How do you perform full backup after disk change?

My backup disk crashed yesterday so I bought a new one today. I connected the drive and told Time Machine to change the disk to the new one. It performed an incremental backup. Does anyone know how I force a full backup onto the new drive? Thanks

It was very small. However, I went out for a half-hour and when I came back, Time Machine is now doing a full backup (small status bar shows that it will backup 175GB). Thanks for your help.

  • Time machine full backup after disk and disk permissions repair

    my macbook would not boot so i inserted the snow leopard DVD and did a disk repair and disk permissions repair, after that it booted perfectly but when it went to do a backup it did a full backup of 149GB , i am unsure why it has done this and would like to know how to stop it as i am trying to save space on my time capsule.
    thank you in advance

    I'm afraid you don't have much choice. You do have lot of space available, though.
    Node requires deep traversal:/ reason:must scan subdirs|new event db|
    No pre-backup thinning needed: 165.92 GB requested (including padding), 507.60 GB available
    The "deep traversal" means TM compared everything on your system to the backups, and estimates that about 138 GB is new/changed (it adds 20% for workspace on the TM disk - the "padding" in the message).
    If there's about 138 GB on your system, see #D3 in [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), for some common reasons for TM to do a new full backup.
    If there's more, #D4 there has some common reasons for large backups.
    If all you did was repair disk and permissions, neither should have resulted.
    the reason i did a permission repair and disk repair while running from the install disk was because my laptop would not boot from the internal disk so i did both just to be safe.
    That's fine; just do the Permissions Repair again, while running normally.

  • Time Machine Full backup after disk move

    I have followed the instructions for moving my Time Machine backup to a new disk as per instructions here.  However, once I have completed the copy to the new disk, the first time that time machine runs, it seems to be do a full new backup and therefore there is not enough room on the new disk. 
    I get the following error: Time Machine could not complete the backup.  This backup is too large for the backup disk.
    Please help, this is driving me nuts.
    Thanks,
    Ian.

    Peeps, I am so sorry, I am such an idiot, I have just realise what I have done wrong!!!
    Whilst trying to build my new drive (part of which is to be my new Time Machine backup) I created a 500gb backup in my local Documents folder - this is why my initial Time Machine backup was so large, not because Time Machine was trying to do a full backup!!!
    Thanks for looking,
    Ian.

  • Insufficient disk space to perform full backup

    Hi to all
    i'm trying to backup my acs 5.2 "backup acs repository repository  application acs" but acs gives me a critical error.
    % Creating backup with timestamped filename: acs-121022-1431.tar.gpg

    how do i lower the data witdow in ACS view?
    thanks in adv

    Hi
    the problem is solved now, i've openned a TAC and the cisco Guy told me how to solve it.
    in summary you need to have root access to ACS and then erase de acsview database and put a clean one.
    my acsview db has grown to 175GB., this was caused by  the misconfiguration of acsview database doesn't being backuped and the  purgin was, in this case, not being also done.
    so Brian if you hav e the same problem then you need to open a TAC case.
    Thanks

  • How do you perform a full system restore for the hp officejet 6500

    Basically, after having this printer for 1 year, the wireless printing started to not work correctly. After buying a laptop and trying to configure the printer with it, the printer started to have problems with wireless printing. So how do you perform a FULL factory reset? I already tried hitting #9 while the printer was turning on but it only seemed to partially reset the system. It did not turn it back to the day i bought the printer.

    OK, so it turns out it was the 'only show synced content' tick box.
    Wow, how embarrassed do I feel now? I never even paid any attention to that tick box all these years.
    Interestingly, over the last couple of days I had my ATV at v1.1 again, and happily deleted all my content (except for 1 album which I deliberately left on). A few days went past, and I checked daily - and there was only ever the 1 album.
    I then upgraded to ATV v3.0.1 again today and that's when my problems came back - all my content magically reappeared on the Apple TV (or so I thought).
    I'm thinking maybe that the 'only show synced content' is a recent 3.0 feature? And if so, maybe that's why I never noticed it before and that's why it was confusing me? Or maybe it's been there all these years (in which case I'll carry on being embarrassed).
    Anyway, a huge thanks to everyone who responded.

  • How to restore using increment backup after full backup restore in RMAN?

    Hi All,
    We have a files of full backup of database after turning on the Archive log.
    And after that, daily incremental backup is taken.
    Now, i want to restore the the database into a new machine using both files of full and incremental backups. Can anybody give me script for restore of full backup and after that restore of incremental backup?
    Thanks,
    Praveen.

    Praveen,
    >>
    In my case, i have 2 sets of backups. One is full backup and other is incremental backup. In order to keep the restored database upto date, i need to restore the full backup and then restore incremental backup. Now, i got any idea how to restore using full backup. My doubt is how to update the restored database with incremental backup also?
    >>
    Restore always looks for level 0 backup, not the incremental backups.
    Incremental backups comes in picture during recovery.
    During Recovery, Oracle looks for incremental backups, if exists, it will do the recovery with the incremental backups, if no incremental backups available, then, it will look for archived logs.
    Therefore, incremental backups never used during restore, they are used only during the recovery.

    Hi,
    It seems one of your physical archive file is not there...
    but to explore more first paste your backup command that you are using.

  • HT1175 How do you back up additional hard disks to time capsule? Which disks etc. to you choose?

    How do you back up additional hard disks to time capsule? Which disks etc. to you choose?

    I can read your question a number of ways.
    If you mean a disk plugged into your computer you wish to include in Time Machine backup.. just make sure it is HFS+ formatted and remove it from the exclusion list in the TM preferences.
    If you mean a disk plugged into your TC for backup,
    You can plug a USB disk into a Time Capsule as long as it is compatible.. and the disk is formatted HFS+, ie Mac OS extended Journaled.
    You need a USB powered hub if you want to use multiple hard disks and even one might still need a hub.
    Not all external drives are recogised but for example the Touro Deskpro works fine.
    You can buy them up to 4TB.. how much added space do you want.
    Also notice that USB 2 on a TC or AE is slow.. I mean half the speed of the same disk plugged into your computer so consider if speed is relevant to you.
    You cannot use TM to backup network disks.. again I am not 100% sure what the question means.

  • How do you restore previous backup from iTunes to iPhone?

    How do you restore previous backup from iTunes to iPhone?  I did something wrong as now nothing is on my phone but several questions such as language, etc. They keep repeating.  When I turn phone completely off, the same thing happens when I turn it on.  It is very frustrating now to have no phone service or anything at all on my phone.

    It sounds as if the phone is waiting to be activated. Did you update software or something like that on the phone? You can either try to finish the Setup routine, or you can connect the device to iTunes on the computer and then after selecting the iPhone in the device pane, click on the button that says Restore a Backup.

    how to restore iphon-without backup, after it synchronization from ipod

    Thanks Eric,
    After inserting the original DVD I installed OSX and after reboot I had a working computer.
    There was no opportunity to restore the TM backup. however when I rebooted from the
    DVD again I saw that possibility from a menu of the install utility.
    I ran through the restore over night (8 hours) and when I woke up, I had my computer back!
    Thanks for helping me out.
    Cheers, Rob

  • How do you eliminate older backups from Time Capsule?

    How do you eliminate older backup copies from a older model of time capsule?

    How do you eliminate older backup copies from a older model of time capsule?
    You shouldn't have to.  Time Machine will delete them automatically when it needs room for new ones.  If you're running Leopard, though, and have the Warn when old backups are deleted box checked in Time Machine Preferences > Options, it won't.  Just remove the check and run a backup.
    If you have other data on the TC's internal HD, that's going to cause trouble sooner or later.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for some possible workarounds.
    If you still want to delete individual backups, or all backups of selected items, do not use the Finder.  See #12 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions, and note the pink box there.
