How I make TM use an existing backup set?

I had to get my MBP serviced due to the graphics chip recall. When it came back TM stopped backing me up. I turned it back on and it wants to create a new backup. It uses the same name for the backup but calls it #2 (e.g. My Laptop #2).
How can I force TM to use the existing backup? It goes back to March and I don't want to lose them. It wont let me copy the backups into the new folder either. Says I don't have permission. I've added myself to the permissions for the folder but no go.
Thanks in advance.

*_Full Backup After Hardware Change_*
Actually, this is normal. Anytime your hardware has been repaired, replaced, Time Machine will perform a new full backup and you will not be able to resume backing up with the same history as the previous backups. Time Machine will resume incremental backups after the full backup has completed.
To view previous backups, Control-click or right-click the Time Machine icon in your Dock or Option-click the Time Machine menu and choose "Browse Other Time Machine Disks," then select your previous backup volume. You will enter Time Machine and be able to browse your previous back ups and restore files.
While there may be ways to fool/hack Time Machine into recognizing previous backups without performing another full backup, they are rather elaborate, and for the average user are simply not worth it. Ultimately, in a couple of months, all the effort to preserve old backups may seem pointless. After all, Time Machine will eventually purge away that data anyways as it replaces it with new files.
It may simply be easier to begin a fresh series of backups while saving the previous backups until your satisfied that you have enough history built up. Then delete the old backups.
*Why Can’t I Resume Backups?*
You see, Time Machine was designed to restore your Macs’ immediate environment in case of system crashes or accidental deletion of user files. As a result, getting a new Mac, or changing your existing hardware requires a fresh set of backups since older backups would not accurately represent the current state of your Mac.
Furthermore, maintaining backups that were started with an older Mac, introduces the possibility of restoring system files that were never intended for the new Mac.
Finally, if backups were NOT linked to a specific Mac, imagine the confusion for Time Machine in households with multiple Macs backing up to the same Time Machine device. Backups from one Mac could unintentionally be added to the backup set of another Mac. In that event, any attempt at ‘restoring’ files/folders specific to that Mac would be impossible. As a result, each backup set must be unique for each Mac.
Fortunately, it appears that new full backups are not required after a user performs an “Archive and Install”, a “Restore System From Backup...”, or an “Erase and Install” with their Mac OS Leopard install DVD. At least this appears to be the case since the Mac OS 10.5.5 update. Nevertheless, even if Time Machine does continue using the existing backup set following these re-installation methods, then at the very least expect Time Machine to perform a "Deep Traversal" and possibly a very large incremental backup (many GBs) because of the massive differences in the FSEvents log.
If, however, a user chooses to perform a Full Restore back to a version of Mac OS X prior to 10.5.5, then Time Machine is likely to abandon the previous backup sets and perform a new full backup. [http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1338]
If you require long-term archival storage of files, however, then you need another backup strategy.
Hope this clarifies some things.
Cheers!

  • How to make TM start a NEW backup

    Since January and updating to 10.5.6 (not sure if that had anything to do with it), my iMac had been freezing up and required me to manually power off and on, at first a few times a week, later increasing to several times a day. I suspected a HD failure, but no hardware tests or SMART status tests indicated so. Since February, Time Machine has been doing backup. A couple of weeks ago I finally had time to do a reformat of the iMac HD and did a full reinstall and updated directly to 10.5.7. Since then I have had no freezing issues.
    But. I now have the TM backup from February till mid-May on my external HD. I would like to keep it as it is, all 200Gb worth, and have TM start a totally fresh backup in a new folder.
    After reading pages of information about TM, it seemed people have had trouble doing the opposite, i.e. make TM use build onto the backup which was already there. So I figured TM would do what I hoped; make a new folder in the Backups.backupdb folder with the new computer name (I changed the name on purpose when reinstalling).
    I set up TM preferences to use the same disk as before, as there is still more than enough space. I was surprised to see what happened:
    - The backup folder name changed from the old "EX iMac" to the new installation's name "Exxx Xxxx's iMac".
    - A new dated folder (....inProgress) was created, but with the same date as the last backup made from the old installation a couple of weeks ago, rather than today's date.
    I cancelled the backup right awayas this wasn't what I was expecting, so the "folder" name is still "2009-05-16-124351.inProgress"
    - When I enter TM through the UI, the HD name has been changed for all the old backups (used to be "Macintosh HD", is now "Mac HD ny").
    So it seems that TM in its wisdom recognizes the iMac as its old self, and wants to continue building onto the old backups. This is exactly what I don't want... when space runs out on the external HD, I don't want the old backups to be pruned at all. I want to keep the old backup as-is, for future reference etc., and have TM start a full, fresh backup of my near-empty iMac, which it can do its incremental and space-saving thing with later on.
    Any ideas as to how I can persuade my computer into agreeing that this is a worthwhile concept?

    Just why do you want to prevent TM from deleting old backups? If it's because you've been deleting things from your internal HD, trusting TM to keep it's copies indefinitely, that's not a good idea.
    The reason is, TM's copies are no longer backups: now they're your originals. When (not if) your TM drive fails, you may lose all of them.
    Thank you for your input. As I wrote earlier, I have reformatted the internal HD and reinstalled a "blank" system. So yes, most files, documents etc. are now found only in the TM backup. One reason for not simply doing a full restore from the TM backup was to allow time to make sure the internal HD was not in fact failing, and being able to reintroduce things step by step in case the problem should materialize again.
    The whole point of wanting to keep the existing TM backup as-is is to make it be there "indefinitely". That doesn't mean I trust the external HD to keep it safe for all eternity, but as long as I am trusting it to back up my stuff, why not let it keep my old stuff as well? Although, admittedly, it is space consuming and the important stuff will be present in both the old and the new backup, once I get it running. Old backup > iMac > New backup. You should see how many papers I have in my shelves from years back

  • How to make an encrypted compressed RMAN backup and recovery

    Hallo!I am trying to make an RMAN backup that is compressed (definitely use compressed backup set in OEM).
    But my emphasis is to make the backup encrypted with a key (hoping to use Public Key Infrastructure )such that the database data can be sent via the network and the recepient can use a decryption key to decrypt the data.
    The recepient must also use a password to access the encrypted file for decryption.
    Is it possible to do this?If so please give the steps.
    Thanks.

    You can encrypt the backupset with RMAN Encrypted Backups, however Oracle Advanced Security Option (additional cost) is required.

    kind regards
    rajesh

    Hi,
    Customised extractors are called Generic extracters.
    Usage:
    1. When the standard extractors are not supporting the extraction what you need. If SAP does not have a standard extractor for your need to get data from R3, you would have to go for generic extractor.
    2. If you create a custom object say by combining certain base tables in R3 say custom tables ZTAB1 and ZTAB2. These two tables are not SAP provided tables and there will not be any standard extractors. So cases like this you will have to go for generic extractors.
    3. FI-SL requires generic extractors.
    How:
    You have to use RSO2 transaction and you can also set delta based on, one of the three characteristics such as timestamp, calday or pointer (a sequence no).
    once you create it and activate it. The extractor will be available in ROOSOURCE - (table in R3 where all the data sources are available).
    Steps
    Log on sap R/3.
    Step 1. create a table or view for generic extraction in se11.
    Step 2. Goto  t-code RSO2
    Step 3. Here u have to decide whether to extract transaction data or master data attributes or texts.
    Step 4. suppose if u have opted for transaction data,then give name in the column ex:ztd_m(data source name)
    Step 5. select create button,this will take u to another screen.
    Step 6. Here u have to decide from which application component u r extacting data.Ex: SD,MM,..
    Step 7. in this screen u have to fill short disciption,medium,long( these r mandatory).
    Step 8. then U have to Table name or view name which u have created in se11.
    Step 9. I f u want to maintain generic delta then u can select generic delta in top left hand side corner.
    Step 10. in next screen u have to give some field which is primary key.
    step 11. here u to specify whether time stamp or cal day or numeric pointer depending on u r requirement.
    step 12. then u have to specify  whether new status for changed records or additive delta.
            If u choose additive delta ,then u have to load data to infocube or ods object.
            If u choose new status for changed records, then u to load data  to ods object only.
    Step 13. then save it.
    Step 14. then logon to sap bw ,then replicate the data source then as usuall.

  • How to remove the older entries of backup sets in windows server

    Hi guyz, 
    we are using windows server backup feature.. and we are backing up files and folders to remote shared location.
    the problem that we are facing is that, we run this backup every day using a script to new folder (folder name=datemonthyear) , and after each 30 days we start deleting the oldest entry from the shared location
    so its similar to the retention days feature of the dpm.
    but the problem is that even though we delete the actual backed up folder from the shared location, its entry is still there and we can see that when we type Get-WBBackupSet
    can any one tell me how to delete this entry whenever we delete the folder...
    plz help me guyz.

    Hi,
    We can use "wbadmin delete systemstatebackup" command line to delete old versions. If the backup storage location is full, Windows Server Backup automatically deletes the oldest backup version and only the latest backup will be available.
    For more detailed information, please refer to the links below:
    Wbadmin delete systemstatebackup

  • VLAN on WAP (how do i make it use my existing ASA for DHCP requests?)

    Hey guys,
    I have a ASA 5520 and a subinterface created for my VLAN 54. However i set up the WAP, but it only seems to work if i actually hardset an IP address on the PC. How do i make it look at the firewall as the DHCP server. If i plug into an access port, it will automatically look at the firewall for DHCP, but not on wireless...
    Can you help?
    I want it to use the same ip addresses as the LAN is using.

    There should be no difference between connecting via an AP and access port.  Double-check your ip helper-address, but if access ports work then that should be fine.
    Can you post your AP config?  We should make sure there's nothing misconfigured on that.  Please also post your switchport config.

  • How to make Weather use my system language

    Hi all,
    My situation is kind of uncommon, but I would like to try to post here to see if anyone happens to know a solution. If I should not post this question (which is about sync between iPhone and Macbook) here, please let me know.
    Background:
    iPhone 6 plus (language is Chinese)
    Macbook Pro (language is English)
    The problem:
    If I add a new city in Weather on my iPhone in Chinese ( I had to add it using Chinese, btw), it shows as it is on my Mac. See picture below.
    I also noticed that I can add that city again on my Mac again, in English of course. See picture below.
    This happens in the other direction too. Adding a city on my mac in English, then it shows in English on my iPhone, and I can still add a Chinese version of that city.
    This is weird to me, because usually this should be designed as the same model with two different views (same thing in different languages), not two separated models.
    Please let me know if you know how Weather syncs data and/or how to solve this issue.
    === more: ===
    The behavior becomes even weirder if I add a city in one language on one device and then add the same city in another language on another device. Take the capital of France for example, I added '巴黎' (Paris in Chinese) on my iPhone (and it is synced to Mac), then I added 'Paris' on my Mac. To my surprise, the second entry shows as '巴黎' on my iPhone, not as 'Paris' (I now have two exactly same entries on my iPhone).
    And after I add another city on my iPhone, the second capital-of-France entry on my Mac becomes '巴黎' too. ( I think this is normal, as things are synced to another device when updated on one device).
    notes:
    - This also happens on the other direction.
    - This is not happening every time. Sometimes this bug shows up, sometimes not.
    - I found this behavior long ago. I'm pretty sure this is not only for the latest versions of iOS and Mac OS.

    Move the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> to the root of the other drive. Press and hold down shift as you launch iTunes and keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl where X:\ is the drive letter.
    You should also consider making a backup of your library to an external drive.
    iTunes will still want to store iOS backup data on the system drive unless you use the following process to relocate it.
    Moving the iOS device backup location
    Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up, or with Start > Run on older Windows.
    To move the current backup folder from C: to X: (for example) type in this command and press <Enter>
    Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "X:\Backup"
    Where <User> is your Windows user name.
    To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
    MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "X:\Backup"
    If your preferred drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "X:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
    If you have Windows XP then you'll need a third-party tool such as Junction to link the two locations together instead of the MkLink command. The source folder is C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

  • Oops-how to make full use of it?

    Hi guys my question is,
    I have used oops in abap mainly in alv, and for some other functions like downloading to an excel and stuff like that.
    But how do I harness the real power of oops. How can i make my day to day coding better by using say global classes and already existing objects.
    For example are there classes out there with methods to say calculate the accounts recievables? Get all the attributes of an inbound/outbound delivery. Get the details of a purchase order without me having to select from the PO headers and items and so forth. I have tried to study some standard code as well but I didnt get any hint from it.
    Can anyone throw some light on it?

  • I have an ipad 3/32GB..I need more storage and not sure how to make better use of icloud and release GB

    To add to my original question: I had a 1st generation ipad and 32GB was more than enough storage now I'm having trouble making movies, adding media, etc. I have bought another 15GB of storage on I cloud. Can I put all of my apps on i cloud?
    I'm going to be taking an overseas flight and wanted to rent a bunch of movies but I'm not sure how to do that.
    I would be grateful for any help
    sherrislp

    To answer your question, you could remove your apps and then download them again as needed. Your purchased apps are part of what is stored in iCloud and purchased apps do not count against the allotment anyway - As far as I know.
    You would want to backup to iCloud before you delete the apps. If it were me, I would also back up and sync with iTunes - I still use iTunes and I back up to both iCloud and iTunes.
    The suggestion that James made would be OK for bringing the movies with you on the trip .... But you need to be able to use WiFi in order to use the device and the way that I read your question, you want to download movies to watch on the flight. So that will not work on the airline flight. It would store the content for later viewing but won't work on the flight. That is my understanding of the GoFlex drive, but you would have to investigate it further.

  • How to restore machine using a TM backup on a usb hard drive from older imac to a brand new iMac?

    My imac (the one that had a superdrive in it), had a broken superdrive and was sent for repair. Whilst being "repaired" the screen was broken. I now have a brand new imac albeit without a dvd drive. My question is how to I restore my the old TM back up which had been made to an external usb hard drive to the new imac. Help files say that I should not restore from a TM file to a different machine and that I should use migration assistant. Whilst I can see the external usb drive in TM it is not being recognised in Migration assistant when I click on back up from a TM backup on another machine or disk.
    Any ideas?
    Just noticed that this new machine is running OSX 10.8.4  the broken imac was on mavericks

    This is very simple first run Software Update on the new machine and get your machine upgraded to the most recent version of Mountain Lion 10.8.5. Install all other software updates Apple recommends in Software Update. Then care fully read Pondini's guide on using Migration Assistant located at:
    http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html
    Your migrated data will be in a new account, to access it log into the new account.
    Also DO NOT repeat DO NOTuse Wi-Fi to migrate data, if your TM backup drive uses USB, then connect it via USB and follow the on-screen instructions as described in Pondini's guide.
