Equivalent location for /private/var/db/.TimeMachine.Results.plist in Mavericks

Hi,
In Mountain Lion, I used a shell script to let me know the completion date of the last backup:
defaults read /private/var/db/.TimeMachine.Results BACKUP_COMPLETED_DATE
Can someone kindly let me know what the equivalent might be in 10.9?
Cheers.

Not a definitive answer, but I suspect that hidden file is no longer supported. All the status are recorded in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine now. You're looking for the SnapshotDates under Destinations.
It's non-trivial to parse the "latest" date out of the plist, however.
Thank's very much. This got me started on the right track. So, far I have this:
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print Destinations:0:SnapshotDates" /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
which gives me oldest to latest:

  • Netboot diskless mounts local drive in shadow place (/private/var/netboot)

    Hi!
    I'm on the way to prepare a diskless netboot in OS 10.7.2.
    Everything seems ok. I've made the image, tag it as diskless, default, and the client boots.
    When i run "mount" in the client after boot and sucessful login i get this:
    tarrero-mac:~ root# mount

    I have two physic drives plus one (netboot).
    disk0 is my internal drive (with "Macintosh HD" and "Recovery" partitions), and disk1 is a firewire drive (with "OS1", "OS2", "OS3" and "Data" volumes).
    disk2 (i guess) is the netboot volume.
    Please pay special attention to the two bold lines.
    From the first one (correct me if i'm wrong) i know the machine is "netboot'ing"
    The weird comes with the second bold line, where one of my local drives is getting mounted in the same path!!!
    From this great but outdated document (Troubbleshooting the netboot process), i learn that in this mount point there should be the "shadow" volume mounting, not any local drive.
    Some interesting checks looking for the proper answer in DHCP packets:
    tarrero-mac:~ root# ipconfig netbootoption shadow_mount_path
    afp://netboot100:[email protected]/NetBootClients0
    tarrero-mac:~ root# ipconfig netbootoption shadow_file_path
    NetBoot001/Shadow
    tarrero-mac:~ root# ipconfig netbootoption machine_name
    NetBoot001
    Everything seems ok.
    If i try to manually mount the shadow volume...
    Let's say, CMD+K -> afp://netboot100:[email protected]/NetBootClients0
    ... that mounts the volume propperly, with write permissions.
    In fact, there is a folder in the network shadow volume called "NetBoot001" with a file inside called "Shadow" (binary file, around 50Mb, wooow!)
    So the machine connects to the folder and creates the files needed.
    While almost all local disk mounts in the right place (/Volumes/*), there is always one partition which mounts in the Shadow drive mount path.
    In the logs before, it was the "Data" volume whithin "disk1s6".
    If i physically remove some of this local drives (let's say the firewire one, which s6 partition actually is mount in /private/var/netboot), the partition which get mounted in this place changes too! after that, it was the "Macintosh HD" (disk0s2) which get mount in this wrong place (so it's not an UUID related problem, neither fstab-like systems, i guess).
    I've also made a test in the Netboot Image. I've editted the netboot boot process in /etc/rc.netboot to force (and check if fails) the shadow mount:
    # Define: NETBOOT_SHADOW
    # Purpose:
    #   To change the behavior of the system when choosing a netboot shadow
    #   to use.
    # Values:
    #   -NETWORK-           Try to use the network for the shadow file, if
    #                       that fails, use the local drive
    #   -NETWORK_ONLY-      Only use the network, fail if not available
    #   -LOCAL-             Use the local drive for the shadow file, if that
    #                       fails, use the network
    #   -LOCAL_ONLY-        Only use the local drive for the shadow, fail if
    #                       not available
    NETBOOT_MOUNT=/var/netboot
    #NETBOOT_SHADOW=${NETBOOT_SHADOW:-NETWORK-}
    NETBOOT_SHADOW=${NETBOOT_SHADOW:-NETWORK_ONLY-}
    ... and this also work, forcing the shadow to be "Network only, if not fail", so i define my problem as:
    Regardless the shadow mount is working as expected and properly configured, some ¿random? partition from local drives get mount in it's mounting path.
    Someone knows how to fix that?
    Someone knows what problems derive from a missworking shadow volume?
    Someone points me to where can i make some more tests or debug?
    thanks and regards! and excuse that "homemade" english, i hope you to understand

    HI TArre, I came across you post these past days whilst trying to resolve the same issue. I have resolved this now by using some information similar to what you and Joel have posted and additional from other varied sources not only OSX.
    I have detailed a procedure at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6039524
    For others having the issue of not being able to DISMOUNT UNMOUNT direct attached file systems when in NetBoot Diskless mode because one is in use for /private/var/netboot part of the cause is certainly the inability of AFP to access AND be authorised for READ/WRITE of the volume/folder for Netbootclients0 (1,2,3 etc) over AFP. Any readers here , I suggest you check that first .
    Use the following osx ipconfig (yes!) commands to verify the AFP path from the net booted client.
    verify the APF netboot shadow file path its trying to use - use Terminal
    ipconfig getpacket en0
    sudo ipconfig netbootpacket
    Sadly there is not much in the way of textual diagnostics in the NETBOOT process.
    Post your results for others to see.

  • A private var folder is taking up all of my startup disk space and I can't delete it.

    HI,
    My startup disk usage jumped to full quite unexpectedly. On running 'daisy disk' I can see that most of the space has been taken up with files marked as:
    Disks and folders/macintosh hd/private/var/vm followed by a whole lot of 'swap file' extensions (34.3 GB in total)
    and
    folders/macintosh hd/private/var/db
    What are these large files, and how do I delete them?  Daisy disk says that they are required by OsX- but they weren't there before-
    Alison

    Shutdown the computer. Wait 30 seconds then restart. See if anything has changed. The swap files should be deleted. The main reason you may have such large swap is because you are running out of memory from trying to run to many applications concurrently.
    Do not do anything with the /private/var/db file. The system needs that file.
    There are many things that can take up space on a hard drive:
    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

  • "Combine PDFs" Places New File In /private/var/folders/0Q etc. WHERE?

    I have just used Automator to combine .pdfs.
    Apparently it has put the combined file in ....
    /private/var/folders/0Q/0QlZ-reFFvSsYn6CVY8VXk+Ti/-Tmp-/ftqdhY.pdf
    So where on earth is that?
    I can summon up the new file by double-clicking it in the Automator "Results" window and save it somewhere convenient, but I would like to be able to drag the original from where it is hiding and put it in a place of my choosing.

    Thanks! The nearest I could find to your suggested action was "New Folder", which I didn't hold out much hope for, but it worked!
    Any idea how to access the weird place my original attempts were put into?

  • Deleted private/var/db folder.... Can't boot

    Hi, first I know that what I did was stupid but I didnt know what I was doing.. and I still don’t know what are the consequences.
    In order to save space on my MBP 2011 Snow Leopard, I deleted private/var/db folder, yes the whole folder to the trashbin and then I emptied it. Files that were in use weren´t deleted.
    So I rebooted and the screen is stuck on apple logo with the turning wheel and safe boot start normally but end up with the turning wheel too.
    How can I put fix this issue?
    Can I recover the files deleted ? Or at least put back the files that are still in the trash bin ?
    Thank you for any help.

    If they borrow a disc it's possible to replace just the deleted directory using Pacifist:
    How Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
    A few of the basic OS X installed applications can be restored from the Optional Installs installer located in the Optional installs folder on your Installer DVD.  However, if what you need is not there then follow the instructions below.
    How to Use Pacifist to Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
    Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive.  Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items.  Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
    Press RETURN.
    To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
    The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
    Download the shareware utility Pacifist. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
    Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
    Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
    Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
    Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go to Folder. In the path field enter or paste ....
    /Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.)
    Click on the  "Go" button ..... • Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
    The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
    D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
    1.          In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
    2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
    2b.          or click the “Find” icon in the Pacifist window and type the name of the software you need.
    3.          In the list that comes back, click the top most entry for the item that you want. ..... that is the one for the English language.
    4.          On the top of the Pacifist window, click “verify” .... you will probably be prompted for your password.
    5.          Enter checks for.... “verify permissions” and “verify file contents.” and click “verify” ....enter password when prompted.... you will get back output which may look like this:
              20 files were scanned. 20 of 20 files were present on the hard disk. 0 of 20 files had file permissions that did not match those specified in the package. 0 of 20 files had checksums that did not match those specified in the package.
    6.          Click “close”. Go to step 7.
    Extract or Install........
    7.          In the Toolbar (upper left), you now have the option to extract or install. Click a file in the lower list and those two icons will be enabled.
    8.          If “Extract to...” is selected.... navigate to the location where the file will be placed, select “choose”, select “extract” in new dialog that appears,authenicate , if prompted, click “OK”.
    9.          In the next dialog, click “Extract”.
    10.          If “Install” is selected... dialog will appear with the location/path of the installed software. Click “Install”
    11.          Type in your password, click “OK”
    Pacifist will begin to extract files.
    12.          In steps 8/10ß.... you also have the choice to “cancel”
    Notes:          Pacifist may find that a file it is installing already exists on the hard disk. Pacifist will present you with an alert panel....
    Stop
    Leave original alone
    Update .....
    Default selection
    Replace .... (Replace option should only be used on full install packages)

  • What to look for in a location for setting up an Extreme?

    I have a router, cable modem, cell phone extender, and hub in a bedroom closet because that is the way it was setup when I moved into my house. It is messy and there are lots of messy cables. I want to move all of this into another part of my house. What do I need to look for when deciding a location for all of this gear? What technical requirements do I need to ensure that it will work? Do I just need power and an ethernet port on the wall? Anything else?
    Thanks.

    Why adequate ventillation?
    To keep electronics running cooler, so they will last longer. If you are not concerned about component life, then you can ignore the advice about ventilation.
    The gear is on one side of my house and I plan to add another Express device to use to extend the Wi-Fi signal. In this case, I'm assuming your sprinkler example does not matter?
    Then why did you not tell us this originally? We could have saved you some time.
    You told us that you planned to move all of the gear in the closet, and now you seem to be saying that is not the plan.
    Locate the AirPort Express approximately half way between the AirPort Extreme and the general area that needs more wireless coverage.
    Extending this way always results in compromises. The Express needs to be close to the AirPort Extreme to get a good strong signal, and yet it also needs to be close to the wireless devices to deliver a strong signal to the devices.
    It cannot be located both near the Extreme and your devices at the same time, so the best "compromise" is about half way between the Extreme and the area where you need more wireless signal coverage. Avoid walls or ceilings in the signal path as much as possible.
    Remember that the Express can only "extend" the quality and speed of signal that it receives. It cannot "boost" the speed of the connection, it can only make it go further.
    A much better solution if possible would be to connect the AirPort Express to the AirPort Extreme using a wired Ethernet cable connection. Then, you can locate the Express exactly where it will be most needed, since there is no signal loss in a wire.

  • SBS 2011 GPO for changing the default save location for Word/Excel 2013 not working

    So this is a strange one. I've got an SBS 2011 server that's the only domain controller in the org. I've created a GPO to change the default save location for Excel 2013 and Word 2013 using the Office 2013 ADMX files which were installed to the PolicyDefinitions
    folder.
    The GPO (U-Office2013 Default Save Location) only contains:
    1. User Configuration - Microsoft Excel 2013/Excel Options/Save - Default file location - Enabled - Z:\
    2. User Configuration - Microsoft Word 2013/Word Options/Advanced/File Locations - Default file location - Enabled - Z:\
    The GPO is linked at the OU that contains my users for my SBS organization.
    When I do a gpupdate /force on a windows 7 system with office2013 installed, and then run a gpresult/rsop, the policy appears to be applied successfully as it lists my GPO under the Applied GPOs list on the workstation:
    Applied GPOs
    Default Domain Policy dyndns.local AD (24), Sysvol (24)
    U-Office2013 Default Save Location domain.local/SBSusers AD (6), Sysvol (6)
    In the gpresult report, the applied settings appear under:
    Administrative Templates
    Extra Registry Settings
    software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\excel\options\defaultpath Z:\ U-Office2013 Default Save Location
    software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\word\options\doc-path Z:\ U-Office2013 Default Save Location
    BUT, when I go to the workstation, and check office->options-Save-default file path, the path has not been changed to what the GPO is pushing.
    The strange thing is that in my test environment running 2008R2 server and Win7 with Office 2013 and identical settings the default save location is applied and works as expected.
    Any ideas?
    I've already tried re-installing the ADMX templates and re-created the GPO's several times.
    I should also note that other GPO's on the SBS2011 server such as the folder redirection GPO work as expected on the same windows 7 system. It just appears to be an issue with the default save location in office2013 and other Office 2013 related GPOs which
    utilize the recently added ADMX template that don't seem to be working for me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Justin,
    Thanks for your reply. I have tried several different user accounts (all have local admin privileges to the workstation) with the same issue. The default save path does not get applied from the GPO to any of the users i've tried. Here's the steps I took
    per your suggestion:
    1. log on as a user who has never logged onto the workstation before.
    2. run gpupdate /force (entered y for yes when prompted to log off).
    3. Log back in as the user and open Office and check the default save path. It has not been changed to match the GPO setting.
    4. Check rsop to see if the policy was applied. Rsop states the gpo was applied successfully.
    I have attached the gpsvc.log file from a the session described above. The GPO Guid in question is: {DC3C93EC-7C28-48E9-BA38-FCA1E275A207}. Its common name is: U-Word 2013 Default Save Location. It's only setting is:

  • Can you use a network share as location for users' home

    I am running a Mac mini with Mountain Lion and Server.app as a home server. For added storage space I have a NAS. I would like to set up the open directory network users' home share on the NAS. Is that even possible?
    I am able to mount the network share on the mini using either afp or nfs, and I can also add the NAS share as a home folder enabled share in the server.app and select that as location for a users home folder, but that only results in the user not being able to log on to his account. Is there something that I am missing or is what I am trying to accomplish simply not possible?

    It used to be officially supported to use NFS for clients to access their network home directories but with Lion (and Mountain Lion) this was no longer officially supported.
    Therefore the need as I mentioned to 're-share' the volume via AFP. As you implied this does unfortunately impose an additional network overhead as traffic has to go as follows.
    client ----> AFP ----> Server -----> NFS -----> NAS
    What you could consider to help at least a little bit is to connect the server to the NAS on a totally separate network to the network the server uses to talk to the clients on. The main network would be between the server and clients, and you would use a second Ethernet connection just link the NAS and the server. As the clients will not need to talk directly to the NAS this will not be a problem. This would at least mean that each network only gets one set of traffic either AFP or NFS but not both and means the server can use both at full speed at the same time.
    The Mac Pro still has two built-in 1Gbps Ethernet ports but you can also get either a USB3 Ethernet adaptor or a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adaptor (I have used one of these on a Mac mini server).
    If you did not already have the NAS then people starting from new would be better off either getting a Thunderbolt RAID which can be directly attached to the Mac server, or at the higher-end go the traditional route of setting up a SAN and using an FDDI connection.
    Note: You can now get Thunderbolt to FDDI interfaces.

  • Hard Drive filling up: SubmitDiagInfo, /private/var & log issues

    This topic is part question, part help for people I've seen having a similar problem in other threads. My issue is different enough from the other issues, that I wanted to post it as a separate topic.
    I've had about 24GB of available space for weeks now. I haven't downloaded any large files recently, nor created any myself.
    Suddenly I noticed the hard drive space decreasing. I went from 24GB, to 19GB, to 10GB, then 8, 5, 1.5... next thing I knew, it said I had 260MB available. This was within maybe two days, with a big ramp-down within a couple of hours this morning, while I was on a train, and not even connected to a network.
    I started getting error messages saying my hard drive was full; then, I got errors saying I didn't have enough application memory, and applications were being paused, and I would have to force quit them. Within about 5 minutes, I dropped from 1.5GB to 260MB.
    Thinking back, the last week or so, I remembered that sometimes when I came into my office in the morning, my Mac would be awake (I usually sleep it at the end of the day, and an error message would be displayed saying SubmitDiagInfo had crashed. I thought this might have something to do with it.
    I did some detective work in these forums. I checked Activity Monitor and the Console. Sure enough, SubmitDiagInfo was taking up a bunch of CPU time.
    The Console revealed I had a lot of Diagnostic Logs. I tried deleting them with the Console's Clear button, but it didn't seem to do anything. I checked with OmniDiskSweep, and sure enough, I had over 20GB of log files.
    At this point, my hard drive was so full, I had to force quit OmniDiskSweep. I used the Go To Folder command and entered /private/var/log - The Diagnostic Logs folder was nearly 20GB. I deleted it and emptied the trash immediately.
    I looked at the /private/var/vm folder and noticed it was also very large (10GB), but I had read elsewhere not to mess with this folder.
    From the console, I quit SubmitDiagInfo.
    I check my hard drive, and I'm suddenly back to 24GB free space.
    When I look again at /private/var/vm, and sure enough it is 5GB smaller.
    This is weird stuff, and I hope this description helps anyone else having this problem.
    What's interesting is, because the /private folder is invisible, you can't use it to calculate your disk space usage. For example, the folders on my drive had the following space usage:
    62.46GB34.53GB+22.96GB+4.78GB4.02GB = 128.75GB (plus a few "small" folders with maybe 300MB)
    Since the drive showed 159GB total space available, I couldn't figure out where the other 30GB was.
    Once I found /private/log, I could see it had 19.29GB:
    62.4634.53+22.96+4.78+4.0219.29 = 148.04 - ah, this makes more sense, but I'm still missing 10GB! So, I look at /private/vm, and boom, there is the extra 10.6GB hiding. All 159GB present and accounted for.
    The question I have is, of course, can anyone explain why this is happening, so I can prevent it from happening again?
    I hope someone finds this helpful.

    Thanks... that is helpful. I have Carbon Copy Cloner, not
    Super Duper, so I will keep that solution in mind.
    Do not, repeat do not, clone your current suspect hard drive
    to your CCC backup. That would defeat the purpose of having
    a good backup. I don't know if you can boot from you CCC
    backup. That would be a good test. I was able to boot from
    my SuperDuper backup and notice normal hard drive space.
    In the meantime, I ran the extended system test, and the
    computer passed.
    Mine with the growing hard drive passed every test I had plus
    the test Apple recommended. They were quick place the blame
    on a Virtual Windows XP Pro. I do not thing that was the
    problem. My normal Macintosh HD is usually about 52 GB
    and it was showing 110 GB used and I never could figure out
    what was hogging the hard drive.
    Good luck!

  • Star Up Disk "full" problems...Which private/var files can I delete?

    I have been having issues with my start up disk being full.
    To the point where I could not copy to my clipboard as I had ZERO space left, programmes were shutting down etc.
    I couldn't even delete the few pics I had as I couldn't open my Kodak software.
    I have uploaded the photos now and deleted them, I have copied all the files I can to sticks, there is basically nothing I have added on the computer, yet I still have only under 700 MB of space on my HD.
    I have downloaded and run Omni Disk...it is telling me I have 130GB of "private/var" files.
    I know I cannot just go around deleting things, so need to know what I can and cant delete if possible?
    I really need to sort this problem out!
    I also need to know how to fix this problem from happening again - is this a log problem or what exactly?
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    Hi, Limeslice
    just to make sure that there is not a dum mistake: did you empty the trash?.
    Other:
    Disk space consumers are typically large photo libraries, music and video files.
    back them up, then delete them, and don't forget to empty the trash.
    To find large directories :
    open Terminal (under applications/utilities), then type "du -d 1 -h" (without quotation marks). this gives a list. for example, it says " 25G ./Pictures", it means that the Picture directory has 25 GB. you can then refine and ask for deeper levels, by typing "du -d 2 -h" or "du -d 3 -h".
    Try to find out in this way. if this doesn't give you the correct hint, please, report back, there might be more complex problems.
    Success, Thomas

  • How can I fix this permissions "Library/Printers-should be 80 group is 0. Permissions differ. And User differs on "private/var/db/displaypolicyd" should be 0; Group is 244?

    How can I fix this on my 2014 iMac, please?
    Verifying permissions for “Macintosh HD”Group differs on “Library/Printers/InstalledPrinters.plist”; should be 80; group is 0.Permissions differ on “Library/Printers/InstalledPrinters.plist”; should be -rw-rw-rw- ; they are -rw-r--r-- .User differs on “private/var/db/displaypolicyd”; should be 0; user is 244.Group differs on “private/var/db/displaypolicyd”; should be 0; group is 244.
    I run the "fix" and it seemingly does, but if I verify permissions again later it returns.
    Thank you!

    It's not an error but an informative message that you can safely ignore. it's innocuous.

  • /private/var/tmp has gone missing!  ***?!?!?!?

    Please, I need help on this one. I had an iBook G4 crash on me, then get as far as the white Apple screen with pinwheel before freezing. I tried running Disk Utility off of an OS X install disk, and it found no volume structure errors. However, when I tried repairing permissions on it, Disk Utility was reporting that the directory /private/var/tmp has gone missing, and it could not repair permissions.
    What gives? How can the whole directory get fried? How can I replace it? I've already tried doing an archive and install, but the OS X installed won't let me do an archive and install, probably because this folder is missing.
    Can anyone help?

    Get Prosoft Data Rescue to recover the data to an external hard disk. Shut down the computer, disconnect the drive any other third party peripherals and then next after that do an erase and install of the operating system. You will probably want to use a CD burner to burn off less frequently used data on occasion at least a couple times so that your hard drive does not fill up with unessential stuff. Some more tips on backing up are on this page:

  • Upgraded to Mavericks - System errors popping up in /private/var/tmp ... Help!!

    Hi there,
    Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks, and installed my standard software, I'm getting some odd behaviour.
    Every so often (no discernable pattern so far) my Finder pops up with a new window in /private/var/tmp.  There is a huge system stacktrace printed out in a file with the following format: "
    sysdiagnose_2013.10.30_19-53-16-MDT_9956.tar.gz
    There are a ton of files in there, so I have no idea how to figure out what is crashing and causing it. I get no "system crash message" to go along with it.

    The aspect ratio should be set to 200x280, or equivalently 5x7.
