Is there a users manual for time machine

I'd like to make sure that my emails (the ones that I haven't already delete) are included in the backup.  Also, I'd like to fix the time when the bacup takes place.  Also, I'd like to learn how to delete backups, so the backup disk doen't get too full.  I suspect that these questions would be answered in a users manual - is there such a thing?

Here is some comprehensive information from our Time Machine 'guru':

  • Is there an alternative device for Time Machine Backup?

    Hello All,
    I am stretching my dollars when I am saying I am going to buy Airport Extreme or Time capsule. Do you have any recommendation if any of the wireless routers out there in the market can do this trick. I would greatly appreciate if you can give me a response.
    Thanks
    S

    A $99 AirPort Express + an external hard disk drive will cost less than a Time Capsule.
    The Express includes most of the features of the more expensive Extreme. Though the Extreme supports an external HDD you can only use a hard disk attached to your Mac for Time Machine. Either way, you will need an external backup device and an inexpensive hard disk drive offers the cheapest cost per unit storage.

  • Is there a user manual for MacBook Pro

    Struggling with jumping over to Mac from a PC is there a user manual?

    There is a user manual both in the box the MBP came from and on the hard drive. But it really doesn't cover using the MBP or what you need to know when switching from PC to Mac.
    For that you should look into get a good book on Macs. Sorry don't have any suggestions.
    If you were fairly proficient on Windows you will be on a Mac but Mac's are not easier to use. They are just different then PCs in some ways, and then they are the same in others.
    If you could describe what problems you are having that would go a long way to help you.
    NOTE: The one big difference between the systems is in Windows when you clicked the X in the upper righthand corner of the program the Program actually closes. On Mac when you click the X in the upper lefthand corner of a window you are not closing the program. All you are doing is closing that window, the peogram stays running in the background. You have to actually close the program by hitting the Command+Q keys (while the program is active and its name is in the menu bar even if there is no windows open for it) or go to the Program name in the menu bar and select Quit Programname.

  • Is there a user manual for Premier Elements 11?

    Can't find a manual for Premier Elements 11 but I can find the one for ver 12 easily. Can anyone tell me whether there is one for ver 11 and, if so, provide a link?
    thanks much for helping!

    I saw your thread
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5850138#5850138
    and was going to dig into it, but then got detoured.  It looked like more than I am used to.
    We can continue this discussion in the other thread, so I will just mentioned details that I was going to ask about (just in case I get detoured again.)
    a. Are you saying that you have a live feed of video and audio going into Premiere Elements? If so,
    what did you set as the project preset beforehand so that it would match the properties of your source media.
    b. What are those properties of your source media?
    c. I do not know if I can do a live feed of video and audio from camera into Premiere Elements, but I could give it a try. What is the connection type and what do the connections look like?
    If I am correct in my understanding of what you are doing, can you get the video and audio in sync if you import the video and audio files after recording.
    I suspect most of what you are seeking is advanced and are less likely to be found in the typical books available. So, if possible, you might want to preview books before purchase. There are not inexpensive.
    More later.
    Thanks.

  • Is there a user manual for Pages 5.2 (1860)?

    I built my book in Pages 09. After updating to Pages 5.2, I have to reset document and section information. I will think twice before agreeing to download a Pages update in the future.
    The first page of each chapter is bigger than the other pages and doesn't have a header / footer. I want to know how to have headers and footers on all pages.
    I also want to know whether I need to convert it to the Page Layout format.
    Help!
    Thank you.

    Only the on-line Help under the Help menu and that is way short of adequate.
    You should still have Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder, no need to use Pages 5.2, in fact there are 110 reasons not to:
    http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewtopic.php?t=424&mforum=iworktips ntrick
    If you convert your file to Page Layout it will delete all your content. Also Pages 5.2 has no Textbox linking nor Facing Pages, which makes a book layout well nigh impossible.

  • I have a lion server set up to host storage for time machine backups. Is there a limit to how many different computers can back up to the single server to back up. I am only backing up the users folders . The backup drive is an external Drobo with 6 TB.

    I have a lion server set up to host storage for time machine backups. Is there a limit to how many different computers can back up to the single server to back up. I am only backing up the users folders . The backup drive is an external Drobo with 6 TB. Right now it seems to back up my users all day long. I set their time machine interval to every 5 hours but it still runs all day long and is very slow. Server is on a new Mac Server mini.

    AFAIK, there is no user limit.. it is simply a question of the network load. AFP is a fairly clean protocol.. but TM is not.. it does a lot of testing of the backup.. infact your setting of 5hour gap could well make it worse.
    I would sort out the clients that are doing 100GB backups to a different backup location.. no matter how fast your network.. 100GB takes time to backup.. and over wireless forever.. it will never end.
    I guess some of these clients are on wireless?? I would separate the TM of wireless to those that are wired. No more than 4 or 5 wireless clients to a target device. Otherwise you are saturating your network with backup data. And use 5ghz.. so close by.. it is much faster than 2.4ghz and you will get much better transfer rates.
