HT201250 Is there a way to back up only one folder (with a lot of sub folders) in time machine?

Is there a way to back up only one folder (with a lot of sub folders)

Then I recomend against using Time Machine.
I suggest you check out Carbon Copy Cloner instead.
Personally I see that as a false economy to not back up everything.

  • Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original?

    Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original?  The cut and paste function is not available and there's no "move to" function.  Am I missing something?  It was so easy with Windows.

    Drag the files, or press Option when pasting them; this accesses the Move To function.

  • Is there a way to back up only my home calendar and not my work calendar

    I do not want personally identifiable health information from my work calendar to be backed up to iCloud, but would like to back up my home calendar, so my wife can see when our kids' dentist appointments are. Is there a way to back up only selected calendars?

    IIf your work calendar is being synced from an external provider such as an exchange account, Google, Yahoo, etc., it wont be added to iCloud when you enable iCloud calendar syncing.  On locally stored (On My iPhone) calendars on your phone will be uploaded to iCloud.

  • Is there a way to restore a session other than the previous session using files saved by Time Machine (in Mac OS X)?

    I'd prefer not to have to restore my entire system. But I don't know the name of file that Firefox looks at when it attempts to restore the previous session.
    I had a few dozen open windows for a number of months before browser problems caused Firefox to lose track of all the URLs; I'd like to open Firefox in such a way that it opens all those windows, so that I can jot down the URLs.
    I routinely back up my system once a week.

    Check and tell if its working.

  • Is  there a way to sync my itunes music folder with my itunes library?

    Hey, I have itunes set to add music that I drag and drop into it a folder and its been set like this for a long time.  Then I would do whatever edits to the albums info if needed.  But now I realized that my folders don't snyc with the itunes libary.
    I was wondering if there was a way update the folder the way I have my music in itunes.

    If the files are stored inside the iTunes media folder, and the option under Edit > Preferences > Advanced to Keep iTunes Media folder organized is enabled then files and folders should be renamed to reflect changes you make to the tags.

    Thanks Chris   The phone has been great until this morning.  When using the camera it seemed to shut down, then it was just looping the restart, and finally into recovery   It never rains but pours   Thanks anyway
    BTW, the phone has never been jailbroken or anything.  Stock standard

  • I have an old MacBook (Mac OSX 10.5.8) with iPhoto '08.  Is there any way to back up not only the photos, but the way I have organized them into events and labeled them?

    I have an old MacBook (Mac OSX 10.5.8) with iPhoto '08.  Is there any way to back up not only the photos, but the way I have organized them into events and labeled them?

    Yes. Back up the Library.
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • Is there a way to back up a step or undo a step in Camera Raw, like you can do when you are in PS with history?

    While in camera raw, editing a photo, is there a way to back up a step or undo a step like you can do when you are in PS with history?

    johnh316, There is no so called Backup step. However, you can undo the changes using Ctrl+Z.
    Else, suggestions given by JJMack are worth following.
    Since you are using Camera Raw, you can anytime revert back to the default state by going choosing "Camera Raw Defaults" from the Options Menu.

    Your own movies are backed up in the camera roll wich is backed up to iCloud. You should be able to restore the movies if something were to happen to them if you use iCloud for your backups. You would have to purchase more storage from iCloud, but the videos will be backed up
    You get 5GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones

  • Is there a way to back up my contacts to a SD card on my Casio G'Zone Boulder?

    The Data/charging port is shot (it's broken loose). I want my contacts, is there a way to back them up to a SD card? If not, is there a way to directly transfer them to a new phone (G'Zone Ravine) via bluetooth? Even to a computer via Bluetooth?

    I've found that with 2 bluetooth enabled devices it's actually really simple to transfer from phone - phone VIA bluetooth. When you connect the phones to each other with blue tooth, you should be able to (on most phones) go into the blue tooth menu and send over the contacts via the bluetooth menu. While connected you should also see the transfer VIA bluetooth option in your actual contacts menu as well.
