive. Therefore I will have 2 backups of my internal mac hard drive, and one backup of my 1st external hard drive.
    How can I get time machine to do this? I have the 1st drive set as the time machine back up drive, which it copies my MAC hard drive onto, but I can't seem to find a way of also getting it to then back up my 1st external drive to the second external drive?

    *3. TM.app does exist in /Applications but gives the error message shown here.*
