Fresh install and save time machine files

Is it possible to do a fresh install of the os (i have a new SSD on the way) and get the OS to somehow recognize the time machine files - ie. not delete them and start anew?
I have 2TB drive of backups for the last 5 months.
I'm thinking the best way would be to just clone the last 2 months sans OS files (or whatever fits) to another drive (via my eSata drive dock).
Any thoughts?

If you're going to install OSX on the SSD, and leave everything on the internal HD, Time Machine will just back up the SSD, and continue to do "incremental" backups of both the SSD and the internal HD.
But if you also move your data to the SSD, TM will back it up completely, since it's a different drive.
If there isn't enough space on your TM drive, it will start deleting old backups trying to make room; if it gets to the last remaining one and still hasn't enough room, it will fail (leaving the last backup).
You can delete all backups of things from the internal HD, if you want, per #12 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

  • Time machine was not working.  I bought a new time machine and migrated time machine files to new time capsule; not recognized by yosemite

    Time machine was not working after yosemite upgrade on new and old MacBooks in my house.  I bought a new time machine and migrated time machine files to new time capsule. I changed the names of the older sparse bundles to the default values.  Yosemite still does not recognize them. 

    I presume the bought a time machine means a time capsule.
    How did you migrate the Time Machine files?
    From where? A Time Capsule or external drive?
    It is difficult to get TM working with Yosemite.. since it doesn't work after the upgrade on the old TM backup.. it will not work on the migrated files either.
    You simply start a new backup and store the old backups for a few months until you are ready to dump them.
    The instructions for inheriting old backups is B5 and B6 here.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    However it is just unlikely to work.. TM in Yosemite is very different. Broken even.
    I also strongly recommend people to use Carbon Copy Cloner or some other 3rd party backup until Apple get the bugs fixed. And after several months.. they are still rampant.

  • Does a fresh OS X install wipe out Time Machine history?

    I just did a fresh Mac OS X install in a (failed) attempt to correct an elusive WindowServer problem:
    Quit all apps.
    Start a Time Machine backup and wait for it to finish.
    Turn off Time Machine.
    Clone the boot HD ("Hobbes") to another drive using SuperDuper!
    Boot from the Snow Leopard install DVD.
    Use Disk Utility on the DVD to erase the "Hobbes" HD, retaining the name.
    Install Mac OS X.
    During installation wrap-up, migrate everything (all accounts, settings, additional files) from the backup (step 4).
    Run Software Update to get back to 10.6.8.
    Resolve minor details to get everything back to normal.
    Before turning Time Machine back on, I verified it was still set to use the same backup HD and that my exclusion list had been preserved.  As expected, the backup dates were empty.
    With Time Machine's Preferences still open, I did a Backup Now from the TM menu.  The "Preparing" step almost immediately reported 10's of thousands of files.  I thought, "Yikes! This looks like Time Machine is going to start over from scratch!"
    So I quickly pushed the "stop backing up" button.  Time Machine promptly stopped ... and filled in the Oldest and Latest Backup dates.
    When I calmed down, I realized Time Machine was probably using folder update timestamps to find the new & modified files.
    Before I kick off an actual Backup Now, I'd like assurance that Time Machine will simply take a long time to discover the relatively few files that actually need to be backed up, preserving more than a year of incremental backups.

    After installing and initializing the new Time Machine 3 TB hard drive, I made a couple of attempts with SuperDuper! to clone my 1.5 TB drive (nearly full) onto the new drive.  The progress bar on the first attempt got to about 90% in 24 hours and appeared to stall.  So I restarted (for good measure) and attempted to complete the clone, which ran for many hours and stalled.
    Thinking that the original TM drive might be corrupted, I used Disk Utility to Repair the drive, which ran for many hours and stalled.  When I canceled the Repair, the drive had lost its volume name and would not mount.  Yikes! A repair using TechTool Pro 6 ran for hours and hung.  Fortunately, it did repair the drive sufficiently so that it would again mount.  Whew!
    Disk Utility Restore managed to do a block-level copy onto the new drive, taking about 8 hours.
    When I pointed Time Machine at the new drive, it immediately warned me that something might be amiss.  I clicked the button to proceed with backup set on the new drive.
    Backup Now started TM's "Preparing items..." phase, which took about 30 minutes to prepare nearly 3 million items.  Next came an "Indexing backup..." phase.  That gave me hope Time Machine would eventually "bless" the new drive and pick up where it left off last week.  But my hope faded after 24 hours of indexing.  The only "backupd" messages in the Console log were periodic reports of waiting for indexing to complete.  So I pushed the stop button.
    I'm at a fork in the road:
    1.  Erase the new drive and give Time Machine a fresh start, keeping the old drive around for while in case I need to restore an old file.
    2.  Give Time Machine another chance to "bless" the old backups on the new drive.

  • Time machine on external drive will not back up itunes media file on a separate external drive. Have already reformated itunes media drive,dragged itunes media backup file from time machine (old copy) and removed time machine plist and restarted.

    Two external drives, one for time machine backups and a second (daisy chained firewire) for itunes media folder . Time machine fails to backup the media file saying could not be completed, with no error specified. Steps taken already include reformating drive with media, dragging older media backup file from time machine disc to media disc, and deleting time machine plist and starting time macine preferences upon startup. Media folder is approx 200 gb, mostly ripped dvd movies.
    Any help for this??
    Thanks

  • I upgraded to Maverick and now Time Machine will not connect to the external hard drive to back up files.  The external hard drive is a Western Digital "My Book Live" 2 TB.  How do I solve problem?

    I upgraded to Maverick and now Time Machine will not connect to the external hard drive to back up files.  The external hard drive is a Western Digital "My Book Live" 2 TB.  How do I solve problem?

    I also had problem accessing my WD MyBookLive after upgrading to Maverick.
    To resolve the problem, I used  Connect To Server (Cmd K) to specify the IP address.
    Then I enter a user id and password I created in the MyBookLive.
    You can also verify that you have admin access to the MyBookLive using Safari or Chrome.
    Just enter the MyBookLive IP address as the URL.

  • Installing a new hard drive and using Time Machine to Restore system

    I just upgraded a Macbook (2006) hard drive and had problems importing the Time Machine backup. The problem was that the initial install discs were for Tiger, which did not support Time Machine. After numerous attempts at a work-around I solved this problem the following way:
    I connected the 2006 Macbook (with new hard drive) to a newer Macbook (with Firewire port) - one with install discs for Leopard (which supports Time Machine).
    I launched the newer Macbook with the install disc (#1)
    I connected the two Macbook via firewire cable.
    I launched the 2006 (new hard drive) Macbook in the Target Disc mode.
    I connected the USB external hard drive containing the Tme Machine data to a USB port in the newer Macbook.
    Next I went to the Utilities Menu on the Macbook (operating from the Install Disc) and selected Time Machine. I followed the prompts to match the source and destination. The process worked fine.
    The above assumes that a new hard drive is properly formatted using Disc Utility per Apple's guidance prior to the Time Machine restoration described above.
    Cheers.
    Bill

    Bill,
    No, the glass is half full!! In this case, we (collectively) have three things to brighten our day:
    1) That I was mistaken, and that your usage is completely legitimate. I definitely prefer this to what was inherent in my erroneous assumption, and I do not mind being wrong (not in the slightest).
    2) That we can be clever enough to overcome obstacles, then go out of our way to share our newfound knowledge with others. More specifically, that you have done so.
    3) That we are willing to police ourselves, if and when one of us might go astray. Even if I was wrong in this case, isn't it nice to know I am willing scold someone for being less than honorable?
    Perhaps my greatest mistake was the assumption that, if you had the proper disks at one time, you would still have them, or would have said so in your initial post. My apologies. Technically speaking, the media for a given OS should always be somewhere in your possession when running that OS. In practice, however, I strongly believe that some "wiggle room" exists, guided by common sense. In this case, I believe that the fact that you purchased said media gives you a pass, regardless of whether or not you know off the top of your head where it is.
    There. Are you still saddened?

  • Cannot delete Time Machine file from external hard drive

    Hello,
    I'd like to delete my original Time machine file from an external hard drive ( Lacie mini ). I move the file into the trash bin and it constantly "deletes". At one time I left it deleting overnight and the file still wasn't trashed.
    I am going to hook up Time Machine to a different, dedicated external hard drive, but I'd like to gain space on the drive that Time Machine is currently on.
    I currently have Time Machine turned off ( I do have everything backed up with my home folder on another external HD ). Should Time Machine be turned on for me to trash the file? Is there a better way to delete the file?
    Much thanks in advance.

    But what if a person doesn't want to erase the TM drive? My MacPro came with tiger installed, but since tiger-intel-retail discs don't exist, my copy of tiger is what i have. I was all manner of foolish directing TM to that drive, but damage is done. What can someone in my position do?

  • Is there a way to access Time Machine files associated with an old user name?

    My iMac was running super slow and there was a bunch of programs, etc. that I wanted to get rid of anyway so I thought I would do a "clean install" from my Snow Leopard disc.  I moved items on my desktop to my Seagate external drive and then unplugged it.  I have had Time Machine saving to it for a long time so I was confident I could just move a few items (pictures, music, etc.) back on to my hard drive when the install was completed.  To my surprise, when I went to Time Machine I found the items I had moved from my desktop but no earlier versions of my other files. 
    In researching this issue a little bit, it appears that perhaps I created a new user name when I did the install and that my historical items are likely still on the Seagate but stored somewhere associated with my old user name.  I understand that if I can change my user name back to the original that I may be able to access the items and transfer the items I want.  To compound the situation, I have no idea what my old user name even was.
    Does this make sense to Mac experts out there?
    If so, is there a way to see the old user names and access the Time Machine files?
    I've been avoiding telling my wife that I may have lost all our kid photos so I'm desperately hoping someone can help.

    The problem is that Time Machine detects your new OS X copy as a new Mac and it doesn't let you access to your backups. To access to them, see > http://pondini.org/TM/E3.html
    Another option would be to access to your backups manually. Open a Finder window, select the Time Machine drive in the sidebar and go to Backups.backupdb > your computer's name > one of the backups > your partition's name, and copy the data you want

  • I replaced my hard drive and used time machine to boot from but it installedthe unrepaired disk permissions of the faulty previous drive would this cause problems on my new drive?

    I replaced my hard drive on macbook pro and used time machine to boot from but it also installed the unrepaired disk permmissions of the other drive, would this cause problems to my new drive?

    Can you remember what the permissions problem was that you had before? You may need to reinstall OS X from scratch and not reinstall anything from your Time Machine backups. To be on the safe side you should reinstall all third-party applications from scratch, as well. Then only restore from your backup your document/data files.

  • How to change and save a new file in Edge web Lumira server for Team ?

    Hi Lumira folks,
    I've installed SAP Lumira 1.0, Edge edition and View a sample 'Dairy Wholesaler-Sample"
    I'd like to change it and save as new file, but "Save" button is disabled and when I put my mouse over the button,
    it says "Save Option is disabled in this version".
    Is there any idae how to change and save as a new file in Lumira Edge ?
    Many Thanks.
    JH

    I've just found the reason as below.
    http://scn.sap.com/community/lumira/blog/2015/03/20/lumira-server-for-teams-edge-edition-version-compatibility
    The current version of Lumira
    server for teams is 1.0. This version uses Lumira 1.22 as its 'engine' as this
    was the version of Lumira Desktop that was shipped at the same time.
    Hence with the current Lumira
    version compatibility; namely that a newer version of the product can open an
    older document, but an older version cannot open a newer document, care must be
    taken when deploying Lumira server for teams.
    Lumira server for teams is only
    compatible with Lumira desktop 1.22. If you intend to deploy Lumira server for
    teams, ensure your desktop users do not move to a later version of the desktop.
    Content created in a later version of Lumira desktop can be uploaded and shared
    via Lumira server for teams, but it cannot be viewed or edited online in the
    browser.
    Ensure desktop users disable the
    auto update capabilities in the desktop preferences, and set the update to
    none.

  • Can a Server install alter a Time Machine backup's permissions?

    I'm trying to change a server from Advanced to Simple, so I'd planned to:
    1) Run a final Time Machine backup
    2) Shut the server down
    3) Reinstall Leopard Server from scratch
    4) Reinstall any/all needed apps or files using Time Machine.
    The first snag I ran into was that after step 3) all files in the Time Machine backup seemed to have had their permissions altered so that I could not access the folders and could not make changes to the files.
    Based on help from someone else I was able to find out that an ACL is in effect on these files.
    I also had some files stored on the Time Machine Backups drive as regular files....these do not appear to have the ACL applied.
    When I couldn't figure out how to deal with that I went ahead and did a Full Restore using the Leopard Server Install DVD. This went without a hitch and the Time Machine backup files no longer appeared to have the ACL applied.
    So can installing Leopard Server using all defaults where possible (excl. server name and such) and using the Simple server options alter the existing backups on a Time Machine Backups disk like this? Is there something I can/should be doing differently to get this to work "correctly"? Reinstalling from scratch again is still an option if there's something different to try.
    Thanks in advance!

    P.S. I was expecting to have to do some manual reconstruction on the mail server that runs on this box, but didn't expect issues like this so any help is appreciated!

  • How can I access Time Machine files?

    I installed an external 500 gigger external drive and dedicated it to Time Machine in June 2011. In October 2012 I upgraded to Snow Leopard and checked Time Machine only to find that all dates prior to that date were grayed out. I thus lost access to some important files since the automatic back-up began anew in November 2012.
    The Finder indicates that the external drive contains over 100 GB of saved files which must be the ones under the grayed-out dates. There are no photos or movies on the Time Machine drive as I am using another external for those. I have used every trick and tried every advice given in this forum including a Utilities-Repair of that drive - to no avail.
    How can I regain access to the contents hidden under the dates which do NOT light up when I pass the mouse over them?

    I suggest you read Pondini's Time Machine articles; http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html

  • Can I with no worries delete my old back-up and use Time Machine?

    Before upgrading my MacBook to Leopard I took a back-up, just to be sure. I'm thinking of making a clean install of Leopard though, just to be certain to get the best out of it. The thing is that I want to try out Time Machine, but I don't have the space of on my external HD to make a partition for Time Machine and keep my old back up. So is Time Machine reliable? Would it be safe for me to back up my system using Time Machine, do a clean install, and then get my files back to my Mac through Time Machine and my external HD?
    Thanks

    It's your call.
    The first thing that Time Machine is going to do will be to make a full backup of your machine anyway, so from the standpoint of whether you'll need the old backup, that is unlikely from a purely "got a copy of the data" standpoint.
    However, if you ever want to roll back to Leopard, for example if you had a Tiger-only application or other issues that prevented you running Leopard, having that original backup would be invaluable, and not possible to do from Time Machine only.
    To hedge your bets, a second drive might be in order. It doesn't need to be a large one - just enough for your current data since you can backup your existing machine on it, leaving your existing drive (assuming it's larger) for TM.
    Of course, you could also not turn on Time Machine until you're ready, leaving you with your existing backup intact, and throwing that away when you turn on TM. That way you don't need an extra drive, you just miss out on TM in the short term.
