Time machine need more space than necessary.

Hi.
Can anyone help. I have a two 1TB external hard drives one backs the other up. Until now it has been fine but suddenly time machine has decided theres not enough room even though there the same size drives. Ive deleted the backup drive and the time machine preferences but it still wont work. I have one drive with 930GB on and time machine says it needs 1.1TB of space. Why dose it need an extra 170GB. Help?
Thanks

Since Time Machine keeps copies of previous versions of things you've changed or deleted, it needs much more space than the data it's backing-up.
The extra 170 GB is for "padding" -- workspace on the backup volume, and in case the original estimate isn't accurate, or more files are changed or added while the backup is running.
#1 in the link Carolyn supplied explains this a bit more, and recomends that your backup drive be 2-3 times the size of the data it's backing-up.

  • Time Machine requiring more space than necessary?

    Hi all,
    Since I only have a 60gb external drive (whereas my laptop has 250gb) I burned some files to DVDs and then excluded them from the Time Machine backup so the backup would fit in 60gb (~56gb, really).
    Anyways, when I managed to reduce the size of my backup to around 51gb, I got a message saying that the backup would require 64.7gb. I thought it was okay, maybe TM needs a bit more space for whatever reason. But even after shrinking by backup to only 41gb, it still says 64.7gb are needed!
    I'm desperate because I haven't been able to find a solution and thus I've been unable to backup my files.
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for your replies, but I am perfectly aware of how TM works and that I need a bigger hard disk to back up.
    A friend also has a computer with a 250 HDD and he backs up perfectly around 50gb of files in a 60gb hard disk.
    I've formatted my disk and I'm doing this as my first backup, so I know there are no 'extra files' to be backed up besides those I've chosen not to exclude.
    But my question is why does TM require exactly the same disk space (64.6GB) with different backup sizes (from 35GB to 53GB), it's ALWAYS the same space!
    I really appreciate your replies, though. =)

  • Time Machine sees more data than actually exists

    Another way to put it is that Time Machine requires more space than is needed. I found similar posts, but none that were solved.
    My MacPro has a 160GB startup drive, and three 1TB (931.2GB formatted) storage drives in it.
    I have a 1TB external FW800 drive (931.2GB formatted). I formatted it using Disk Utility and set it as the Time Machine destination. Using the Time Machine preference pane in System Preferences, I have exluded everything but the startup disk and the 1TB drive with my actual work data on it (we'll call it data_1) .
    There's 79GB in use on the startup disk and 702GB in use on data_1. In the "Options" window of the Time Machine preference pane, it says "Total Included 781.9GB"
    When I start the first backup, after a short period of 'Preparing' Time Machine delivers an error message that says the backup is too large for the destination and that 931GB are available but 998.41GB are required.
    From system.log:
    Jan 7 00:42:23 /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd(598): Backup content size: 79.2 GB excluded items size: 8.8 MB for volume davinci

    Where is the extra 217GB coming from?
    I've reset everything; reformatted the drive, turned TM off, cleared the exclusion list, turned TM back on, reset the TM destination, repopulated the exclusion list. Same error.
    Time Machine has worked properly on this computer before. I had a smaller external drive, and only backed up the startup disk.

    1) I can't find any documentation published by Apple that defines recommended drive size. Perhaps I'm not looking hard enough.
    My G5 is in the shop, so I can't get to Leopard Help. And I don't find it on their Support pages. This has been reported by people who talked directly with Apple (Apple Care and others).
    2) I've run Time Machine on dozens of Macs (I manage a small network) and none of them had a TM drive 3 times the size of the source disk. They all worked, no problems.
    Yes, of course, in many, perhaps most, cases 2 times or even less will work. But it depends almost entirely on what size files are updated/added and how often.
    3) Based on the error I'm currently getting, TM requires an overhead of 22% just to perform its tasks. Can that be true? And if it is, why isn't this reflected in System Preferences? (i.e.: Total Included: 781GB, an additional 217GB will be required for working space)
    Yes, there is a great deal of mystery about it's calculations. You may note from it's system log messages that it requests a certain amount of space "including padding". Just what that consists of, and how it's calculated, is unclear.
    My completely uneducated guess is, at least some of it is for the many hundreds of thousands of alias-type files it uses. Remember, when you look in the TM interface, it appears to have one copy of every file for every backup. The vast majority of those, of course, haven't changed, and are represented, somehow, by those special alias files some also call soft links. Whatever they are, they have to take up some small amount of space, but multiply teeny by a minimum of half a million of them per backup . . .
    4) I understand that a main feature of TM is that it saves a history of files. But at it's root it is a backup system. Even if you only had enough space for one most recent copy, and one expired copy, you'd still have a backup, which does not defeat the purpose.
    Yes of course, but you don't have anywhere near that much space.
    I don't mean to be argumentative. But I was hoping to hear something other than "Get a bigger drive." If the 2-3x 'rule of thumb' is correct, wouldn't the minimum size for any of the newer macs be 750GB? Making one of Apple's own products (the 500GB Time Capsule) be incompatible? Especially when the TC is meant for multiple systems. Seems like my only option is to get a raid of some sort.
    Or use CarbonCopyCloner, SuperDuper, or the like. Or exclude a lot.
    I suppose I'm just frustrated and befuddled at the lack of documentation on this, assuming what you say is true? I guess I'd calm down if I could see some actual documentation. Does anyone have a resource or a reference where this overhead?
    Agreed. Why don't you contact Apple directly? And post the results here.

  • Layout taking more space than necessary...

    Hi folks...my applet has two panels inside it arranged in a flowlayout. The first panel is a 5 row x 1 col gridlayout, and the second is working fine. The problem with the first one is that that it is taking more space than necessary and going out the bottom of the applet. Now if I do this in appletviewer, resizing the window by a few pixels will make it relayout the panel and everything looks fine, but of course you can't ask people to do that =) What's the problem here? I've tried validating both the applet and the problem panel, and tried invalidating it first. Any ideas? thanks!

  • Deleted TM backup to start over, now TM says it needs more space than avail

    I deleted the backup image on my 500 GB Time Capsule to start over. Now Time Machine says it needs 700 GB of space and only 350 GB available. I only have 100 GB on my MacBook with OS 10.5.8. How do I let TM know that I want to start over and only backup the 100GB with today as a baseline? Thanks

    TM says it needs more space (530 gig) for the backup that is actually on my IMAC (used 420 of 1 trb). Any ideas why TM will not back-up and why it requires 530 gig when my IMAC has only used 420 gig?
    Because TM needs workspace on the TM drive, and yours is much too small. TM adds 20% to the estimated size of the backup when requesting space.
    But to work well, TM usually needs 2-3 times the space of the data it's backing-up. See #1 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
    Short term, you may be able to "finagle" getting backed-up by excluding a lot of things temporarily, running a backup, then removing some exclusions and running another. That way, the 20% won't get applied to the total amount of data all at once.
    That will work, for a short period of time, but not for long. You need a much bigger drive.

    As you can see from the log entries above, Time Machine requested 1.94 GB, but it backed up only 548.8 MB.
    And then it requested 1.29 GB and it backed up only 196 bytes.
    I recall reading in this forum that this may be caused by the size information in some folder being wrong. I have partitioned my internal hard drive in three partitions:
    1. Leopard
    2. Snow Leopard
    3. Data
    So, I excluded the Leopard partition and did another backup and it was still more than 1 GB.
    I added Leopard and took a backup.
    Then I excluded Snow Leopard and did another backup and the space requested was still more than 1 GB.
    So I added Snow Leopard and took a backup.
    Then I excluded Data and did another backup. It requested more than 1 GB.
    So, I was unable to identify which volume had the bad folder info.
    I wiped out the Time Machine backup by reformatting the volume,
    I then re-created the directory of all three volumes using Disk Warrior.
    And then I ran a fresh backup.
    And then I ran another backup. It still requests more than 1 GB than needed.
    Any else I should try?
    Thank you very much.

    That's more of an over-estimate than usual. TM adds 20% to the estimated size of the backup, and it's usually fairly close.
    no it's not. I frequently see large disparity between estimated and actual backup for smaller backups. in the example I posted the ratio is 5:1! this is completely normal. there is nothing to troubleshoot or see here.
    There are some things that will cause the estimate to be off significantly, but most of them result in larger backups, not smaller ones.
    It's pure speculation, but I suspect if the same file is updated repeatedly between backups, it's size may be counted more than once for the estimate.
    But as you mentioned, something corrupted might be a cause, also. Since there's no way to tell how much was estimated from each partition, I'd run +*Verify Disk+* on the partition you're running from, and +*Repair Disk+* on the others, then do a Restart.

  • Time Machine needs "work space" after reinstall of Snow Leopard

    Hey all,
    I had to completely nuke my hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard after my hard drive got corrupted and my MacBook wouldn't boot up. I restored my system from my Time Machine backup, and after installing all updates, everything on the system seems all hunkey-dorey.
    Except for Time Machine. Whenever TM tries to do a backup, it tells me that it needs 250GB of storage for a backup - as if it's completely ignoring all my old backups. I'd prefer not to wipe my external drive, so if there's a way to get TM to work again without a wipe, I'd love to hear it, but I suppose if I have to, I have to.
    One more thing, according to the Time Machine Buddy widget, TM detects that it has a migration, but the UUID doesn't match. Here's the full log.

    You reinstalled OS X which causes TM to backup the drive from scratch. This is normal.
    See User Tips for Time Machine for help with TM problems. Also you can select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "time machine" to locate articles on how to use TM. See also Mac 101- Time Machine.

  • Time Machine Needs More User Options

    Such as ... how often to backup. This thing just runs way too much. The only option we have is what to exclude? Pretty lame.

    I was thinking the same thing. Keep the simple setup, but add an Advanced... button in case you want to make changes. I would like to see the option to modify the frequency of backups or schedule them. I don't think I would have much use for an hourly backup. Every hour, I hear my external drive (WD MyBook) spin up and do the backup. That may get annoying. The backup is quick, but the drive fan runs for about 10 minutes before going into standby mode again. Once a day would work and then that could get consolidated into the weekly backup. If they added that option, it might be nice to add an option to wake the computer from sleep to do the backup. That would allow one to set the once daily backup for sometime when the computer is not in use. (i.e. 2 am or so). Previous to Leopard/Time Machine, I used ChronoSync and scheduled it to do a weekly backup early Saturday morning (ChronoSync can wake computer from sleep to perform the backup).

  • Does Partitioning Tables need more Space

    It is not having/not having any rows in a partition but rather init.ora parameter deferred_segment_creation setting. By default it is set to true, which means segment will be created on first insert.

  • Doesn't Time Machine delete old backups when it needs more space?

    I've had time machine running for a long time now. It worked flawlessly for quite some time.
    Today it gave me the error that there was not enough free space on the disk to complete the backup (the error message says something like there is 360 GB of data on the Time Machine drive already, 140 GB of free space and it would require more than that to complete my backup). I have a 500 GB Time Machine disk and my Mac has a 500 GB hard drive, so I should technically never run out of space.
    The Time Machine almost acts like this is the first time I've ever backed up, which is not true. Shouldn't Time Machine delete old backups to make space for the new? What's even weirder is that if I open the "Star Wars" window of Time Machine I only see one backup from March 31, 2011, but I have been running Time Machine for well over a year now. I'm totally confused as to what happened. Any advice on how to get my Time Machine back up and running (without buying a new drive) would help!

    You see only one backup in the Time Machine window because Time Machine has deleted the older backups to make space to do the current backup.
    Time machine needs some working space to do its backups, and so backing up a 500GB drive onto a 500GB time machine volume is not ideal.
    However, I do essentially the same thing, and what I do, when I have this problem, is exclude things from the backup.
    First off, figure out what you changed. If you moved things from one partition to another, then that will cause a backup of the size of the thing that was moved. This may be why you have a large backup.
    When I have this problem, I exclude large things that have changed recently from the backup. This makes the backup smaller, and means that there is less working space needed. I do this until I get a successful backup. Then I remove things, one by one, from the exclusion list, and back up after each one.
    So, for instance if you just put 4 new folders on your drive, each of which s 20GB of data and they are named A, B, C and D, add all four to the exclusion list, do a backup, then remove A from the exclusion list (leaving B, C & D on it) and do a backup, and continue like this, adding 20GB of backup data each time until none of the new data is on the exclusion list and you get a completed backup.
    Another possible issue, if you use multiple partitions, is that Time Machine may be keeping an obsolete backup of a partition that you previously reformatted. To see if this is the case, go into time machine (The universe interface) and go back to the most recent backup it shows. Click on your computer and see what partitions show up-- are any of them old ones that have been reformatted and renamed? You may be storing a duplicate backup because Time Machine does not realize that the disk that went away isn't coming back (because it has been reformatted as a different partition)
    You can right-click on these items and remove them from your backup by sleecting "Delete all backups of...." This will free up space as well.

  • Since installing mavericks my WD time machine doesn't work, it keeps insisting it needs more space? This wasn't an issue an hour earlier?

    Since installing mavericks my WD time machine doesn't work, it keeps insisting it needs more space? This wasn't an issue an hour earlier?
    Id also like to know if Powerpc software will be supported? I have C&C Generals on disc but it doesnt run now mavericks is installed?!
    Annoying!

    Regarding time machine, it probably took a full backup after you put mavericks on. To investigate, open Console, select "All Messages" and type "backup" (without the quotes). It will then only show you backup-related messages. If you're not sure how to read those, copy them and paste them into a reply here; we can investigate the situation.
    I don't know anything about your PPC software issue, sorry.

  • Time Machine backup requires significantly more space than size of hard drive + external

    I can't seem to figure out what is going on here. I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro with a 1T SSD hard drive, upgrading from an older MB Pro with a 500 GB hard drive. In the past I've used Time Machine to back up my hard drive and an external hard drive with RAW format photos and video footage that totals 441.56 GB. My internal internal hard drive currently is 487 GB, and I've used a 1TB time machine back up without problem to date.
    I used Time Machine to install on the new system and it worked flawlessly, except that the Time Machine backups wouldn't continue. Time Machine--even when left overnight--would get hung up on Preparing Files to Back Up. So, I reformatted the Time Machine disk (lost the old backups) and attempted to back up from scratch. I then got a message that I need 3.37 TB to complete my new Time Machine back up, though the total size of the back up on disk is ~930 GB. I've read that Time Machine needs 20% - 30% overhead on disk to work well, but I can't figure out why it would require 3x the back up size. I'm hesitant to purchase a new 4 TB external hard drive as I suspect this is a software issue. I've tried reformatting the disk twice more (three total), rebooting my computer, etc. but I keep getting the 3.37 TB message. I'm operating Mavericks OS 10.9.4.
    I would be grateful for insight on this.
    Best,
    Alex

    Hi Linc, thanks for taking a look at this problem. I just reinitiated a backup to make sure it's most up-to-date. Without the external hard drive, I was able to complete a simple backup. After plugging the external in again, here's the log I got:

  • I need more space on iPhone 5 to get latest IOS 7 update. If I delete all music that gives me more than enough. Then is it correct music is still on my MAC where I previously synced everything and if I want I'll be able to move some or all songs from MAC

    I need more space on my iPhone to update the iOS 7 To do this easily it appears I can delete all my music. That would give more than  enough space. After update, will I be able to use sync to put some music back on iPhone? I don't need all my music on iPhone, so earlier did this except for the part restoring some music from MAC to iPhone
    Will it work by syncing,

    Yes.  You may not be able to restore all of it, depending on how much storage memory is left after the update.  You can make more space on your phone by importing photos and videos to your compluter.

  • Why are my apps taking up more space than what the appstore says they will? Like were talking a full GB more than what it should.

    Why are my apps taking up more space than what the appstore says they will? Like were talking a half a GB more than what it should.
    For example the app Modern Combat 4 says it should only be 1.58 GB on the appstore but when i go into settings>general>usage it says it takes up 2.0 GB.
    Ive tried deleting the apps and then reinstalling them but they still take up so much more space.
    This happens for multiple apps of mine. Some I have never even opened before.
    I have an ipod touch (4th Gen)(32GB).
    I link to a mac computer.
    I have IOS version 6.1.3
    I noticed this a long time ago but didnt need the space, Now i need the space!!
    Please help!!

    Because you see the file size of the compuressed file. The file gets expanded when installed and that takes up more space. Also, data is kept in the app.
