Is Backup bundled in the OS 10.4?

We have several macs, including 2 imac G5s, one is a little older than the other. On the older G5 I recently installed 10.4, updated to 10.4.11 and then I went to go use Backup and it didn't get installed with Tiger. We also have iLife 08 on both, and iWork is installed on the newer G5. Why do you think Backup didn't get onto my older G5 with my recent OS 10.4 install?
Thanks for looking!

One more question in relation to this thread. Can't I just drag the iPhoto library out of User/Pictures/iPhoto Library onto my HUGE backup drive and it copies the photos and then I could choose that Library when I open iPhoto (on another machine) if the library on my primary drive got zapped? And then, every so often, when I add a bunch of pics, delete the item off the backup drive and then re-copy the library again?
Why use a backup app in this use? I mean, I use one for the biz computer because it's a lot of different stuff scattered around, and apparently the Backup application came bundled on the computer and was activated when I opened a .mac account (now mobileme - not very business-like name, btw - .mac was kind of cool, and .me sounds vain, weird, & selfish and is NOT cool for our he-man construction company biz,...but I digress). For my personal computer, I use it for internet & mail & iTunes, & iPhoto, mostly and do any biz through the network.
So, just copying a library pretty much doesn't take any more time than Backup (true, not schedule-able...)
Thanks for your time...I know it's valuable...

  • Multi-Device Security & Backup Bundle

    I currently have the Internet Security Suite/up to 6 computers - with 3 Desktop PC's and 3 Laptops.
    Looking at changing to the 'Multi-Device Security & Backup Bundle 50GB' bundle which is same price (at least for 12 months) that has "Unlimited* protection for all your devices"
    But the note says:
          *Subject to limitation on reasonable use and purpose of the product.
    Does anyone know if this will cover existing 6 PC's and a couple of tablets?
    What does Verizon consider as "reasonable use"?
    Also is it easy to change the plans? Assuming its the same security software on the PC's.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    i can't hook it to my internet i pay for it it is on my bill

  • HT3275 I get message Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to MybookLive The backup disk image Volumes/TimeMachine RobertFurlong's Computer(2).sparsebundle is already in use.Any ideas?.

    I get message Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to MybookLive The backup disk image Volumes/TimeMachine RobertFurlong's Computer(2).sparsebundle is already in use.Any ideas?.

    I have experienced the same problem on a MB Pro 2011 and a 2013 MBAir both with updated OS's. OSX10.9.3.  WD MYBookLIVE 3Tbyte.   I have found the only solution is to reboot the WD device thru Western Digital's software that you can access via the IP address for the WD device. For example, if you type the WD backup device's IP,  like ... "125.261.1.38 " in the Safari address bar, WD has built-in software the runs a program that allows you access to the WD unit to maintain it, turn it off, reboot it, partition it, etc.
    Doing this, I believe disconnects or ?dismounts? the WD from TM and resets everything.  It works most times, not always, Sometimes you need to reboot the Mac too.
    I'm more interested in what is causing this frequent failure on the WD.  It happens to me several times per week. I suspect, network failures or improper disconnections between WD and the Mac (not caused but the user) are the culprit but I haven't seen any blogs on a permanent fix. Spent hours on the phone with WD techs; they were clueless. I found the "fix" myself.
    Further, I often get an associated reply to "dismount the WD" with the "sparse bundle.XXX is in use" error. But when I go to Finder or Disk Management to find out what's mounted on the Mac, the WD is never mounted, even when the TM backup is working properly.  I find the WD device under SHARED in Finder. Its never mounted, so I can't dismount it.

    I have an iMac purchased in May 2011.  OSX Lion 10.7.3.  I deleted backup file from the external hard drive which operates from Time Machine.
    Now, the trash can will not empty some of the files deleted from the backup harddrive.
    The trash contains-- File folder: "Core Services" which contains a locked file: "boot.efi". 
    It will not delete.
    How do I get the trash can empty of these files?

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

  • I have a time machine backup file on a USB hard drive.  I bought a time capsule / airport extreme, flat 3TB.  I wish to transfer the backup file from the usb hard drive to the time capsule hard drive.  10.6.8

    I have a time machine backup file on a USB hard drive.  I bought a time capsule / airport extreme, flat 3TB.  I wish to transfer the backup file from the usb hard drive to the time capsule hard drive.  10.6.8

    Unfortunately, Time Machine backups that are stored on a drive that has been connected directly to a Mac are completely different than Time Machine backups that are stored on a Time Capsule.
    Frankly, it is not worth the effort and trouble to try to transfer the old backups to the new Time Capsule.....my opinion....having done this in the past.
    It is possible though, but I would not recommend it due to the complexity and downsides involved with this. To give you an idea of how to do this, check out this support article.
    http://pondini.org/TM/18.html
    Even if you transfer the "old" backups over to the Time Capsule successfully, Time Machine will not simply "add on" to the old backups.
    Time Machine will make a new complete backup of your Mac and then add incremental backups from that point.
    My advice.....start a new backup on the Time Capsule and move forward. Keep the USB hard drive around for a month, maybe 2 or 3 in case you need to go back to an old backup for some reason.  At that time, you will not likely need the old backups at all since you will have a current 2-3 month history of new backups.  At that point, you can erase the USB drive and use it for another purpose.

    Hey cadet alain,
    thank you for your answer :-)
    I have deleted all such attempts not working, so a packet-trace will be not very useful conent...
    Here is the LogLine when i try to browse port 80 from outside (80.xxx.xxx.180:80) without VPN connection:

    TCP access denied by ACL from 77.xxx.xxx.99/59068 to outside:80.xxx.xxx.180/80
    The attached file is only the show running-config
    Now i can with my AnyConnect Clients, too, but after connection is up, my vpnclients can't surf the web any longer because anyconnect serves as default route on 0.0.0.0 ... that's bad, too
    Actually the AnyConnect and Nat/ACL Problem are my last two open Problems until i setup the second ASA on the right ;-)

  • I'm worried about what will happen if I delete my recent backup data from the phone I still own? Will I lose any progress in games that was saved in the backup?

    I'm worried about what will happen if I delete my recent backup data from the phone I still own? Will I lose any progress in games that was saved in the backup?
    I have an iPhone 4S and I keep getting those irritating notifications that tell me I need to upgrade my storage or free up space. I've deleted all I can from my music and photos without losing too many precious memories, but it's come to the point where I think I need to delete backups. However, I'm just worried that I will lose all and any log-in information that I don't remember and app/game progress that was saved to the iCloud. Please Tell me what will happen/what I can do?

    If you are asking what happens when you delete an iCloud backup, it only deletes the backup from your account.  It won't do anything to the data on your phone or in your iCloud account.  If you don't need to backup you can delete it.  (If you no longer want to back up your phone to iCloud, turn iCloud backup off in Settings>iCloud>Backup.  Then your phone will back up to your computer each time you sync it with iTunes.)

  • HT201250 I have two external hard drives. One is my Time Machine backup drive.  The other I use for external storage of files (documents, photos, movies, etc).  Can I set Time Machine to backup BOTH my Mac hard drive and my other external hard drive?

    Yes you can make multiple backups on one hard drive, for example if you’ve 1TB hard drive installed in your PC and you’ve two Mac Machines with 500GB drive each then you just make two backup images with size of 500GB each.

    Migration Assistant (Finder > Applications > Utilities > Migration Assistant) is the tool that you would use to restore backups from older Macs to another Mac.
    Details are here:   http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html   The same info applies for Mavericks and Yosemite.   If you are saying that this is a "no go".....where are you getting stuck?  What error messages do you see?

    It must have found the old backup corrupt.. so you will more than likely have little choice. You can archive off the old backup if it is still useful.
    You can also verify it. See A5 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    He also has some info on this problem. eg C13.

  • TS4036 I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?

    I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can only restore them from a Computer backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
    Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

  • How can we take backup of all the RDL'S existing at Report server dynamically at one time

    How can we take backup of all the RDL'S existing at Report server dynamically at one time ? I want to take backup of all the reports existing at the report server dynamically at one time only. currently I'm able to take backup of the reports folder wise
    using VBScript. and I have to pass the folder names again and again. I want this to be happened for all the reports of all the folders at single shot only using VBScript.

    Hi DineshRemash,
    Based on my research, we can store the following VB Script to a text file, then modify the file name extension from .txt to .rss.
    Dim rootPath As String = "C:\Reports"
    Sub Main()
    Dim items As CatalogItem() = _
    rs.ListChildren("/", true)
    For Each item As CatalogItem in items
    If item.Type = ItemTypeEnum.Folder Then
    CreateDirectory(item.Path)
    Else If item.Type = ItemTypeEnum.Report Then
    SaveReport(item.Path)
    End If
    Next
    End Sub
    Sub CreateDirectory(path As String)
    path = GetLocalPath(path)
    System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(path)
    End Sub
    Sub SaveReport(reportName As String)
    Dim reportDefinition As Byte()
    Dim document As New System.Xml.XmlDocument()
    reportDefinition = rs.GetReportDefinition(reportName)
    Dim stream As New MemoryStream(reportDefinition)
    document.Load(stream)
    document.Save(GetLocalPath(reportName) + ".rdl")
    End Sub
    Function GetLocalPath(rsPath As String) As String
    Return rootPath + rsPath.Replace("/", "\")
    End Function
    Then navigate to the folder contains the script, we can directly run the below command from the run menu:
    rs -s
    http://aa/ ReportServer -i download.rss
    We can modify the rootpath to point at whaterver fold you’d like to download the RDL files.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
