How can I backup individual folders and not the whole disk?

Hi Folks,
I want to only backup specified folders with TM, just my iPhoto Library and some bits n pieces but notice it only gives the option to backup or exclude whole hard discs.
Does anyone know a workaround for this?
Thanks

In the TM preferences you would need to exclude all the files and folder you didn't want to back up.

  • I have an external hard drive that is partitioned three ways. I have made an install disk out of one partition. How can I use this partition, and not the whole drive with bootcamp assistant?

    See title.
    When the drive is plugged in, boot camp assistant says that no installer can be found, but the application doesn't list the three separate partitions like finder/disk util does.
    I am using a mid-'12 retina mac running os X 10.9
    Hopefully this is an easy fix.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    I have just experienced the same thing!
    Although my external drive shows in Disk Utility, it does not show in Finder.
    And the Verify/Repair buttons are also greyed out.
    Also, although the drive is 2TB. DU shows it as having Total Capacity of only 4.14GB! (Which should be the Free Space).
    I was wondering if you solved your problem, & if so, would you share your solution.
    I´m afraid to Erase in case I lose all my Data on the drive.
    Thanks in advance for your reply!

  • HT1284 How can I backup word documents and not have them crowd my screen? Thanks.

    Hi. How can I backup word documents and not have them crowd my screen? I know, you guessed it. I'm a novice, but not ashamed!

    Please explain what you mean when you say backup Word documents crowds your screen.
    I don't see any connection between backup and your screen.

  • How can I display date+time and not the point number in excell?

    Hi everyone,
    Could anybody tell me how I can save date + time to a file, so that  I can display on a diagram(excel) : date+time in (ox) and data (oy)? :
    My program sets in (ox) the point number and not the date+time....( although  date and time are written correctly in the column...)
    Any help would be great,
    Thanks,
    regards,
    Marc

    hi there,
    excel uses 01.01.1900 00:00 as the time offset, LabVIEW uses 01.01.1904 02:00, so you can't display the correct datetime in excel when you write the time as a fractional number of seconds from LabVIEW. you must format the datetime in LabVIEW to a string and write that to the column. use the "Format Date/Time String" - function and for example "%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S%3u" as the format string (see the functions help for more examples). you also could format your data to a string using "Format Into String" - function and write the file as a 2D string array. the decimal point you have to use depends on your system and its settings, but you can specify the decimal point in the Format string like "%.;%f" (means fractional number with point as decimal point).
    best regards

  • How do you select n rows and not the whole table

    Hi
    I would like to only select the first 50 rows from a table and not the entire table. how do i accomplish this
    Thanks

    Sayeed's example will work great if you don't care which 50 rows you get back. If you do, you can use an inline view to sort them first and get back a ranked result set:
    select *
      from (select whatever
            from table
           order by key desc
    where rownum <= 50

  • Mail: how to download ONLY last emails and not the whole hotmail.

    Hi!
    Quick question: like what Mail does in iPhones/iPads, how can I configure Mail in my iMac or Macbook Pro so that it only downloads the last, say 50 emails and not the 4000 aprox. emails I have inside the hotmail (now outlook) server?
    I have been wanting to use mail for a long time but I can't seem to find that option. I only want to see the LAST EMAILS like what happens in the app on my iPhone.
    Thanks.

    unless there is a special setting in yahoo webmail interface that allows this (gmail pop has it for example), there is no way to do it. POP will download all available messages on the first download. that's how POP works. from there on it will only download new ones.

  • How can I get regular Firefox and not the "Yahoo" version?

    I want firefox, but I don't like the version where I always have the yahoo search page and it won't let me set my own home page.

    It is because you might have downloaded the optimised version of Mozilla Firefox made for Yahoo!
    Do a fresh reinstallation of Mozilla firefox's appropriate version.
    You can download it from here: Firefox 21.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    And yes if you have an add-on of Yahoo search toolbar then you can disable it from the firefox installation toolbars.
    Remember do not download the optimised version made for yahoo. As it will only have that yahoo search home page!
    Thank You!

  • When downloading, all screens are lists except last. It is a dropdown menu. How can I see all options and not the dropdown?

    My computer just crashed. On the new machine, as well as my laptop, when I save a file, I see icons on all screens except the last. The last option is a drop down menu and if my choice is more than 6 or so choices down, I have to scroll down. On the previous desktop, I saw icons listing the final choices.

    HA!  I figured the find my iphone out!!!!! You can have more than one icloud account in "Mail, Contacts and Calendars".  So my husband's & kids' phone icloud account under "settings, icloud "is their individual @me.com account.  Set it to everything you want EXCEPT Find My Iphone.  Then under "settings, mail/contacts/calendars" you set up both accounts (your @me.com which may already be there), then add another with the main appleID and enable ONLY Find My Iphone.  Now when any of us log into Find My Iphone from any device with our main apple ID for the app store, all the devices show up!!!! YIPPEE.  I made my own day!
    I think the message I got previously was because I hadn't disabled the find my iphone on the @me.com account first.

  • How can I play a playlist and not the entire library on my shuffle?

    I can't seem to organize songs into playlists and then play only the songs in the playlist -

    There is if you play music from your computer (mine is connected via AirTunes to several stereo systems) or if you later get a Nano, or iPod with Video or an iPhone that does support playlists.
    You can also use them to load songs on your Shuffle. For example, say you are going on a long exercise walk and you want many motivational songs with increasingly faster tempos. You could create a playlist on your computer, put the songs in it that you want, in the order you want, call it Long Walk, and then when your Shuffle is connected choose to Autofill from the playlist Long Walk

  • How do you add full folders and not just individual files in the new itunes?

    How do you add full folders and not just individual files in new itunes? i just reformatted my HD and went to add all my music and it's only letting me add files not folders!?!?

    "Add Folder to Library" is still in the file menu, but you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the file menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:

  • How can I change one section of the document to a landscape orientation and not the whole document?

    How can I change one section of the document to a landscape orientation and not the whole document?

    Page Setup, including page orientation, is done in the File menu. The setting applies to the whole document. As Peter says, you can rotate the contents of a page (not including the text layer of a word processing document).
    As an alternative, you could use Numbers, where Sheets are empty canvases onto which you may place images, charts, tables and text boxes, and where page orientation may be set for individual Sheets. The main tradeoff is that you lose many of the built-in word processing and page layout features of Pages.

    You can't reformat it and not wipe everything on it.
    Have you tried a different USB port?
    Only other option, back it up on a different computer.
