Can I have multiple files on a single time capsule?

On a time capsule, can partition different backups for different files, i.e. different computers.

As Neil says, you can easily back up multiple Macs to the same Time Capsule, as long as it's large enough (see #1 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum). Each Mac's backups will be in a separate sparse bundle.
If, as in your other post, any of those other computers are PCs, or even Macs using some other backup app, it gets complicated and messy, because of the way Time Machine backups will use all the space available, and the fact that, as Neil says, you cannot partition the internal HD.
Your best bet in that case would be to attach a USB hard drive to the Time Capsule; you can partition it if necessary. Back-up one or more Macs to the TC's internal HD or USB drive; and the PC(s) to one or more separate partitions on the USB drive.
See the Using TIME MACHINE with a TIME CAPSULE *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
As noted in #Q3 there, there is a rather cumbersome way to reserve space on the TC's internal HD for things like the PC backups by putting a +disk image+ on it, but connecting a USB drive will be much easier.

  • Can i have multiple iTunes  accounts on the time Capsule

    We are think about buying a time capsule for the family, we all have are own accounts. I want to make sure that they will work to back up to the time capsle with out anyproblems or anything being mixed up.

    How many Macs do you have?  Unless things are explicitly excluded, Time Capsule backs up an entire Mac, regardless of how many OS X user accounts are defined on it.
    I'm not sure why you mentioned iTunes accounts in the subject of your post.  Is there anything you're not mentioning?

    You can, but how are you going to back up those other files?  When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
    Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
    Not sure what you mean.  You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk. 

  • HT3486 Can I shared the files/folder of my time capsule with Mac/PC/iPad outside my lan?

    Can I shared the files/folder of my time capsule with Mac/PC/iPad outside my LAN?

    Mac yes.. use BTMM and iCloud or direct AFP connection to the TC.
    There is huge amount of info.. just look up remote access time capsule.
    PC no.. there is no AFP protocol application that I know of.
    iPad no,.. again it is not an AFP protocol device. The only open access method apple allowed is BTMM which doesn't work for ipad.
    If you want access for PC and ipad you need to replace the current modem router combo.. whatever it is with one that includes vpn server endpoints.. these can be fairly cheap.. plenty of products with 3rd party firmware will work. VPN is far superior method.

  • Can I have multiple images on a single USB drive?

    I would like to save an image from my T400 (XP), then upgrade the hard drive to an SSD, then upgrade the OS to Windows 7 (or 8), and take another image.
    I have several questions that I hope someone can help me with...
    Can I use Rescue and Recovery to save multiple images to a single USB drive?  
    If so, how does the sw keep the files separate?
    Will it still work if I use two different Rescue and Recovery versions (4.3 for XP, and 4.5 for W7)?
    Is there a way to store the images in separate folders on the USB drive, or is that unnecessary?
    Is there a better way to do this (including using different sw)?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ron

    If you open Disk Management, you'll see Disk 0 with more than one partition. If you want to rebuild a HD back the same you'll want all or at least two of the partitions. You'll notice the Active Boot partition is not C the Windows drive but a partition called System_Drv (at least in my system). Those two will be mandatory when you image a new drive. Otherwide you'll have some fixing with external tools to get it booting.

  • Can i have 2 macs with 2 different time capsules on a single network?

    I have 2 iMacs and 2 Time Capsules.  I want to share the internet connection via 1 time capsule, but I want each computer to back up to its own time capsule.  How do I configure this? 

    That is no problem.. one TC is bridged and plugged into the other TC.
    The TC that is the main one, and traffic is routed through.. make sure you have different names for both units..
    eg TC1 and TC2
    Make sure the disk partitions have different names as well.. not necessary but will make it easier.. TC1data and TC2data.
    Just choose the TC2data in TM preferences in the Mac that will back up to it.
    Just choose the TC1data in TM preferences in the other Mac.
    As far as all the network setup is concerned I need more info to give you specifics..
    How is the current TC setup? What is modem router? Is the TC bridge or router mode.
    If you give me specific IP addresses as well then I can give you direct info.

  • Why can't I copy files from Finder to Time Capsule?

    I'm trying to do basic copy functions from Finder to Time Capsule and I can't copy/paste or drag/drop any files from my MacBook to TC. The paste function is greyed out. TC is connected and does backups fine from Time Machine. Is there some setting I need to change?

    You are trying to add a folder into the network...
    You have to click on "shared" in HD then the name of time capsule and a window will open with a folder called "Time Capsule." That window is the network, not the time capsule. You have to click on the "Time Capsule" folder to enter it. You will see a file ending in "arsebundle," that is your backup. You can now add another folder.

  • Can iTunes Match download files from a crashed time capsule retroactively

    Ok, so I'm a devoted itunes / apple user.  I had my time capsule for 2+ years with no issue, but it recently died and I had to get a new one.  Unfortunately, I had my iTunes library pull from the time capsule instead of my laptop hard drive and now a lot of my music is lost.  I can get anything that I had originally purchased via iTunes with iCloud download, but anything burned / ripped to the library is lost.
    The track names, album names, etc. are still listed in itunes when I open it, but it cannot access the folder to pull the audio.  My question, is there a way to access these files since they are in my library without having to hunt all of these down and ripping them again?  If I were to purchase iTunes Match, would it download these files so that I could have them without doing the hunting and ripping?

    Hi,
    No.
    If you have no back up you will need to re-rip them. You cannot use match to retrieve music that is not on your computer or external hard drive.
    Match can only scan the music that is in your library.

  • Can I export multiple files at the same time in Premiere CS5.5?

    I have 10 hours of total video.  I need to cut them up into small  <5 minutes clips to play on a clients website.  Rather than exporting one clip at a time, i'd like to do them all at once and save them as individual files.. it that possible?  I thought now, as each small file would need it's own file name.
    John Q.

    You can do a batch export by sending them to Adobe Media Encoder with the Queue button in the export settings dialog.
    However, you will have to set up each export one at a time.

  • Can we have multiple database audit specification on a single server audit ?

    Hi,
    We are having a 2 node Sql Clustered instance of SqlServer 2008 R2 Enterprise running
    on windows server 2008 R2. We have about 88 databases in the instance.
    Our servers run on Intel Xeon(R) CPU X5670 @2.94 GHz with 6 cores(12 logical processor).
    The servers are having 12GB of RAM.
    We are planning to introduce database level audit to find if there is any activity on
    some of our databases. These databases are not growing in size and there is a request
    from the application team to ascertain whether the endusers are accessing the database
    over a period of time. In this context I have 2 queries-:
    1)Can we have multiple database audit specification on a single server audit ie can we
    audit multiple databases to find out the user activity on those databases at a time? Or
    should we a separate server audit for each database audit specification?
    2)We plan to have the target of the audit on a file on the same shared volume(lun) where
    the MDF file and LDF files are located(in EMC storage) and in this context what performance
    monitor counters should we watch to ascertain whether there is any performance degradation
    due to introduction of server audit.
    Thanking you in advance
    Binny Mathew.

    As Auditn  is at the SQL Server instance level. You can have multiple audits per SQL Server instance.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280386.aspx
    Database Audit Specification
    The Database Audit Specification object also belongs to a SQL Server audit. You can create one database audit specification per SQL Server database per audit.
    The database audit specification collects database-level audit actions raised by the Extended Events feature. You can add either audit action groups or audit events to a database audit specification. Audit events are
    the atomic actions that can be audited by the SQL Server engine. Audit action groups are predefined groups of actions. Both are at the SQL Server database scope. These actions are sent to the audit, which records
    them in the target. Do not include server-scoped objects, such as the system views, in a user database audit specification.
    Database-level audit action groups and audit actions are described in the topic SQL Server Audit Action Groups and Actions.
    You can also consider using a Profiler trace file to capture the events.

    Can we have multiple SLEDs maintained within a single batch. This SLED would be maintained at Quant level. One batch will have multiple quants and would be maintained in separate bins. However in LX27 i should see both the SLED for the same batch.
    Please Help
    Thanks & Regards

    My sources tell me that batch management is not a part of Retail but of logistics and unfortunately I am not able to move your post to a better thread. However, I suggest you please do a search of all forums using "batch management" as your search criteria.You'll see loads of hits. You might find your answer there or a better place to post your question.
