How to create backup Folder Index (or directory ?)

Okay, I've searched a lot of the Forums and haven't found an answer to this question. Does anyone know if there is a way (or a piece of software) to essentially make a folder from a Hard drive (be it internal or external) that has all of the information on folders and data within it, but that isn't actually the data?
Meaning, short of taking photos of the desktop, or cutting and pasting text into Text Editor, is there a way to make a list of everything that's on a drive - but have it only be a list? Something e-mailable, or savable as a way to know what's on a drive, say if it crashed and there's no way to view the original drive again?
In the past, I've taken photos of drive directories via the desktop, but this is clumsy and imprecise. And I can't tell you how many hard drives I've had fail with me going "what was on that again?"
Any advice would be really appreciated.

You could use Terminal and then use the unix command:
ls -Rl
(The 'l' is lower case L in each case)
What that does is recursively list the contents of each folder and subfolder encountered from the folder you are currently in. You can then cut and paste that from the Terminal buffer into a text file.
Alternatively you could issue the command
ls -Rl > listing.txt
which will redirect the output into a text file named listing.txt
You can then view that file from within Finder.

How to: Create a folder directly under the KM content 'Root' directory

I need to create a new folder directly under the 'root' directory of the KM content...
If I go to the KM root directory and click on any of the folders in it, I can create new folders.
For example: clicking on the 'documents' folder. Opening it, I can create new folders by clicking on 'Folder' --> 'New' --> 'Folder'.
However, when I am in the root directory itself, the only option under 'Folder' is 'Clipboard'.
How can I create a new folder under the Root? Am I missing a role?
Cheers,
Edwin.

You cannot create a folder under root directory
all the folders that you are seeing under root are KM Repositories.
You need to create a repository and then in that you can create a folder structure.
As an example Documetns is a standard SAP KM repository. You can also create your own repository under
system admin-> system configuraiton->KM->CM-> Repository Managers
There you can get options of creating the repositories
Hope it is clear

How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!
I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

Time Machine "could not create backup folder" error

I recently changed to a new Time Machine drive (external LaCie Porsche 1TB) connected via USB to my early 2009 iMac running Lion. I set up the drive with a single GUID partition, MacOS Extended (Journaled ) format, and copied my old Time Machine backups over from an older drive via the disk utility restore function. The disk worked fine for a while, then after several backups I get recurring Time machine errors that tell me it cannot create a backup folder. When I run Disk Utility to repair (after turning off Time Machine), it cannot unmount the disk. After a force eject (required because I am told the disk is in use when trying to eject after a Time machine fail), the disk mounts, no problems are found by disk utility, and Time Machine works for awhile. Then more of the same "cannot create backup folder" error. The backups work fine a few times, whether the iMac is put to sleep or not, then the error occurs again. Any suggestions on how to make this work without error and without constantly unmounting/remounting the disk? I had previously used a different, smaller LaCie drive via firewire 800 without any problems ever.
Thanks

I have been wrestling with the same problem for a few weeks.
I eventially solved the problem after determining that the problem is not in the Time Machine program.
It does not seem to exist in Snow Leopard but in Lion and Mountain Lion.
I have several drives on my system: firewire and USB 3.
I observed that one or more of my USB 3 drives become read only after some time even when the Time Machine is off. Firewire and USB flash drives are allright.
I am now running all three USB 3 drives off a Targus USB 3 hub. I got mine from Office Depot.
The power supply for this hub is rated at 4 amperes. Maybe the USB 3 drives need more power.
Some other steps I went through may be of interest:
I updated the firmware on my Wester Digital 1TB drive for the Mac form downloads fron WD sites. I also downloaded the WD Smartware.
However, I found an article that recommended partitioning the drive as journaled case sensitive.
Prior to doing this, the Time Machine would sometimes backup as much as 40 GB even when nothing had been added to my computer. Now backups without activity by me add only a few megabytes.
I noticed that under system profile beginning with 10.7 that the drive storage is shown by category with the sizes listed. This goes on in background all the time. It is possible he USB 2 ports and hubs may not be able to handle this activity.
I have had my computer, a late 2007 iMac with 4 GB of ram, checked by Apple.
This worked for me,

HT3275 I continue to get the following error message: Unable to complete back up.an error occurred while creating backup folder. It's a brand new drive. When I attempt to repair it using disk utility I get:unable to repair disk cannot unmounted

I have been trying to use time machine on a new lacie 2tb usb 2 drive for back up. I continue to get: "unable to complete backup.An error occured while creating backup folder". When I use disk utility to repair I get another error message: unable to repair disk unmountable.
Help me Obie One Canobie you are my last hope

I have confused myself with the facts! Started out keeping track of every step and every variable but have sort of lost it as we progress here. First I quit all applications then swapped connections between mouse port and backup disk port to influence possible bad connections question. Changed power outlet receptacle for the backup disk. Disabled the put-the-HD-to-sleep option. Then powered down the computerator.
Next started up computerator. Turned Time Machine ON and experienced multiple successful backups! Then I started up a few applications, Mail and Text Edit (but not Safari so far). Had a few more successes. After each backup, I used Disk Utility to verify the backup disk is still OK. This because the error about unable to unmount the backup disk seems to go hand in hand with Disk Utility finding the backup disk to be bad.
Put computer to sleep for the night. Upon starting up in the morning, and before doing anything else, I did a backup disk verification... BAD! Did a restart and verified the backup disk... OK.
Did a few Sleep-bad, Restart -OK repetitions.
It seems consistent: Sleeping the computer apparently messes up the backup disk but doing a Restart "repairs" it.
=============================
Now then, I don't understand everything I know here. Methinks that maybe keeping the HD from sleeping during lulls in activity has allowed successful backups through the day but manually putting everything to sleep for the night causes a return to the problem of spinning-back-up-too-slowly (which was explained earlier). Is there any truth in this?
I may abandon this Seagate thing for something more compatible. What's out there that we know works reliably for us?
