Full System Back Up

Hi,
How do I perform a full back up of my OS 10.4.11 mac that can be used to completly restore my computer to how it is now at a later date? I've tried searching but the only how to guides seem to involve 10.5 and time machine. I'm sure I've see something about it in disk utilities but I can see it at the moment.
Thanks

Hi-
Use a cloning utility, such as SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
I use SuperDuper, and wouldn't ever want to be without it or the system clones that it produces.

I recently used an external hard drive to back up photos etc from my mac, I didn't do a full system back up. Since then a finder window titled 'client node' keeps popping up every time i hit the spacebar. Can anyone help me please stop this happening?

Click on it, choose Get Info from the File menu, and check the format.
If it's formatted as NTFS, reformat it as MS-DOS, exFAT, or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as desired, or install software such as Paragon NTFS on the computer.
If it's formatted as FAT32 or exFAT, use the Disk Utility's Repair Disk command on it; this may also happen for a flash drive which is about to fail.
If it's formatted as Mac OS Extended, click Authenticate and provide your administrator password, or change the permissions on that specific folder in its Get Info window.

Hey I'm a novice on computers but i've just done a full system restore on my laptop and put it back to factory spec, obviously i backed up all the data on an external hard-drive but when i have re-installed itunes and gone to import all my old music files from my previous itunes library as mpeg4 files it keeps telling me i don't have permission??!! *** someone please explain or tell me how to get music on to my new itunes without having to re-import every cd i own which is alot!!!

Other than iMovie, GB always incorporates the audio files into the GB package. So just save or move the GB project to the external drive, and you're done - anything you import, edit or record will be saved to the external drive.

HT4528 My iPhone 4s would not sync - it kept canceling. I backed it up and did a full system restore. Now it won't restore my apps. It starts on 1 of 51 and then tells me it's canceling sync and it stops. My apps are all black. How do I fix this?

My iPhone 4S kept canceling while syncing. In the Apple support communities, it was recommended that I do a full system restore. I backed the phone up and did the restore. Now it won't finish the restore process. It gets to where it will restore the apps and it says "copying 1 of 51", and then it cancels the sync. I have no apps on the phone - they are all black and they say "waiting". How do I get the apps reloaded on the phone? Do I have to delete them all and redownload them? I'm not even sure that will work. Do I go to Verizon and ask if they can fix it? Any suggestions?

There seems to be a problem with that file. See the blue box in #C3 of [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
Note that the /private folder is normally hidden, so you'll need to click the +Show inisible items+ box.

Can I do a full system restore of a 10.5 system by booting on a 10.6 CD?

Dear all,
I am trying to support my parents whos MacBook just failed (harddisk dead). They have now gotten a new harddisk installed and wants to restore the setup from their TimeCapsule.
I would prefer to do a full system restore, so that it gets back to exatly how they had it before. A 'user only' setup would require them to reinstall all third party apps including MS Office etc., which will be tricky for them.
Few questions:
1. Does a 'full system restore' restore everything, including applications and system files? Will it be going back to an exact clone of what they had?
2. They ran a Mac OS 10.5.x system, but cannot find their installation CD. Can I lend them my Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) CD to boot, while still restoring their 10.5.x system? (I don't want them to have 10.6 as I am not sure about compability with all their 3rd party software/drivers etc.)
3. Any other things I should keep in mind for a successful restore?
Thanks,
Magnus

No. Well, you can do the restore, but it won't boot.
You need a Leopard disc. It can be the original that came with their Mac, or a Retail (black) version, and it doesn't matter what version of Leopard it is, since you don't load OSX but only use the Installer utility. Thus borrowing one doesn't violate the license.
They really should have a Leopard disc, not only to do a restore, but also if they need to do a +*Repair Disk+* on the internal HD. And they would need the original disc, for the Apple Hardware Test on it; AppleCare will send them a replacement for a nominal fee.
3. Any other things I should keep in mind for a successful restore?
Yes. See #14 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum, for detailed instructions. Note the caution there, under the green box, about turning TM off immediately after the restore.

How can one do a full system restore from Time Machine to a Macbook Air

I recently had a major crash on my two internal disc DualG5. The system internal disk failed completely and I used Time Machine to do a full system restore to the second internal disc. It worked PERFECTLY!! I followed the instructions in support
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/15638.html
This involved inserting the Leopard DVD into the optical drive and backing up from my external LaCie time machine backup.
I also have a MacBook Air. I use an external USB HD drive as Time Machine backup. The Air only has one USB port. I have an external DVD drive for the Air. Clearly, I will not be able to mount the DVD and External disk at the same time unless I use a small hub. I guess this will work but is there any other work around. Could I do a full reinstall and then connect the external HD?

Richard,
Alternatively, you could use Remote Disc Sharing (via the DualG5) to do the install and reserve the USB port for the Time Machine disk.

[solved] After a full-system upgrade (Linux 3.15.8) = Wifi undetected

Hi, following this post, I'm seeking help concerning a big problem with my wifi.
In fact, it has been a few months since my wifi interface isn't recognized anymore. Yesterday, after a few tests, I found it was due to the kernel version, so I tried to reinstall my first ArchLinux (Linux 3.13.5-1-ARCH) : it worked, my wifi was back. The problem was that I couldn't reinstall all my stuffs : so I did a full-system upgrade (knowing I will lose my wifi) and now I just want to fix it once and for all (I'm done dealing with it).
So now, your help would be very appreciated. Does anyone have an idead? Or need more details about my config, my laptop, or whatever?

When I do a

this is what I obtain :

I started reading this page but am not sure if it is relevant due to the fact it concerns the 3.8.2B version.
Finally, a
more /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
gives me the following output :
^C[nugetchar@arch ~]$ more /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
alias floppy off
blacklist fd0
blacklist floppy
blacklist ipv6
blacklist bcma
blacklist pcspkr
blacklist snd_pcsp
I think I need to unblacklist bcma ?
@ewaller : I just saw you reply, here is the output for ls /lib/modules

Thank you for your answers, I really appreciate it

If I update from 10.6.8 to Mavericks and I have a time machine backup, can I do a full restore back to 10.6.8 and resume as if I had never updated?

If I update from 10.6.8 to Mavericks and I have a time machine backup, can I do a full restore back to 10.6.8 and resume as if I had never updated if there is a problem? Probably an answer I should know but I don't. Thanks in advance! (instruction suggestions welcomed)

Upgrading the OS is a system wide thing. So all users will receive the upgrade.
It should not delete files and such. However, if you have for example files made with Pages '09. Then the new Pages that comes with Mavericks will make a copy of those files so you can continue to edit them. But those new files can not be opened in Pages '09. BUT again, some people perfer Pages '09 and they use that still. Mavericks will just hide Pages '09, it's still usable in Mavericks just hidden.
To be safe, make a back up of your system before doing any major upgrade.

Unable to boot after Time Machine full system restore!!

I was having some serious slowdowns with my computer. I did multiple RAM and HD hardware tests, everything seemed to be working fine. I had recently deleted a bunch of files in order to free up some HD space, so I thought that may be the culprit. So I did a Time Machine backup and restored the Powerbook to it's original 10.3 software. All was fine. Then I upgraded back to 10.5 and all was fine. Then I did a Time Machine full system restore overnight and got the message "Your restore was successful, you must now restart your computer" (or something to that effect). Now I get the start-up chime and startup screen (apple logo) but then the computer shuts itself down. I have reset the PMU and PRAM to no effect. I have tried booting up in safe made, also no dice. I have tried starting it up with the time machine HD attached - doesn't help. I guess I'll need to hit the genius bar but wanted to ask the friendly discussion forum folks first. thanks in advance.

Hi coldengray
Did you try to start from your System-CD? Hold down C-key during startup, start DiskUtility from the menu and verify/repair disk and permissions there.
If the CD is not available you can also connect your TimeMachine-Disk, select it as startup volume in System Preferences/StartupDisk, restart and then run DiskUtility from folder Applications/Utilities
Good luck P

Did you sort it? Same thing happened to me and I am having to do another 8 hour restore!

Latency leads to full system Failure in Exchange 2010 - Resolved in 2013?

My work encountered a bug - and for no lack of trying - I could not find any bug submission for Ex2010 anymore. Since Most programming relies on the foundation of the past - if replication service was implemented the same in 2013 than it could leave
to a full system failure.
The issue is something happened in REPLICATION service in such a fashion that it accepted a connection, and in the programming it set a variable to a LARGE NUMBER (fail closed) to replace for "Copy Queue
length" in the ball park of 922 quadrillion.
The service never updates this value because of its quasi-state and some timeout occurs and now the GOOD servers think their copy is ludicrously behind. This causes the GOOD servers to attempt to fail-over - as they believe their copy from the BAD
server has failed or perhaps another check fails...
[6 DAG pieces on 3 servers, 4 pieces per server]
In my scenario Server 3 holds:
1 part of server 2 <= Tells server 2 you're bad - don't fail over
1 part of server 1. <= Tells server 1 you're bad - don't fail over
2 parts its own <= "good" - though dead replication service
As I do not know if this exploitable by simply placing a listener in place of replication service to accept and do not respond to connections - I do not know. However, there is a "bug" or flaw in my opinion to allow 1 bad server to superceed
two good servers based on a partial service crash. Simply stopping replication service on Server 3 allowed Server 1 / 2 to take over with out issue - I then restarted replication service and no issue since.
Since i wasted an hour looking where to submit this - this forum will hopefully do - I am very much a white hat - but I am dislike the non-simple way before me to disclose said information to the creator. I want my hour back for their non-intuitive
process, or maybe the simply don't care about Exchange 2010.
- Dan

Please note "LATENCY" in my topic is not network but inter-process on a single host, and is used as saying a timeout occurs without value.
