Exactly what is getting backed up ?

Time Capsule seems to be working fine after initial set up and I can see my files remotely when I go into Time Machine on my mac.
However, when I look at OPen Time Machine Preferences>Options I see my 'Filevault' protected drive in the 'do not backup' section - it states that it is 178GB - not sure how this can be as my laptop is only 120Gb?
confused. I like to understand whats happening and be sure that all of my files are getting backed up.

Yes, I'd like to know how I can confirm what has been backed up on my Time Capsule, as well. I'm assuming the following does this:
1) Open the Time Machine Preferences pane and confirm that, say, XX amount of GB of storage space have been used.
2) Mount the Time Machine disk image on the desktop and go folder diving as you would with an external. By the way, this can be a little time consuming since its response times fall far short of a fire wire on a Lacie, for example. Big folder or, say, a big iPhoto library can take a minute to report on the GBs used.
3) And/or folder dive via Time Machine's "black hole" display, as above.
Doing this has 80% convinced me that the Time Capsule sitting on my desk (looking rather like an over-sized Rennie tablet) has indeed got my life's work; my most treasured images of parents and children and God knows what else safely in its custody. But I'm probably too trusting, eh?
Any confirmation of the above and/or further wisdoms gratefully received.

  • SPD 2013 workflow making a REST call to Search returns no records, even though I can take the exact URL and get back records in the browser

    I am making the following REST call from a SharePoint Designer workflow:
    Site-URL/_api/search/query?querytext='WorkEmail:*zafgen.com'&rowlimit=10&startrow=0&selectproperties='LastName,FirstName,WorkEmail,JobTitle,Path,PictureUrl,PreferredName,Department,AboutMe'&SourceId='b09a7990-05ea-4af9-81ef-edfab16c4e31'
    When I make this call from a designer workflow running as the user who started it (The user is a site collection admin) I get the results shown below.  NOTE that I get ZERO records.  If I take the url above and place it in the address bar
    of any browser, I get back 10 users.  (Exactly what I asked for.)  Furthermore, if I try to put the call to a REST service in a APP Step, I get a failure return code:
    {"error":{"code":"-1, Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.REST.SearchServiceException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"An unknown error occurred."}}}
    I have no issues making REST calls to SharePoint Lists and Libraries, but a call to search seems to have issues.  Any thoughts?

  • Just what is getting backed up?

    There was a time when I didn't need an external drive just for my iTunes library. It passed several weeks ago.
    I bought a 500GB external drive and moved my iTunes content there, via a firewire connection initially.
    Then there was a reconditioned AirportExtreme available from Apple, so I bought it. (Yes I had considered a Time Capsule at the onset. Yes I read a lot of reviews. No, I don't think I want to own that particular device).
    So now my Time Machine question:
    Is my external drive, still listed by its original name via the AirPort Extreme, backing up with Time Machine?
    I'd assume not, much as I'd like it too. That said if I look in Time Machine's preference pane, then click options, I see "Total Included: 159.1 GB". About the cumulative total of my internal drive and the media storage across the room in "Kind: Mac Server" land.
    Entering Time Machine I can see that drive but not select it. That leads me to believe its not included in the backups. What's the unaccounted for 100+GB's getting backed up then?

    The drive in question was connected for a time as a FW drive, It was also removed from the exclusion list. I know it was backing up then. The drive has now been moved to a USB connection on the AirPort Extreme.
    I have been using TM since October when I got this Mac.
    This morning, "Total Included" lists 110GB less than it did last night.
    Time Machine took a few days to modify that amount. That's what confused me.
    I had assumed the drive wasn't in the backups but the skewed "Total Included" number didn't make sense.

  • 4-7Mpbs what exactly do i get?

    Seems like the content got erased.
    Let me restate the question (as replied below)
    I stated clearly in the original post.
    I just want to know what exactly does 4-7Mpbs DOWNLOAD means? Does it mean the advertise speed is somewhere between 4 and 7 Mpbs?

    It means the connection between your DSL modem and the Central office will be somewhere between 4 and 7 million bits per second. What sort of speed test results you get varies considerably because of network traffic and shaping done upstream of you DSL connection by Verizon and just about every other part of the internet.
    The 4-7 mbps tier requires a relatively short copper pair between you and the Central Office, and that the pair be in good condition. Exactly what you get you will be able to determine from the transceiver statistics once you are connected.
    That translates to .5 to .875 million bytes per second if there are no bottlenecks upstream. What the DSL modem and Central Office equipment negotiate speed will be the lower of either the provisioned speed (if you have a 4-7Mbps plan, it is 7mbps), or the highest speed the DSL modem can negotiate with Central Office Equipment. That speed is very sensitive to both the distance from the Central Office, and the condition of the copper pair, and in some cases, the wiring inside the house.
    I believe the uplink on the 1-3, and 4-7 mbps tiers is 768kbps, but YMMV due to the condition of the copper pair. Generally the Kbps uplink is good for a much longer distance then the 4-Mbps downlink is.
    Hope that answers you question.

  • What is "Get More" in "Apps with usage access" in Android 5.1.1?

    After upgrading to 5.1.1 I see that Sony has added something called "Get More" in the list of "apps with usage access" (you can find this list in the Security section of the phone settings).The apps in this list can monitor how you use the phone so I am not happy about something unknown being found in this list. So far I had "devicemonitor", "Google Play services" (disabled) and "STAMINA mode". Now there is a fourth entry "Get More" and I found it was already enabled.I see that this has happened on both my phone and tablet so it is definitely something Sony did during the 5.1.1 update. What is this "Get More" and why did it get the power and permissions to intrude on my phone usage without requesting my consent? 

    I quote from that thread: It's one of our preinstalled system apps so it's not a malware So nobody knows exactly what it is but I must assume it is not malware because it is from Sony???? Like this has never happened?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_rootkitOne of the programs installed even if the user refused its EULA, and it "phoned home" with reports on the user's private listening habits; Can anybody tell exactly what this "Get More" is? It is disgusting that 10 years later Sony still has not got the message that they should not install spyware on people's devices! 

  • I erroneously deleted some background icons, that now have left me with only thumbnail images, what appears when I want to enlarge is a grey circle containing a black exclamation symbol, how can I get back full function and undo my mistake

    I have erroneoulsy deleted icons repetious images from the computer which then affected my iphoto images, leaving me in some cases only with the thembnail image.   When I try to enlarge or perform any other function all that appears is a black field containing a grey circle with a black exclamation symbol( !)
    within it.  How to I get back full function of these affected images and undo my goof up.   I have tried restore, but my attempts have not proved successful. 
    Help !!!
    silvercoho

    What exactly did you do to delete these?
    How did you try to "restore" and what did you try to restore?
    Probably the only solution is to restore your backup of the iPhoto library  from before you did this

  • Just bought new iMac. When browsing in Safari, sometimes the text suddenly gets super large. I'm doing nothing except reading the screen, tho I have my hand on the mouse. I can get back to normal size by clicking "actual size" in View. What gives?

    Just bought brand new new iMac. When browsing in Safari, sometimes the text suddenly gets super large. I'm doing nothing except reading the screen, tho I usually have my hand resting lightly on the mouse. I can get back to normal size by clicking "actual size" in View. But then it does it again a minute or two later. What gives? Something seems defective--but what?

    From System Preferences, Mouse, Point & Click, Secondary click.  Go to it hover over Secondary click and watch the short video sequence change it left right, left right, you will see exactly what is does. No I do not think your Mouse is defective, you simply need to take control of your Mouse finger.

    The files that weren't inside the media folder on the original machine need to be copied over to exactly the same paths as they had on the source machine. See this thread for an ongoing discussion of a similar problem. See also this post on migrating the iTunes library.

  • Some times when I press the home button to read my finger the screen becomes black and it shows the Apple logo, this take a few seconds to get back the screen and this has been happening even 3 or 4 times in a row!   What should I do?

    What should I do?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • HT1349 I lost/had my iPhone stolen. Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.

    Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It (Find my iPhone) was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.

    Find My iPhone is good for misplaced iPhone but not good for thief and it was never meant to be.
    You chance of getting it back is very small.
    There are a few things you can try.
    Try remote lock/wipe your iPhone through Find My iPhone.
    https://www.icloud.com
    You can report to the police, cell carrier (expensive cell charges for international calls, roaming etc)
    Change all the passwords used in iPhone: Apple ID, E-mail, Bank Account ....

  • My Phone is getting stuck in App mode and I have to reboot to get back to the regular screen? What ever app I'm in works but I cant exit?

    My Iphone 4 is getting stuck in what ever App or screen I have open. I have to reboot to get back to the normal screen. I have done a reset with no change. Any advice?

    I'm assuming your iPhone is not jailbroken?
    You likely have an app that's misbehaving.  Try restoring as new and see how it runs factory fresh.
    Also, maybe your Home button is not functioning correctly.  This has been a widely reported problem.  Try cleaning under it with a vacuum or compressed air.
    Note that you have a 1 year warranty - you may need to use it.
