Can Time Machine perform encrypted backups for more than one computer to the same external drive?

I have two MBPs.  The older MBP, with 1TB of storage, now contains two other MBP clones, for a total of 3 user machines on 1 MBP).  I'd like to back up both my newest MBP, and the older MBP with the 2 clones, to my new 5TB drive (via wi-fi).  I want to encrypt these backups, but am unclear whether it is possible.  Does TM first encrypt the drive itself, or is each back up separately encrypted?  I understand that if I wanted to encrypt an existing Time Matters backup on a drive, the prior data would be erased and reformatted, but here I am working with a new backup drive, on which one encrypted backup has been performed.
I just don't want to overwrite this existing backup (which was for my newest MBP).
Thanks for whatever help anyone can provide.

You should have prepared the drive better..
The drive should have been partitioned. It is possible to load the backups.. but you can get into trouble.
See http://pondini.org/TM/4.html
Since partitioning at this point would destroy the existing backup.. the best way is to setup a disk image for each of the other Macbook backups and then mount the disk image and use that for the TM backup..
Encrypting the drive or the backup.. that is something I avoid.. backups to me are useless if I forget or lose the key.. apple have warned lose the key.. the backup is useless..
But check pondini FAQ .. you might be able to encrypt a drive image.. or the backup.

See Q25 and 31.

  • Add Suppporting Details for more than one periods at the same time for the same Account in Planning.

    As we know, in planning form, we can add supporting details to one cell for the level 0 members intersections.
    But can we do that as below:
    add supporting details for more than one cells at the same time?
    I tried to do that in workspace and smartview, neither is working.(my workspace version 11.1.2.2.300.20)
    I wonder if i am not with the right version, because i don't know how to get the below.
    Can any one explain?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    I have tried in Smartview for a simple form where my period dimension was in columns and accounts in rows.
    You need to select multiple period and select supporting details, it will show those selected period for which you can add the supporting details.
    You can add these details and then submit the data in the form.

    Yes, you can install and activate Creative Cloud desktop applications on two computers, regardless of operating system, for the individual associated with the Creative Cloud membership. See the product license agreements page for more information.

  • Can I use Creative Cloud for students on more than one computer at the same time?

    I get different info when I read about how I could use creative cloud.
    Somewhere it say I can install and activate on two computers but only run the applications on one computer at the time.
    On antother place I read that I can use the applications on two computers at the same time.
    So what is correct?
    Can I install and activa Creative Cloud for students on my PC and my Mac and also run the applications on both computers at the same time?

    I already gave you the info you seek, but you don't seem to want to accept it.  Here it is in writing from Adobe's EULA (find it at: General-terms)
    "4.1 Subscription-Based Software License.
    If we provide the Software to you as part of your subscription to use the Services, then subject to your compliance with these terms, we grant you a non-exclusive license to install and use the Software: (a) in the Territory, (b) so long as your subscription is valid, and (c) consistent with these terms and related documentation accompanying the Software. “Territory” means worldwide, but excludes any U.S. embargoed countries and countries where you are prohibited from using the Software or the Services. You may activate the Software on up to 2 devices (or virtual machines) at a time, if these activations are associated with the same Adobe ID for the same individual, unless stated at http://www.adobe.com/go/activation. However, you may not use the Software on these devices simultaneously."
    You appear to want to believe that because you think you have a way of getting around the agreement without being caught it would be okay to do.  You are bound to the agreement if you purchase the subscription.  Do you understand what intentionally (and with fore-knowledge) failing to honor a contract constitutes?

  • Problem accessing hard drive for more than one user at the same time

    Hello all,
    I recently bought a 2nd generation AirPort Extreeme 802.11n to replace a cheapo wireless router. The main reason I wanted to get the AirPort was so I could attach a USB hard drive which holds iTunes music files Originaly I had a G4 MDD and this was a second internal hard drive. Since my wife and son also share my Mac, we stored the iTunes music folder there, so we could all access the files. That worked fine.
    Then I got a early 2009 iMac and gave my wife the G4. My son also has a G3 iBook, using the wireless internet conection. At first I had the drive in an external case attached via Firewire. Both my iMac and my wife's G4 are attached to the network using ethernet, not wireless. She was able to access the music files so long as my Mac was on, but the connection was flaky.
    So as mentioned, I picked up a used AirPort Extreme from OWC, mainly to attach the hard drive, since it's no longer in my Mac. It took some fiddling, and I was honestly surpsied that the APE was trickier to set up than expected, but now I have the external drive mounting, and we can all access the files from any of the Macs in the house. It works great except for one thing. If I'm logged into my iMac, and then another family member logs in on the same iMac, we don't all have access to the hard drive. It's still mounted, but the you have no permission to view the files on it.
    Then if I remount it, I can access the files, but now the other user can't.
    So in a nutshell, only one user can access the drive at the same time from the iMac, but we can all access it from different Macs.
    Anyone have an idea of why this is happening and how to remidy it?

    This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
    If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
    See: 
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
      Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
         Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work.   It should.
        Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
      If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
    When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

  • Perform VENDOR EVALUATION for MORE THAN ONE VENDORS at a time

    Hello all,
    Please guide for any process where i can perform Vendor Evaluation for MORE THAN ONE vendors AT A TIME.
    At my location there are around thousand vendors, which are to be evaluated, and difficult to perform the evaluation process one-by-one.
    (ME61/ME62/ME63)
    Detailed replies with various possibilities would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Joy Ghosh

    The vendor evaluation for some thousand vendors at the same time has already been in SAP long before they developed LSMW. The purpose of LSMW is to load data from a legacy system, of course you can (mis-)use it for a lot other things.
    But you should not always use LSMW if you are to lazy to go thru the SAP standard menu to find a transaction like ME6G
    There you define a job that runs RM06LBAT report.
    You first have to define a selection variant for this report. this can be done in SE38 by entering the report name, select variant, clicking display, then entering a name for the variant and clicking Create.

  • HT1657 Can you rent more than one movie at the same time?

    Can you rent more than one movie at the same time on itunes?

    I think Justin is correct and you should have statistics in place and a reasonable partition scheme so that the optimizer selects the correct partitions rather than telling it what to do. You paid a lot for partitioning after all.
    There are some, possibly misguided, examples in the manuals showing how to create a view so you can delete from a single partition without specifying the partition criteria in the delete statement. This in effect turns partitioning back into DIY partitioning i.e. separate tables, union all and pretend its a single logical table using a view. But backwards.
    So to do what you want you just assume the partitions are separate tables, and then use union all to glue the ones you want back together.
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2000)
    union all
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2001)
    union all
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2003)
    union all
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2004);It probably goes without saying that as well as making the expensive version of partitioning behave like the free alternative, there is the possibility that it will perform like it as well.

  • Is there a way to put an item under more than one calendar at the same time?

    I use the calendar to keep track of not only my schedule, but my entire family's. For years I had a calendar labeled 'kids.' Now as they're getting older it would be easier to have an individual calendar for each child. Easier for me to track where they are and they could have they're own calendar on their iphone or iphone touch since we all share one cloud account. However, frequently more than one is at the same activity. The calendar program will only allow me to select one calendar to place an event under; as soon as I select another, it deselects the first. Is there a way to place an event under more than one calendar?
    (Since I'm still the one driving that needs to know date, time, place, etc type details I don't want them adding it to their own schedule - maybe -  on their devides and synching through cloud)

    You can create many calendars. Here's the tip:
    Example: you have 1 son and 1 daughter.
    In iCloud ( https://www.icloud.com )
    Create 1 calendar called Son ( Choose a color to tell them apart )
    Create 1 calendar called Daughter ( Ditto )
    Create 1 calendar called Kids
    Since you are the creator, you get to see all calendars combined.
    Send invitations to each of them
    Son gets Son and Kids calendars
    Daughter gets Daughter and Kids calendars
    So if there an event for Son, just put in that calendar
    If it's for both then enter it in the Kids calendar
    Likewise for daughter.

  • Drill down more than one characteristic at the same time.

    Hi,
    Is there any way to drill down more than one characteristic at the same time?
    When I drill down by 0cust_sales I would like to have drilled down: division/distrchan/salesorg/cust_sales without having to do that one by one.
    thank you!

    Hi,
    This cannot be done unless these characterstics are related to each other in some way as Charactertics & Display Attributes.
    The reason being when you drill down the 0cust_sales , there is no link from 0Cust_sales to the other characterstics hence there is no prompt for these characterstics to be drilled down.
    However, a smiliar thing might be acheived by adding these chareacterstics into the 0cust_sales in teh query designer by dragging n dropping them over 0cust_sales. you can try this and see if this is close to your requiremetn.
    Kind Regards,

    Is there any way that i can call more than one reports at the same time through the .FMX file. At the moment i can call only one report, if i need to call another report then i have to close the 1st report, then it will show me the 2nd report. Report Background Engine can run more than one reports at the same time?

    Yes i know, we can submit multiple - asynchronous- jobs, but the problem is, is not possible to open more than one previewer to see multiple reports at the same time for analysis.
