Is TimeMachine a FULL backup?

Hello all
I recently posted about the strange, feint HDD noise that was occurring ONLY in Pages (if I CMD-TAB to another app it stops?)
Apple think I might need a new HDD, so suggest a trip to the local retail store to get it checked. I really don't think it can be!? Faulty only when in one app?!?!
Anyway, should I go that route, I'm worried about backups. All my data is on TimeMachine, but they've advised that Parallels etc, may not copy across well and such apps will require a separate install.
I'm self employed, so all such decisions take up a lot of time.... in short, has anyone restored from a TimeMachine and found that Parallels has just carried on as normal?
I thought it was the whole point of TimeMachine?!?!
Do let me know folks. If not, any tips on how I can do a type of backup that will just take everything off, and then put it right back so I can carry on where I left off?
Thanks
Adam
p.s. If anyone else has noticed the strange HDD r/w noise whilst working in Pages (the only app it does it in: 2 clicks per second continuously) I'd be glad to hear?!

I'd also recommend Carbon Copy Cloner - multiple options to play with - you can create backup bootable drives, or store an 'archive' of a drive to a disk image with or without ability to make incremental backups.
Super Duper is also recommended by many.
I've never trusted/relied on Time Machine alone which is not to say it won't work ok, just that if you have important data then have more than one backup solution even if it's just for the important data.
One thing to also consider is that you might get a Windows authoristation problem if you changed the underlying hard drive if it is failing.  All depends how hardware fingerprints are currently handled by Windows/Parallels, and I've not used it recently.

  • Time Machine repeatedly does full backups, including FileVault while logged in

    So let me preface this - for months I'd hoped for a way that Time Machine could backup my FileVault encrypted account without logging out.  Last night Snow Leopard spontaneously started doing this.  I know many may think that I'm looking a gift horse in the mouth, but read further and hopefully someone can help me make sense of this.
    Last night I attached my external 1TB USB hard drove to my 15" MBP (spring 2010 model) running OS X 10.6.7.  It started doing a Time Machine backup automatically, as usual.  Since I was logged into my account that uses FileVault (a massive home folder - 220GB) I expected a fast backup of things only outside my home folder.  As i looked at the details, however, i quickly realized that it was backing up all 270GB of data on my hard drive - including my FileVault account while still logged in! 
    At first i thought i just got lucky - i'd been craving this feature for years and it just happened to me without even doing anything.  Curious guy that i am, i logged out of my acct with my USB drive still attached to see what would happen.  After FileVault cleared out space in my home folder, it did _another_ backup, that took about 10 minutes to complete.  This seemed strange so i logged back in and started another backup manually.  To my utter shock, it started doing the whole 270GB over again! 
    I even cleared out my TM drive, erased, reformatted, checked permissions, etc etc and did the same on my system drive, hoping that it was just a matter of broken permissions.  No change.
    So there's two things going on here and i'm pretty concerned about both:
    1) Why is TM backing up my entire encrypted home folder while i'm still logged in??? Apple has clearly designed TM and FV to NOT work this way for data integrity reasons and the fact that it's happening has me freaked out a bit over the reliability of my backups.
    2) Why is TM doing full backups after each time i login to my account?  If i stay logged in, it appears to only do incremental (normal) backups but if i logout, then re-login and allow the hour to pass and let a backup start on its own, it starts the whole 270GB again.
    I'm getting to the point of wiping the system and starting from scratch but since i presently live in a country with no Apple store and extremely poor internet access, that prospect horrifies me
    any ideas?
    many thanks,
    -Tim

    Thanks for the input Pondini -
    I tried deleting the file as mentioned in #A4 and it still had the problem.  Last weekend i finally got a brand new hard drive and reinstalled OSX 10.6.3 from scratch, then promptly applied the 10.6.7 combo update.  I purposely chose to NOT import my old user from backup and instead set up everything again manually (royal pain, but the only way i could be sure that i wouldn't bring the problem with me).  Today i whipped out my TimeMachine drive and set it up for backups.  I crossed my fingers and it AGAIN started backing up all 250+GB of my system from within my FileVault protected account. 
    My wife's MBP is still running 10.6.4 and i'm beginning to wonder if his is an issue with 10.6.7 since i'm relatively certain i didn't experience this before that upgrade. 
    I've checked my wife's exclusions under Options and her home folder is NOT in that list, yet her TM is not attempting to backup everything until she logs out of her FV acct.
    In response to Linc Davis, _yes_ it was backing up my info into a sparsebundle file, not just the raw unencrypted data, which is extremely strange.
    If i DO add my home folder to the exclude list, will it still be backed up when i log out?
    At this point, i'm thinking my next steps are:
    1) try a different TM backup drive, even though i've wiped and checked my current drive numerous times
    2) downgrade to an older version of Snow Leopard to see if 10.6.7 is the culprit
    Any other ideas?

  • Time Machine Repeatedly Does Full Backup

    I have five volumes with about 3.7TB of data backing up to Time Machine on a four drive Drobo with 4.9TB available.  I've excluded troublesome files such as the Aperture Library.  I've only two internal drives, one SSD and another two SSD raid.  All other drives work via USB, USB 3.0, Firewire 800 (Drobo) and a proprietary 3waresidecar raid drive.  The external drives are not always present.
    It takes days to do a fresh backup of 3.7TB and then things work fine for a few days and then, once again, a full backup is started.
    I've  not changed the computer name, done a restore, or done any service to any drives.
    I would be appreciative of any suggestions as to what I must do in order to get Time Machine functioning.
    Thanks...

  • Time Machine Freezes during full backup

    I just got a new MacBook Pro. I am trying to create an initial Time Machine full backup.
    The process freezes after processing 6.39GB out of 462.76GB. Further, Time Machine
    also globally freezes after the following steps:
    Reboot
    Try full backup
    -- it freezes
    Stop backup
    -- backup stops
    Try to start backup again
    TimeMachine is now completely frozen. Further, all the top-right menus seem frozen.
    Try to restart machine
    Machine cannot completely shutdown -- it stays in a zombie state trying to shutdown forever
    Force shutdown (pressing power button continously until the machine shuts down).
    I've tried this process about 10 times.
    Same behavior using 4 different types of backup disks.
    (network attached via afs, direct usb, direct fire-wire).
    Here's the console output is below.
    The "freezing" seems to coincide with the output of:
    "kernel[0]: AppleVTD: waiting space (512)"
    Does anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
    Thanks!
    Luis.

  • Time Machine won't create a bootable full backup

    Equipment : Mid 2010 13" Unibody MBP, Late 2010 1Tb Apple Time Capsule, 4Gb RAM, 240Gb HDD, OSX Mavericks
    Upgraded to Mavericks a few months ago, Time Machine has been backing up incrementally to my 1Tb Time Capsule no problem for years.
    I have just bought a SSD so , feeling very confident,  popped out the Seagate Momentus and replaced with PNY 240gb SSD. Booted off my Mavericks recovery CD, selected restore from a previous Time Machine Backup, selected My Time Capsule, MyMac.sparsebundle,Continue
    To my horror, the last full backup was June 2012, kind of worked out why - I had some Exclude options in Time Machine preferences that excluded /Caches , Download folder, Trash so wasnt creating any Full backups
    In order did the following
    Put the Seagate HDD back in and booted up successfully
    removed all the excludes in Time Machine ,
    renamed MyMac.sparsebundle to MyMacX.sparsebundleX ,
    kicked off Back Up Now in the confidence that this would create a brand new backup and do a full backup of the disk
    It didnt, what looked like a full backup started taking about 2h though no full backups found in the newly created MyMac.sparsebundle, so something isnt being backed up to make a full bootable backup
    Checked to see if there were any other system excludes with
    sudo defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine SkipSystemFiles
    Answer came back as 0, so obviously not that
    Rebooted my Mac and Time Capsule, deleted MyMac.sparsebundle, did step 4 again
    Exactly the same result.
    So at this time, I cannot create a full backup to enable a HDD swap out with my SSD
    Help, Ideas anyone

    You need to partition and format the drive first.
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Quit Disk Utility after formatting is finished. Install Snow Leopard. Upgrade to Mavericks.

  • TimeMachine: Restore incremental backup

    When restoring from a TimeMachine backup to a new hard disk, only "full backups", which are a bit outdated, are shown. Are the incremental backups restored after the "full backup" restore?

    bbonn wrote:
    I'm in the same situation, and to clarify: Time Machine does, in fact, keep full vs. incremental backups, confirmed by the AppleCare support manager I am working with on this problem.
    No.  There's a misunderstanding.
    Time Machine only makes a full backup once; all thereafter are incrementals, of what's new or changed.
    But because of the way they're all linked together, every backup is, in effect, a full one.  Seems odd, but see the tan box in How Time Machine works its Magic for an explanation.
    However, it sounds like you may have been bitten by a bug we recently discovered, and Apple either doesn't recognize yet or hasn't told the Support folks about.  Something (we don't know what yet), is telling Time Machine not to back up several top level system folders.  Without them, of course, those backups aren't complete, so don't appear on the selection window.  See #D10 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for details.
    if so, you should be able to get most of your stuff back, at least everything from your home folder.  We can help with that if necessary.
    What's definitely confirmed is that any local-only snapshots are lost when the hard drive is lost, which begs the question: Why would Apple choose to do that in the first place when a perfectly-good external backup location is connected?
    Those are made on laptops only, whether the external is connected or not, so you'll have access to them if necessary.   Think of them as temporary, expendable Versions for files that don't have regualar Versions.  See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #30 for details.

  • HT1175 Time Machine wants to start with a new, full backup instead of using the existing one

    Hi, my Time Machine wants to start a new, full backup, instead of continuing with the existing one on the time Capsule.
    Looking a the Troubleshooting guide, I've found the following piece of info, which is, as 99% of the times with the troubleshooting guides, totally useless to resolve my problem...
    Message: Time Machine starts a new, full backup instead of a smaller incremental backup
    There are three reasons why this may occur:
    You performed a full restore.
    Your Computer Name (in Sharing preferences) was changed--when this happens, Time Machine will perform a full backup on its next scheduled backup time.
    If you have had a hardware repair recently, contact the Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store that performed your repair. In the meantime, you can still browse and recover previous backups by right-clicking or Control-clicking the Time Machine Dock icon, and choosing "Browse Other Time Machine disks" from the contextual menu.
    It should be noted (hence the uselessness of the guide) that:
    -I haven't performed ANY full restore
    - I havent changed my computer name
    - My computer has not had ANY repair, much less a hardware repair. Neither recently, nor in the 9 months I've owned it.
    Which puts me back to square one, with the marginal improvement that now I have a way of browsing my old backups.
    In the event I decide to start all over again, will there be a way for me to "sew" the two backup files?
    Or will I always have to go the silly way around?
    Anybody has any idea?
    Thank you for your time (machine/capsule, your choice;-)

    Hi John,
    no, that doesn't have anything to do with my problem.
    Just look at the image below.
    Time Machine thinks that the disk I've always used to do my backups has none of them.
    If I open the disk with Finder, obviously they are where they should be.
    It is even possible to navigate them as per the instruction reported above, but even following Pondini's advice #s B5 and B6 (which are more applicable to my problem) didn't solve the problem.
    Actually, not being a coder, I'm always scared of doing more damage than good when I have a Terminal window open.
    My question is: how is it possible that Apple hasn't thought of some kind of user command to tell the idiotic Time Machine software that a hard disk backup is a hard disk backup, no matter what?
    Estremely frustrating and annoying: I'm wasting HOURS in trying to find a solution to a problem that should not have arisen in the first place...
    Have a nice weekend
    Antonio

    Hi Markus Doehr,
      Thanks for your information. is it may be Data Protector Configuration issue?
      dbmcli on tvs>dbm_configget all
    OK
    BSI_ENV             = /var/opt/omni/tmp/TVS.bsi_env
    set_variable_10     = OB2BACKUPAPPNAME=TVS
    set_variable_11     = OB2BACKUPHOSTNAME=qapaux26.ind.hp.com
    set_variable_12     = OB2OPTS=(null)
    I'm new to this work and I'm learning the concepts of maxdb as well as DataProtector and trying to fix this issue.  Asper your replay i came to know that  DP doesn't create the medium appropriately.. can you just let me know more on this?
    if possible just tell me with example how to create medium appropriately?
    I'm resending KnlMsg

  • ACS 5.3.0.40 On-demand Full Backup failed.

    Hi,
    I have ACS 5.3.0.40 Primary Secondary Authenticators , of which the Scheduled backup has stopped.
    When checked the :
    Monitoring Configuration >
    System Operations >
    Data Management >
    Removal and Backup
    > Incremental Backup , it had changed to OFF mode. without any reason.
    The same was observed earlier too.
    I have made the
    Incremental Backup to ON and intiated the
    View Full Database Backup Now. But it wasn't successful and reported an Error:
    FullBackupOnDemand-Job Incremental Backup Utility System Fri Dec 28 11:56:57 IST 2012 Incremental Backup Failed: CARS_APP_BACKUP_FAILED : -404 : Application backup error Failed
    Later i did the acs stop/start  "view-jobmanager" and  initiated the On-demand Full Backup , but no luck, same error reported this time too.
    Has any one faced similar type of error /problem reported , please let me know the solution.
    Thanks & Regards.

    One other thing; if this does end up being an issue with disk space it is worth considering patch 5.3.0.40.6 or later since improves database management processes
    This cumulative patch includes fixes/enhancements related to disk management to avoid following issue
    CSCtz24314: ACS 5.x *still* runs out of disk space
    and also fix for
    CSCua51804: View backup fails   even when there is space in disk
    Following is taken from the readme for this patch
       The Monitoring and Reporting database can increase when as records are collected. There are two mechanisms to reduce this size and prevent it from exceeding the maximum limit.
    1. Purge: In this mechanism the data will be purged based on the configured data retention period or upon reaching the upper limit of the database.
    2. Compress: This mechanism frees up unused space in the database without deleting any records.
    Previously the compress option could only be run manually. In ACS 5.3 Patch 6 there are enhancements so it will run daily at a predefined time, automatically when specific criteria are met. Similarly by default purge job runs every day at 4 AM. In Patch 6 new option provided to do on demand purge as well.
    The new solution is to perform the Monitoring and Reporting database compress automatically.
    2.       New GUI option is provided to enable the Monitoring and Reporting database compress to run on every day at 5 AM. This can be configured under GUI Monitoring And Configuration -> System Operations -> Data Management -> Removal and Backup
    3.       Changed the upper and lower limit of purging of Monitoring and Reporting data. This is to make sure at lower limit itself ACS has enough space to take the backup. The maximum size allocated for monitoring and reporting database is 42% of /opt( 139 GB). The lower Limit at which ACS purges the data by taking the backup is 60% of maximum size Monitoring and Reporting database (83.42 GB). The upper limit at which ACS purges the data without taking backup is 80% of maximum size Monitoring and Reporting database (111.22 GB).
    4. The acsview-database compress operation stops all services till 5.3 patch 5 , now only Monitoring and Reporting related services are stopped during this operation.
    5. Provided “On demand purge” option in Monitoring and Reporting GUI. This option will not try to take any backup, it will purge the data based on window size configured.
    6. Even if the “Enable ACS View Database compress” option is not enabled in GUI then also automatic view database compress will be triggered if the physical size of Monitoring and Reporting database reached to the upper limit of its size.
    7. This automatic database compress takes place only when the “LogRecovery” feature is enabled, this is to make sure that the logging which happens during this operation will be recovered once this operation is completed. ACS generates alert when there is a need to do automatic database compress and also to enable this feature.
    8. Before enabling “LogRecovery” feature configure the Logging Categories in such way that only mandatory data to log into Local Log Target and Remote Log Target as Log collector under System Administration > ... > Configuration > Log Configuration
    This “LogRecovery” feature can recover the logs only if the logs are present under local log target.
    9       This automatic database compress operation also performed only when the difference between actual and physical size of Monitoring and Reporting database size is > 50GB.
    10 The new CLI “acsview” with option “show-dbsize” is provided to show the actual and physical size of the Monitoring and Reporting database. This is available in “acs-config” mode.
               acsview     show-dbsize     Show the actual and physical size of View DB and transaction log file

  • I bought a new external hard drive for backups, but time machine won't do a full back up.  I think it is remembering backing up onto previous external hard drives, which I don't own anymore.  How do I do a new full backup?

    I bought a new external hard drive for backups, but time machine won't do a full back up. 
    I think it is remembering backing up onto previous external hard drives, which I don't own anymore.  How do I do a new full backup?
    When I bought the new (used) iMac, I also bought an external hard drive for backups.  It worked fine, but my husband stole it.
    Then I bought a new external hard drive (Seagate) and it worked fine for three weeks, then died.
    So I just got a new external hard drive, which was put together from an internal hard drive and a hard drive enclosure. 
    Time machine did the first backup today, and it should have taken 9 hours like it did on the previous first time full back up.  Instead, it took 30 minutes.  That can't be right.  I want to start over and do a full backup to make sure everything gets onto my new external hard drive, but I can't figure out how to do that.  Please help.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    tmutil compare -E
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command will take at least a few minutes to run. Eventually some lines of output will appear below what you entered.
    Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
    Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
    Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
    At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
    Added:
    Removed:
    Changed:
    These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot.

  • DPM Express Full Backups Causing SQL timeouts

    Hi,
    We run a SQL 2008 R2 failover cluster on Server 2008 R2 SP1 connected to an Equallogic SAN. The SQL failover cluster is fully servicepacked and installed the latest cumulative updates. 
    We have all our databases in full recovery mode and protected by DPM 2012 SP1 with latest cumulative updates.
    The protection groups for SQL are configured to synchronise every 60mins and 1 express full backup every night. Every time the SQL express backups run the SQL server experiences timouts and end users report applications timing out. In the SQL server Application
    logs I see Event ID 833 numerous times, these only occur as the express full backups take place. Every time the express full backups run we see the same timeouts and event logged that I/O has taken longer than 15 seconds to complete:

    I was under the impression that DPM SQL backups would remain online during the backup.
    Is this normal? 
    Any way to fix this issue?

    Hi
    A copy backup will not truncate the logs but a full backup will and it will also stamp the database once it does a full backup.

  • Touch screen stopped working. Is there anyway to force a full backup of the iPhone without typing in my passcode lock or is there anyway to force it to connect to a WiFi network so the phone can backup to iCloud??

    Hello all, I could use some help with my iPhone 4, I hope this is the best place to ask!
    The Problem:
    I want to do a full backup of my iphone to either itunes or to icloud. Unfortunately the iphone got wet and isn’t working properly. The phone turns on and still works, but the touch screen no longer works. I have a passcode lock on the phone so iTunes will not allow me to backup it up until I type in the passcode (which I cannot physically do). WiFi had been turned off before it got wet so it won’t connect to any known WiFi networks either to backup automatically to iCloud.
    What happened:
    I had been travelling for 6 months and went tubing on a river with my iphone in a dry bag. Unfortunately the dry bag failed and filled with water ruining my iphone.
    What I’d like to do:
    It’s an old phone and I was planning on buying a new iPhone anyway. I would love to do a full backup to either iCloud or to my computer so when I get a new iPhone I don’t lose anything. I’ve already connected it to my PC and downloaded all the photos and videos off the phone so at least I haven’t lost that, but I would like to be able to recover all the text messages, WhatsApp messages and notes I had created during my 6 months of travel.
    The last time it was backed up to my pc or to icloud was in April, so there are 6 months worth of very meaningful data I would love to keep to remind me of my travels!
    Is there anyway to force a full backup of the iPhone without typing in my passcode lock or is there anyway to force it to connect to a WiFi network so the phone can backup to iCloud??
    iTunes recognizes the phone just now and I tried upgrading the phone to iOS7 in the hopes that it would first backup and then upgrade. Unfortunately all that happened is the phone upgraded to iOS7, but it didn’t backup to iTunes. Now the phone is stuck at the iOS7 welcome screen and I can’t do anything else with it.
    Any ideas or tips would be welcome!
    NOTE: This is NOT a jailbroken iPhone.

    If there is no other way around this, is there anyway to completely wipe the phone then??
    The Apple store agreed to give me a new iPhone 4 as a warranty replacement for $150 (I travel a lot and I have a factory unlocked phone, so this is still worth it for me).  But before I trade it in, I would like to make sure all my data is backed up on the device first.
    When I try and restore the phone now on iTunes, it says I have to turn off Find My iPhone on the phone first before I can restore it.  Now since I can't use the screen I can't really do that.
    So how do I completely wipe the iPhone???
    Thanks!

  • How to create a new full backup alongside existing one?

    I have recently reinstalled my MBP from scratch and installed some apps from scratch as well. I still have my old TM backup in a sparsebundle on my NAS (a ReadyNAS NV+).
    I now would like to create a complete new full backup alongside my existing one. Or put differently, a new folder/backup inside the Backups.backupdb inside the mounted sparsebundle. Currently I see a folder called "XYZs MacBook Pro". I'd like that to be renamed to something like "XYZs Old MacBook Pro" and create a new full backup under "XYZs MacBook Pro".
    I understand you end up having multiple folders inside Backups.backupdb if you have many Macs (with different MAC addresses). I only have one Mac, but want TM to treat my old previous backup (of the same MPB, hence with the same MAC address) as if it was from another Mac (with a different name).
    With such a setup, I can still access backups from my previous installation of the same hardware by selecting another volume from TM (by holding Alt when clikcing at the TM icon) or with tools such as Back-In-Time.
    Is there any way to achieve this? My sparsebundle is large enough to hold another full backup alongside the old one.
    Thanks

    But wait, you said if I erased the disk I get a new UUID. I did not erase it but I moved all files into a /Previous folder (after booting from the install DVD), then installed the system new, and then moved user data (and some Library and some application stuff) back from /Previous. So, I guess, I have no new UUID for my internal disk.
    Ah, yes, that is different ("reinstalled from scratch" usually means erased). If the disk was never erased, it will still have the same UUID. But since you've moved or replaced virtually everything, it will all get backed up anyway.
    I'm not sure why you did all that; the old +Erase and Install+ and +Archive and Install+ options no longer exist for Snow Leopard: there's just Install, which replaces OSX without touching anything else.
    I wanted to have a *really clean* install as my old systems seemed to be messed up with some bad settings.
    So, back to my original question: how can I make the new "XYZs MacBook Pro" appear alongside the old "XYZs MacBook Pro" and switch volumes when I start TM using the Option key?
    Why would you want to do that? You can view and restore from any backup.
    I figured that way I can keep all old backups from the old installation and not have TM retire old stuff. And start a new one from scratch for the new installation where things will get retired. Basically keep the two backups apart from each other and not see any of the old stuff unless explicitly mounted using the option key.
    If I follow your approach, what happens to old files of the old disk/UUID? Will they get retired eventually? Would my original idea work as envisioned or would it retire old things nevertheless? If the latter is the case, it is of no use and your suggested approach is the better one.
    Is there maybe a ay to force TM to start a new full backup?
    Back up to a different place: a different HD or partition, or erase the current one.
    Guess that's my only option then. I created a full bootable backup to en external USB disk using Carbon Copy Cloner. Erasing the internal disk and copying back using CCC will create a new UUID then I guess ...
    I will try that in the next couple of days and report back here. Thanks a lot for all your help and explanations so far, much appreciated!

  • Can I create a full backup on google drive by moving my user folders to Google Drive Folder?

    Can I create a full backup on google drive? Google suggested I simply move my folders (Pictures, Music, Downloads, Documents, etc) into the google drive folder. But these seem to be automated files involved with Mac's organization... will this create problems for my computer? Ie. if I import new photos, or download music, will my computer know where to put it if its in google drive?
    If this is a problem, how else could I possibly create a full backup of personal data on google drive (or any similar syncing service, for that matter).  iCloud is prohibitively expensive, and programs like crash plan and carbonate run so slowly and bog down my computer so much that they are not worth it. Google drive seems simplest and most competitive in price, but I am worried about moving my folders.
    Help?

    Google Drive also installs a client--a google drive folder on my hard drive that is programmed to sync changes automatically to the cloud--that allows me to drag and drop.  I suppose my original concern was about dragging files from my hard drive (such as "pictures" that would contain my iPhoto library, etc) into it.  Would that mess up Mac's internal organizational system? If I drag and drop my pictures folder, music folder, etc. into the google drive client folder in Finder, will those applications still function correctly?  Will my mac still be able to figure out where to put photos I import from my camera, etc?
    I am only as tech savvy as I have to be to survive professionally as a traveling teacher, so I am looking for something pretty straightforward that will free up some of my brain waves for other activities, rather than remembering which folders I have made changes in and need to sync.

  • Need to backup and remove photo library form my iphone.  This library was previously backup on a hard drive that crashed.  So these photos are only in the photo library and not in the camera roll.  If I do a full backup, it only takes the camera roll.

    Need to backup and remove photo library from my iphone.  This library was previously backup on a hard drive that crashed.  So these photos are only in the photo library and not in the camera roll.  If I do a full backup, it only takes the camera roll.
    So this is a 2 part question:
    1) how to I backup the Photo Library to my new hard drive (as the last one was unrecoverable but previously backed up)
    2) how do I remove the Photo Library form my phone (preferably after backup in item 1)
    Thanks, Janis

    Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer.  As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
    You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you.  I'm sure you'll pay, however.
    Let this be a very important lesson learned.
    Best.
