If I restore my entire system via Time Machine from my latest backup on my Time Capsule, will I still have access to my older backups as normally ("Star Wars" display)?

I'm talking about these:
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum Late 2008), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)
Time Capsule 4th Gen
Thankyou.

  • After formatting my HD and eventually restore my system from a backup on Time Capsule, will I still have access to my old backups as normally used to do via Time Machine?

    I have a Time Capsule (4th Gen) and my backups on it, I need to completely erase my hard drive. My question is: after formatting my MacBook HD and eventually restore my system (OS X 10.6.8) from a backup on Time Capsule, will I still have access to my old* backups as normally used to do via Time Machine?
    *(-and to the newer backups- if I had not restored my system from the last backup).
    THANKS

    That's a good question. Technically, Time Machine should make a new backup but not erase any old backups. But if there isn't sufficient space on the backup drive, then I'm not sure if Time Machine will simply warn you or just go ahead and remove old backups to make room for the new ones.
    In any case, the new backup should have a different backup folder on the backup drive. That's my understanding. You can learn more at pondini.org.

  • I'm thinking of backing up my ipod and then reseting it, but theres a really interesting game I have been plaing in it for a long time, If I backup my device then reset it then send the backup back to my iPod, will I still have the game data?

    I'm really afraid of tring to do this since i spent $20 dollars on game updates. So if I backup my ipod then reset it then send the backup back, will I still have the appdata? (By refering to this I don't mean the app itself, but the stuff inside the app) Thank you and I hope I get a quick answer.

    If you restore from backup your app date will also be restored to the time you made the backup. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup. If the apps are not in the iTunes library there is not place for the app data to go when you restore from backup.

  • I just had to restore my entire system. i cannot find some of the old files on time machine

    i only wanted to restore a few files that i had on my time machine backup.  the problem is that i cannot find those files when i pull up the time machine.  help, please.

    If they are truly old files that you deleted at some point in the past, then they may have been erased by Time Machine for more recent backups. In that case they would be gone.

  • I have a problem after upgarding the OS Yosemite and time machine. It says not enough space on external hard drive when I should write over older backups? thanks. late 2009 imac 3.06 8GBimac

    Q: Can I restore my Macs’ entire system, and how is Time Machine involved?
    A: Yes, you have several options, each involving increasing degrees of severity. In all cases Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) will be required as previous OS X versions do not work with Time Machine backups. Naturally, all of these methods will require a significant amount of time, so plan accordingly.
    *Archive & Install*
    An Archive and Install is the least invasive of the 3 methods. This approach results in a fresh copy of the Mac OS system software while at the same time preserving all current user accounts on your Mac. Additionally, this method will permit Time Machine to continue backing up to the same set of backups it did prior to the installation.
    Procedure:
    Verify that your Mac has uninterrupted AC power.
    Turn “OFF” Time Machine in the Preferences.
    Insert your original Mac OS 10.5 Leopard DVD and reboot while holding down the “C” key.
    At the “Welcome” screen click “Continue”.
    At “Select a Destination” choose your Macs’ hard disk.
    Click “Options” in the lower left.
    Choose “Archive and Install”.
    Ensure that “Preserve Users and Network Settings” is checked.
    Click “OK”.
    Back at the “Select a Destination” screen click “Continue”.
    At “Install Summary” click “Install”.
    Once the installation is complete, use Software Update to bring your Mac up to date.
    Next, Launch Disk Utility, select your Macs’ internal disk on the left, and click “Repair Disk Permissions”.
    During this initial period, Spotlight is going to re-index your Mac’ hard disk. This can take up to several of hours depending upon the volume of data. Allow it to complete before resuming Time Machine backups. You can monitor its’ progress by clicking on the Spotlight icon in the menu bar.
    During the installation a new folder was created at the root level of your hard disk labeled “Previous Systems”. These are all the system files that were just replaced with fresh copies. If you are comfortable, you can delete this folder right away. Otherwise, wait a week or so incase there is something you wish to retrieve, then delete it.
    Finally, turn Time Machine back “ON” in the Preferences. Time Machine should continue to backup to the same set of backups that it did prior to the Archive & Install. However, due to the extensive changes to the systems’ directories, the first backup will require a lengthy session of “Preparing...” as Time Machine performs a “deep traversal”. Allow this to proceed uninterrupted. Naturally, this first backup may be a significant one, perhaps involving several GB of data, so attempting this wirelessly will require time and patience.
    *”Restore System From Backup...”*
    If however, your system has experienced a serious malfunction, or a Mac OS software update has produced undesirable behavior, you can perform a full system restore from your Time Machine backups. This will result in a system virtually identical to the OS environment that existed on the date of the backup you choose to restore from. All system software, applications, and user accounts will be replaced with copies as they existed when that backup took place. The advantage here is that, generally, no further installation of 3rd-party software is required and all of your personal & system settings a preserved. The disadvantage is that because you retain your personal settings and system files, you run the risk of reintroducing any problems you experienced with the previous installation, including issues that necessitated the full restore in the first place.
    Naturally, the time and date you choose to restore from can make a significant difference in the state of your resulting OS environment. Choosing the most recent date from which to restore is most desirable. If, however, one or more Time Machine backups occurred after you began experiencing issues with your system, then going farther back in time to restore from will be more advantageous. Files created or modified after you began experiencing system issues may later be recovered via Time Machines’ “time travel” interface (“Browse other Time Machine disk...”).
    Unfortunately, restoring your system by this means will result in Time Machine abandoning previous backup sets and beginning a new set. So verify ahead of time that you have enough space on your backup drive for another full backup. Alternatively, once the full restore is complete, you can delete the old backups to free space on the drive. Or you can begin backups on a different hard disk while retaining the older backups until you are satisfied that the current set have accumulated enough history.
    Procedure:
    Verify that your Mac has uninterrupted AC power.
    For faster installation, Time Capsule/AirDisk users should connect their Macs directly to their Airport device via ethernet.
    Insert your original Mac OS 10.5 Leopard DVD and reboot while holding down the “C” key.
    At the “Welcome” screen go up to the “Utilities” menu and select “Restore System From Backup…”.
    The “Restore Your System” window reminds you that this procedure will erase all data on your Macs internal hard disk. Click “Continue”.
    At “Select a Backup Source” choose your Time Machine backup disk and click “Continue”. (If the backup disk you are restoring from is a network drive then click “Connect to Remote Disk”. Next, choose the disk image from which the restore will be drawn from and click “Continue”.)
    At “Select a Backup” choose from which set of backups you would like to “Restore From” in the drop-down menu. (If your backup drive only has one set, this will be grayed out.)
    Next, highlight the date and Mac OS X version from which you would like to restore.
    Click “Continue”.
    At “Select a Destination” choose your Macs’ internal hard disk. Give the installer time while it calculates the space required for the restore. When ready click “Restore”.
    Confirm your desire to erase the drive by clicking “Continue”.
    Obviously, this will take quite some time. But when the installer finally announces it has finish, click “Restart”.
    After logging in, immediately go to System Preferences --> Time Machine, and turn “OFF” backups, even if a backup attempted has begun.
    Next, Launch Disk Utility, select your Macs’ internal disk on the left, and click “Repair Disk Permissions”.
    During this initial period, Spotlight is going to re-index your Mac’ hard disk. This can take up to several of hours depending upon the volume of data. Allow it to complete before resuming Time Machine backups. You can monitor its’ progress by clicking on the Spotlight icon in the menu bar.
    Finally, turn Time Machine back “ON” in the Preferences. Time Machine should continue to backup to the same set of backups that it did prior to the restore. However, due to event logs being out of sync, the first backup will require a lengthy session of “Preparing...” as Time Machine performs a “deep traversal”. Allow this to proceed uninterrupted. Additionally, the subsequent backup may be quite substantial involving many GB of data, but don’t be alarmed.
    Your system has now been restored to virtually the same state it was in on the date of the backup you chose. (See this article for a list of files that TM does not restore, http://shiftedbits.org/2007/10/31/time-machine-exclusions/)
    *Erase, Install, & Migrate*
    A final option, reserved for last resort, is to erase the hard disk, install a fresh copy of the Mac OS, and then use Migration Assistant during the installation to restore your user accounts. This is the Mac equivalent of ‘Slash and Burn’, and really should only be necessary if you require a completely fresh start.
    Procedure:
    Verify that your Mac has uninterrupted AC power.
    For faster migration of user data, Time Capsule/AirDisk users should connect their Macs directly to their Airport device via ethernet.
    Insert your original Mac OS 10.5 Leopard DVD and reboot while holding down the “C” key.
    At the “Welcome” screen click “Continue”.
    Click “Agree” to the user agreement.
    Select you Macs internal hard disk and click “Options”.
    Select “Erase and Install”.
    Select “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)” for disk format. (Avoid selecting “Case-sensitive” unless you know what you are doing.)
    Click “OK”.
    Click “Continue”.
    At “Install Summary” click “Customize” if you would like to eliminate certain Print Drivers, Fonts, or Language packages from being installed. Otherwise, click “Install”.
    If you wish, you can click “Skip” when the DVD integrity check begins.
    After the initial installation completes, your Mac will restart and you will see the video introduction.
    At “Welcome” select your country and then preferred keyboard.
    At “Do You Already Own a Mac?” you are asked “Would you like to transfer your information?”
    +from another Mac+
    +from another volume on this Mac+
    +from a Time Machine backup+
    +Do not transfer my information now+
    Select “from a Time Machine backup” and click “Continue”.
    At “Select a Backup Volume” choose your Time Machine backup disk and click “Continue”. (If you are attempting the migration wirelessly, then click “Join...” and select your network first.)
    At “Transfer Your Information” check all the categories you wish to migrate over. If you wish your Mac to be in the same state as your last backup, then check everything. Give the installer time to calculate sizes.
    Once that is complete, the “Transfer” button will become active and you can click it.
    After the install, verify the registration information, click “Connect” and you are done.
    After logging in, immediately go to System Preferences --> Time Machine, and turn “OFF” backups, even if a backup attempted has begun.
    Next, Launch Disk Utility, select your Macs’ internal disk on the left, and click “Repair Disk Permissions”.
    Interestingly, no Spotlight indexing appears necessary, so, once the permission repair is complete, turn Time Machine back “ON” in the Preferences. Time Machine should continue to backup to the same set of backups that it did prior to the restore. However, due to event logs being out of sync, the first backup will require a lengthy session of “Preparing...” as Time Machine performs a “deep traversal”. Allow this to proceed uninterrupted. Naturally, the first backup after a significant installation like this will be quite large so don’t be alarmed.

    Did you do a full system restore, per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum)?
    If so, everything should have been restored, just like they say, unless things were excluded from Time Machine (there's some very bad advice about that on the internet).
    All the things you describe are in +*<home folder>/Library/Preferences.+* If you used +Migration Assistant+ instead, you may have an extra user account, that has the restored preferences.

  • Restore from Time Machine from a MacBook running 10.4

    Ok,
    So long story short. I cannot remember how I upgraded all my computers to 10.5. It was forever ago, but I had a problem with my Macbook and decided to reinstall with the original Macbook Install discs. Problem is, they were 10.4. So now all those perfect Time Machine backups of my old user profile are sitting there useless to me.
    So how do I restore to my last time machine config without having 10.5 CD's?
    Thanks everybody!

    To restore your entire system, you must use a Leopard or Snow Leopard disc. There's no way around it.
    If you can borrow a retail (black) Leopard disc, it doesn't matter what version it is, or violate the license, since you don't install OSX from it.
    Otherwise, you may have to buy one. I understand AppleCare has them for the original $129; many other places charge much more.
    And be very careful buying sight-unseen; if they're the gray discs that came with a different model, they're hardware-specific and probably won't boot your Mac.

  • Correlation for asynchronous system via websphere MQ from a BPEL client

    I could able to find samples for correlation in BPEL while invoking asynchronous webservices.
    Query 1. Are there any samples for Correlation while invoking asynchronous system via websphere MQ from a BPEL client?
    Eventhough I could see some BPEL samples under "\bpel\samples\tutorials", there is no documentation corresponding for each scenarios.In the BPELdeveloper manual, it has been mentioned to see the documentation available in the corresponding directories for instructions on running these tutorials.But there are no such documentations in it.
    Query 2.Can anybody suggest on this regarding documentation especially for the 113.ABCARouting tutorial.

    I understand the MQadapter inconsistency is my problem. Besides that below I have presented some more details regarding what I configured in BPEL...
    MQ adpater(Synchronous Get msg from MQ and send reports) ----> receive1---->Assign1----> Invoke1------->MQ adapter(Asynchronous send msg to MQ and get reports) -----> Receive2 ----> assign2 ---->reply1 ---->MQ adpater(Synchronous Get msg from MQ and send reports) .
    The MQ adapters has been configured for opaque schema. I was constructing the above flow step by step..(Initially with an MQput adapter instead of asynchronous mq adapter and ensured correct operation of messages). Then modified with asynchronous adapter and posted a message. Now the message got strucked at assign1 itself. The error instance in Assign_1 is below...

  • HT201250 (1) Where is the "Time Machine menu" and the choice to "Enter Time Machine" (mentioned in the "Restoring data from Time Machine backups" section)?

    1) Where do I find the "Time Machine menu" and the choice to "Enter Time Machine" (as mentioned in the "Restoring data from Time Machine backups" section in the Mac Support article "Mac Basics: Time Machine")?
    2) How would I restore e.g. a particular photo from a backup I made with Time Machine? I can see how this is done with Word documents, but can't see how to do it with photos?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    1. The Time Machine icon is on the menu bar.
    2. If you want to do that with individual photos, it's the same way as for documents. If you want to do it with iPhoto, you have to restore the whole iPhoto library, not only one photo

  • Time Machine from Leopard to Snow Leopard

    I made a backup of my Leopard installation in Time Machine before upgrading to Snow Leopard.
    I successfully upgrade to Snow Leopard using the equivalent of Erase and Install (disk utility/erase/partition/install) and instead of running Migration Assistant, I opened my Time Machine disk and selectively copied my documents, music and videos to the appropriate folders on Snow Leopard.
    Now, the question is if I set Time Machine on SL to backup to the same disk, will I be able to restore a file to the Leopard version of the Time Machine or only the Snow Leopard version?
    In other words, will I lose all my previous Time Machine backups if I choose the same disk? If so, if I move the "latest" folder from Time Machine to a separate location, will I be able to restore from that copy?

    rpmm wrote:
    Yes I meant "from".
    For the second part what I wanted to do is just copy the last version to a separate drive and use that to possibly pull files from that location if needed. And then just reformat the current TM drive and start with the first backup from SL. Is that not a good idea?
    Not do-able. TM uses a very complex structure for it's backups, including multiple "hard links" at both the file and folder level. You cannot copy them with the Finder.
    What you can do, however, is restore your entire system to that separate drive, from the last Leopard backup, via the instructions in item #14 of the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip.* Of course, select that external as the destination, not your internal HD. Once it's done, boot from the external and use some of the apps to be sure everything's there before erasing the TM drive.
    The reason I did erase and install was I wanted a clean start, not having all of the apps I had, not having all the extra files I had, etc.

  • How do I stop Time Machine from backing up Aperture thumbnails?

    Hi,
    My 2TB backup drive recently became full, and I became curious as to what was filling it up. I wrote a perl script to analyze the Time Machine backups, and I noticed that over 50% of my backup was filled with AP.Thumbnails and AP.Minis from the Aperture project directory. In particular, the AP.Thumbnails files in the backup consumed 737 GB of disk space!
    The problem with the thumbnails files is that they are a single file that contains all of the thumbnails for all of the 40,000 photos I have in Aperture and it is now 20gb in size. Every time I add a new file to Aperture, the thumbnail file changes, and I get a new 20gb of data added to my backup. I add photos often which means that most of my backups have 20gb of Aperture files (which are easy to rebuild and don't need to be backed up).
    I decided to try and stop Time Machine from backing up these files, and there seems to be no way of doing so (without telling Time Machine to skip backing up my entire Aperture project which I don't want to do). In Finder, you can do a "show package contents", but the Time Machine GUI doesn't allow this.
    I tried to tell Time Machine to exclude the files via the GUI, but Time Machine sees the Aperture Library as a single package and won't let me exclude individual files from within the package.
    I googled around, and found the attribute that Time Machine puts on files to exclude them from the backup. I used xattr to set the attributes:
    xattr -w com.apple.metadata:comapple_backupexcludeItem com.apple.backupd <filename>
    I also used this command on the iPhoto thumbnail files.
    I used spotlight to find all of the files with this attribute using this command:
    sudo mdfind "comapple_backupexcludeItem = 'com.apple.backupd'"
    This command returned the iPhoto files, but did not return the Aperture files.
    However, if I run "xattr" on the Aperture files, the attribute does exist!
    During my next time machine backup, the iPhoto files were skipped as I wanted them to be, but the Aperture thumbnails were backed up again
    I thought that maybe time machine was looking at the aperture package as an atomic unit, but iPhoto is stored as a package as well, and the attributes worked there on files inside the package.
    Does anyone have any idea why time machine is still backing up these files? Is there any way I can get around this?
    It seems to me to be an incredible oversight on Apple's part since both tools are Apple. The thumbnails files are very expensive to backup, and they are not necessary for backup since the are easy to rebuild from the original photos which are also backed up.
    Thanks,
    Ron

    No need to write your own script for that. there are a couple of already made nice GUI tools for this - TimeTracker http://www.charlessoft.com/ and BackupLoupe http://soma-zone.com/BackupLoupe/

    I don't have aperture but I think most people exclude the whole thing from TM backups and back it up separately. but if you want to exclude a subfolder in a package that's easy too. just select the package in finder, control-click on it and select "show package contents". in the resulting finder window drill to the folder you want to exclude and drag it to the TM exclusion list in TM system preferences->options.
    I googled around, and found the attribute that Time Machine puts on files to exclude them from the backup. I used xattr to set the attributes:
    xattr -w com.apple.metadata:comapple_backupexcludeItem com.apple.backupd <filename>
    I was not aware of this method for excluding stuff from TM backups. could you provide a link to where you found this?
    I also used this command on the iPhoto thumbnail files.
    I used spotlight to find all of the files with this attribute using this command:
    sudo mdfind "comapple_backupexcludeItem = 'com.apple.backupd'"
    This command returned the iPhoto files, but did not return the Aperture files.
    that's because Spotlight never looks inside packages unless you start a search inside a package directly. iphoto seems to be the only exception. I don't know how it's done.

  • Trying to Time Machine from Leopard to new mac Snow L

    I just got a new MacBook Pro 10.6.3 and am trying to restore via Time Machine from my current 10.5.8. I just waited 2 hours "Copying Volumes" but nothing happened.
    I must be missing something simple but I can't find it.
    thanks
    brian

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    If you mean you're doing a full system restore, that's not going to work. A new Mac that came with Snow Leopard cannot run Leopard.
    You'll need to boot up from the Snow Leopard Install disc that came with your new Mac. Select your language, then from the menubar, select Utilities, then +Disk Utility+ and reformat your internal HD. See the yellow box in #1 of [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html]. Use the GUID *Partition Map Scheme* and +Mac OS Extended+ Format. That will only take a few moments.
    Then quit Disk Utility and install OSX.
    When your Mac restarts, it will be just like it came from the factory. Use +Setup Assistant+ to transfer your data from your old Mac or it's backups, per [Setting up a new Mac from an old one or its backups|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/Setup.html].

  • How to stop Time Machine from backing up Temp Files?

    Hi folks!
    I am trying to find out how to stop Time Machine from constantly backing up 'useless' temporary files accumulated from web browsing? Although I don't change or add large files to my HD, Time Machine backs up hundreds of MBs every hour. Those file amounts make sense when I consider that I browse a lot to YouTube, SoundCloud, etc to watch videos or listen to music - I just don't want them to be backed up.
    Under Time Machine Options I already excluded the following items from backups:
    ~/Library/Caches
    /Library/Caches
    ~/Downloads
    But even though I did this weeks ago, Time Machine stills finds large files to be backed up every hour and my only guess is that I am still missing a location where either Safari or Firefox - the two web browsers I use - store temporary files.
    Can you help?
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Are you sure you need that? There are no viruses that run on OSX. None. Zip. Zero.
    If you're running Windoze on your Mac, that's the same as running it on a PC, so it needs all the same anti-everything stuff you'd use on a PC.
    There is some "malware," such as Trojans, for Macs, though. But (unlike viruses that can get onto your system without your knowledge), you must approve their installation (via your Admin password) and/or operation (via the "This application was downloaded from the internet ..." prompt).
    Appropriately enough, some of these Trojans are included in pirated versions of Apple software, such as iWork!

  • Just migrated using time machine from MacBook Pro to older Macbook. iPhoto 9.4.3 won't open. Tried reinstall - no change.

    Just migrated using time machine from MacBook Pro to older Macbook. iPhoto 9.4.3 won't open. Tried reinstall - no change. (Mac OS X 10.7.5)

    Did you migrate the app from Time Machine? Reinstall it.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    The reference to NovaMedia is that there is the remanant of an older app in there somewhere that won't run on 10.7
