How do I encrypt my Time Machine Backup on the External Hard disk

I have taken a backup of my data onto an external Hard Disk. I have used the Time Machine application to take the back up.
I want to encrypt this time machine backup on the External Hard disk. Any suggestions???

Many thanks!
Have you selected the disk?
You can only encrypt disks that are directly-connected (ie, not on a network), with the GUID partition map scheme.
Put your mouse pointer on the dimmed checkbox, and after a moment an explanation should appear.

Iphone backup to an external hard disk

I'm currently using a Mac Air with very limited internal hard disk space (60.7GB). And after all applications installed, I'm left with hardly less than 10GB, not enough space to backup my iphone and ipad.
How can I point iTunes to store my iphone and ipad backups to my external hard disk, and to restore from it?

How to stop automatically backup on my external hard disk

Hi,
I have a macbook air. The first time I plug in my external hard drive (my external HD has many data from another Windows PC). Mac ask me whether I want to use this external HD for backup. Actually, I just wanna use it for data transfer but I accidentally say "yes". So, Mac delete all of my files from my external HD and start to create the backup file.
My questions are
1. How do I let Mac stop backup the file to my external HD
2. I loose all data from my external HD. There are about 200 GB. I heard that there are some data recovery softwares. Can you recommend me whether there is a free software which will works on this issue?
Please help me. Thank you very much.
Pat

Thank you so much BDAqua. I turn the Time machine off now.
About the format type, Macbook automatically did it. I guess format type is Mac OS Extended. I tried to connect this external HD to Windows PC but the PC cannot recognize it. So, I cannot recover from PC where I have recovery software. Do you have any idea how to let PC recognize this external HD?
I try to find the way but it seems I have to reconnect the HD back to Mac and try to recover on Mac. Is that only way? Do you have any suggestion? Thanks again.

Hi Markus,
>You can´t backup a 210 GB database on a 200 GB disk...
We learn a lot every day on these Expert Forums !
In fact, it could even be possible if it's the database enveloppe which is 210 GB and the actual data is less than 200 GB !
I dare to hope that it's not a production system which is backed up with an external disk...

Can't erase anything on an external hard disk partition of bootable backup ____error message -50 "Error in user parameter"

I am using MACOSX 10.6
The data on the disk partition on my Iomega 2Tb external hard disk drive (labeled "Bootable Backup") was written by Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC ver. 3.37)
I have had problems with overwriting this using CCC, and I have also had troubles changeing the data on my "Versioned Backup" partition, using either CrashPlan or CCC
A third partition that was virgin ("Half-Tb Volume") on the same external disk drive, however, DID accept the latest CCC bootable backup of my Macintosh HD...which is the reason I want to recover rthe space on the first bootable backup partition.
I have not found any links to this error using Google search, apart from the definition.
Anyone

Do a backup using Time Machine or a clone. Then boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R) on a restart. Run Disk Utility Repair disk. If it can't repair the disk, then select the erase tab and reformat using Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Also click the Option button and select GUID. When complete, reboot normally and restore your data.
Please update your profile to reflect the OS you are running.

How to make a bootable backup on external hard disk?

Hi guys, I want to ask how can make a backup of entire C(windows) drive on my external hard disk.I tried using backup option in my transcend hard drive
software but it gave me some errors..So I used backup option C:>properties and made a backup on my hard disk.But I am not sure if I can restore from it if my windows crashes coz I don't know if I can use this backup file from boot.So here's what I need
1)To make backup in hdd without having to wipe the it.
2)To make the backup bootable incase my windows crashes, I should be able to restore all my C drive..

Hi... I agree with your Number "2". I think that it is much better for you to install a backup tool e.g.aomei backupper (http://www.backup-utility.com/features/) and to forget about any possible troubles at all as the tool will backup everything you need and how you need, creating the whole image of the disk c which you can easily restore in case you have the crash.

If I used external hard disk for back up time machine, is it possible to use that external hard disk to save another else from diffrent computers?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can do this, but you should make a new volume on your external disk. Time Machine needs a volume that is only used to store backups, so you can't store other data in the same volume as the one you are using for making backups.
If you want to create another volume on your external disk, use Disk Utility to do this > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html Anyway, you should get another external disk to store other files, but if you don't want to, you can create another volume in it

Time Machine backup of external hard disk

Since it is possible to use my iTunes Library on an external hard disk I wonder if it is possible to include this iTunes Library (on an external drive) into my TimeMachine backup!

Disk write cache corruption on an external hard disk

Recently I purchased an external hard disk, to put all of my pictures of my baby due to space limitations on my internal laptop drive. Since my Canon camera 10 megapixel pictures take up a ton of space this was occurring at an alarming rate. My intention was also to back up to DVD but never got to it. This is both a comment and a question.
Now said baby, is getting really good at pulling cords etc. He managed to do this on the external drive firewire cable. As far as i know the drive was not in the process of actually writing. However, after a few minutes and trying to re-plug the drive the OS crashed with a Grey Screen of Death hardware error that tells you that you need to push the power button..
This apparently corrupted the drive's directory. Upon reboot the drive would not mount. Since there were time machine backups on the drive too Diskwarrior was not able to reconstruct the drive in the built in memory available on the computer. Time machine stores millions of files and Diskwarrior apparently wants to keep it all in memory at once. Since my computer has 2GB you would hope that would be enough but apparently not. So that failed. Other utilities seemed to be able to find the files but not restore the directory. I also took it to the apple store they were not able to recover it.
I have to say this is extremely distressing, and hard to believe that a simple accident like this could cost the loss of thousands of pictures. I did send it to a rescue company but that was expensive but I think apple needs to do something about this situation.
On Windows there is a way to disable the write cache for external drives. This is not available for Mac OS X. This would prevent this rather common occurrence of a plug accidentally becoming disengaged when the drive is not in the process of writing. This reduces the odds but I still think apple, in order to become clearly superior, needs a better solution.
I know Apple has experimented with ZFS would this not eliminate this possibility of this kind of disaster? Is this in Snow Leopard desktop? I know they are thinking this is a business customer focused technology but clearly if it can eliminate this kind of thing then I think it is extremely useful to their non server customers. Perhaps there are other ways of dealing with this issue but ZFS is designed to deal with these issues. HFS+ is extremely fragile to disk corruption.
I know my situation is not that uncommon and this is not the first time this has happened to me with an external drive. You would think I had learned. I hate to think of how many other people have had the same thing happen to them.

Disabling a write cache would not help you with the problem you are having. Besides the write cache is on the hard drive and operates independently of the operating system. But nothing can protect you from disconnected an external drive improperly, and if the drive is in the process of being written to, and the problem comes from directory corruption, not file corruption, as in the case you have described, disabling a write cache would not have made any difference.
For the future the magic word is: Backups.

Imposible continue the installation of Snow leopard 10.6 on a 1TB external hard disk, what can I do?

Imposible continue with the installation of Snow leopard 10.6 on a 1TB external hard disk. I did the same last year and I continued working but suddenly appeared the simbol with a folder and a question mark and I know this is a problem so I click in the format option to the hard disk and when I tried to install again Snow Leopard, 'cause I want to recover my backups with Time Machine, I couldn't continue because the installation didn't respond to the click in the Utilities option or to next step > continue . Please, What can I do? I'll wait for your answers. Thank you so much in advance.

Hello Melophage,
It is the original hard drive which should have been erased by the previous owner. The problem is, I cannot access it without any OS installed. Or maybe there is a bootable USB or DVD that can do it ?
Just an indication: when I boot without CD inserted in it, it shows a grey folder icon with a questionmark like this one:
Thank you for your help
PS: Yes, I am interested by the replacement pair of grey installation DVDs for my model. Where can I purchase this ?
