Macrium Reflect backup Windows 7 to Time Capsule

I can't get Macrium Reflect (free version) to backup my PC Windows 7 files.
The Time Capsule is already being used as a Windows server (Z: drive) to store, access and change files (eg: Word, Excel, PDF, etc documents).
I have a folder selected on the Time Capsule to save the backups to. The backup program runs but continually fails when reaching around 2%.
Any solutions?

Works on mine.. and mine is formatted HFS+ like every other.
Are you using wireless or ethernet?? Try ethernet if you are using wireless.
Test with a large file. etc exactly as per my previous post.. what is the result of your testing??

Any ideas?

I have not found a long-term solution (fix), but in my case the volume where the Time Machine backup should occur usually is mounted on the desktop but not as a shared volume (incidated as a drive with the people holding hands superimposed over the drive icon). If I drag the drive to the trash (unmount it), the next time Time Machine is scheduled to run, it completes successfully.

Make sure that no other Macs are backing up at the time
Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
Count to ten
Plug the power cord back into the Time Capsule
Wait a few minutes, then try a backup again
Check to make sure that you are running firmware 7.6.4 on the Time Capsule

HELP- what does this mean- time machine error- backup disk image "/Volumes/time Capsule/ cheryl lynott's MacBook.sparsebundle" is already in use?

The last date of my back up was 10/4- keeps saying The backup disk image "/backup disk image "/Volumes/time Capsule/ cheryl lynott's MacBook.sparsebundle" is already in use?

HELP -- what does this mean -- .......
Often, this error can be corrected by pulling the power on the Time Capsule, waiting a few minutes, and powering the Time Capsule back up.

Reboot the TC.. The computer is not smart enough to remember where it left it.. network bug.

Time machine backups wont move to time capsule

i have two mac minis, one is the mid 2010 model and the the other one is a 2006 model. i have successfuly used superduper to finally move my 500 gigs
of time machine backups to the new time capsule. but the older 2006 model has me lost. i am tempted to go to the applestore to make them copy it
if i follow the directions including resetting time machine the best i can get is a pop up box every hour that says the identity of the time capsule cannot
be verified. this does not show up on the 2010 mini
when i tell it to pick the drive theres 2 other drives that i dont even have! those are "HOME" and "NET" on "localhost" i have no idea where its getting
those drive paths. maybe its my readynas , when i go to /Volumes, there is no home or net folders
another problem i have with time machine is for some strange reason there is a range of backups in an old sparse bundle file and i would like to move all the backups for this computer into one main directory, instead of having to browse old time machines. but when i try to copy from one sprarse bundle to another i get an error saying that the backup files cannot be modified

Is that the message in #C15 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting? If so, are you selecting Use This Disk? If not, exactly what does it say (or post a screenshot).

That's correct; you cannot merge one set of backups into another. A set of TM backups has a complex structure, with things all linked together; you cannot alter it. See How Time Machine works its Magic for an explanation.

Can anyone help me clear this annoying message up? Thanks for advance....

The unplugging was of power, if you were unplugging ethernet .. that will not do anything.
The issue is explained here.
C17 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
If a restart of the TC is not adequate you maybe in the 2% that has other issues.. please try a full network restart in correct order.. with everything off.. modem.. then TC.. then clients.. with 2min gap to allow modem and TC to finish boot process.

Ich hatte das selbe problem, als ich ein laufendes Backup durch einen ungewollten Neustart unterbrochen hatte. Nachdem ich die Time Capsule über das AirPort Dienstprogramm neugestartet habe (einfach irgendeinen parameter ändern, zurücksetzen und Aktualisieren klicken) funktionierten die Backups wieder.

Can I backup my pc to time capsule

I placed a Time capsule between my home modem and home pcs and macs. I know I can multi back up Macs to TC but, not sure if or how to backup pc to TC. THanks for your help!

A network drive will not in any way affect the windows connection. I have no issues connecting a pc to the Time Capsule.. you don't even have to load any drivers.. just make sure you set the disk access correctly and put the TC in the correct workgroup for the computer.
The actual backup software you use will be the most important choice. Basically I use the free version of macrium reflect to do a full disk image and then just copy files across as I need them.. but there is no reason you couldn't setup or buy a suitable software that will do incremental backups.. even MS backup.. shudder.. must be somewhat improved in the later versions.

How does one transfer only 1 of 4 backups from an old TIme Capsule to a new one, such that the 1 on the old TC can be deleted to save space?

I have a 2-TB TC that currently backs up 4 Macs, which is full - no more space to backup, down to less than a year's worth of backup for one Mac, so I don't want any more old backups deleted.
I bought a new 3-TB Time Capsule, and wish to move only one of the the 4 backups to it, which is currently over 1 TB. The idea is to free space on the old TC for the other 3 Mac backups. Also the two TCs may end up in 2 different locations soon.
I read about how to do this at Apple and at pondini.
Upshot was that I copied over the one sparsebundle using Finder drag/drop from the old to the new TC.
When I go to Time Machine preferences to Select Disk, then click the new TC, and Use Disk, I get this dialog:
I don't want to Use Both.
I assume that if I click Replace "Data" that the 1+ TB file that took 12 hours to copy will be lost.
How do I get Time Machine to just resume backing up to this sparsebundle, and not create a whole new backup, deleting the file that has the past year of backups?

I assume you selected the new Time Capsule? If in doubt, and for future clarification, you might want to rename the Data folder on one or both TCs via Airport Utility. Click it on the Disks panel to change the name; then that name will appear on the selection window, etc., so you'll always know which is which:
In any event, the prompt means "Replace (the old) "Data" as the destination for this Mac's backups." It will not touch either the new or old sparsebundle -- future backups will just be directed to the selected location(s). Do note, however, that when you change destinations, the TM Prefs window will show "None" for oldest and latest backups. Don't be alarmed -- that's just TM being lazy and not checking the actual backups yet. See #B3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #34 for details on backing-up to multiple destinations.
By the way, just for future reference, another option would have been to connect a USB drive to the existing TC (that's what "S.TM.Backups" is in the sample}.

Click Replace "Data".

HT201250 My MacBook is full. I want to 'save' (backup) everything on my Time Capsule and then reset my MacBook to factory settings so it is empty again. Can I access my files on the TC without restoring the whole thing to my MacBook?

I also bought a WD My Book 2T external hard drive, but I think I wasted my money. The thing is not easy to navigate. I bought it because I didn't understand (and still don't really) how the Time Capsule works. I want to be able to basically 'reformat' my MacBook so it is empty, but have all my current stuff accessable so that if I want to find a photo or file, I don't have to restore the entire thing back onto my MacBook.

Then what you want is a Carbon Copy Cloner of your entire OS X boot partition which includes everything (OS X, programs and files) and is hold the option key bootable at boot up (wired or built in keyboard) this way you can boot from it or use Migration or Setup Assistant against it, or access it directly from any computer capable of reading the HFS+ format (Windows PC needs MacDrive installed)
It's like the ultimate backup system, just blows TimeMachine and TimeCapsule away completely in almost every manner.
You need another backup anyway in case TC wasn't doing it's job. With the clone you can check it out completely before erasing the original drive too.
Most commonly used backup methods
So you need a blank powered external drive formatted Partition: 1 option: GUID and format OS X extended journaled in Disk Utility, use the Erase > Secure >Zero (or middle selection in 10.7+) and allow that work, may take a few hours but it's good for all new drives to be done once.
Next download CCC and select your boot drive and clone it to the external drive, then when it's finished you hold the option key down (wired or built in keyboard) and while booting up (Startup manager) to select the clone to boot from and check it out.
Next you need to use Disk Utility (on the clone) and select the Macintosh HD partition of the internal drive and use the Secure Zero Erase (or middle selection) and allow that to work, it will scrub your drive of everything.
Next you install OS X again.
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
How to reinstall just OS X or erase/install OS X
Next you install your free iLife and third party programs from original sources
Restoring your Free iLife (iPhoto, iMovie etc)
Then you can cherry pick just want you want off the clone drive.
