Mediasmart ex485 - cant create backup file for time machine

I've got an Ex485 that I've put a second 750GB drive into. I'm trying to create a 200GB backup file, however the indicator will get to a certain percentage (44%) and then stop. I dont know why its doing this but its very frustrating. I can only create small backup files - 50GB or smaller. And those small sizes are of no use to me, I need it to be able to backup all my data on my mac.

I have the EX490, so it may be different, but I had to manually create a directory on the EX490 called 'Mac', then share that to make it work.  It did not work out of the box.  When I run the mac software from the EX490 it installs a HP Mediaserver icon in my system preferences.  From there it lets me create a Time Machine volume.  I have set this up on two separate macs now in the house and both can backup with Time Machine.  One volume is 100GB and the other 400GB.  Not sure if this helps you? Also running Snow Leopard if that makes any difference.

  • Select certain files for Time Machine backup?

    Is it possible to select only certain files for Time Machine backup? Or does it automatically backup everything, including what you don't want saved?

    Time Machine will backup all user files unless you select the ones you do not wish to have backed up.  see the attached from System Preferences:

  • Backup Drive for Time Machine FILLS UP FAST!

    *Be forewarned!*
    I have a new iMac 2.8 GHz with an internal 750GB drive (about 500GB free). I bought a 500GB external drive (Western Digital Book My Book™), and after just 4 days of running with Time Machine turned on, I get this error message, "Time Machine backup failed. Time Machine needs 175GB to backup, and only 150GB available." Huh?
    I just spoke to someone at the Apple Store's Genius bar, and they recommend a backup drive that is twice the size of your internal drive. (which means a 1.5 TB drive: not cheap...LaCie costs $539)
    Also, come to find out some programs simply "don't play nice" with Time Machine. A good example is MS-Entourage, which has a single database file (in the Main Identity folder) which holds all the info for your email, address book and calendar. Mine is 350 MB in size, and it is being backed up IN FULL every hour because, well...I use my email. And every time any changes are made to that single file, it is considered modified, which means it is backed up every hour on the hour, which can quickly add up.
    The same is true for the Windows XP or Vista VM files created by Parallels or VMware Fusion. Each are single, 2+ GB files, and each time any change is made to this 'huge' file, it gets backed up repeatedly by Leopard's Time Machine.
    _So the larger the backup drive for Time Machine the better_! I'm considering giving up on Entourage (kiss Microsoft goodbye!) and switching to Apple's excellent mail, address book and calendar programs!

    Tim,
    I just switched from Entourage to Mail (for many reasons). Thus far, I love Mail. You may want to get the Widescreen plugin for it if you like the three-pane configuration of Entourage.
    You should also be careful with Address Book if you have syncing set up in Entourage. In other words, probably should turn it off, along with any daemons you may have running. I lost data twice (once before my very eyes!) until figuring this out. Used Time Machine to restore a previous address book with all my contacts.
    Thanks for the other information on this thread. Since I should be upgrading my old external drive anyway, it will help in purchasing a new machine for use with TM.

  • Time machine on external drive will not back up itunes media file on a separate external drive. Have already reformated itunes media drive,dragged itunes media backup file from time machine (old copy) and removed time machine plist and restarted.

    Two external drives, one for time machine backups and a second (daisy chained firewire) for itunes media folder . Time machine fails to backup the media file saying could not be completed, with no error specified. Steps taken already include reformating drive with media, dragging older media backup file from time machine disc to media disc, and deleting time machine plist and starting time macine preferences upon startup. Media folder is approx 200 gb, mostly ripped dvd movies.
    Any help for this??
    Thanks

    5 hours to do 6 GB of transfer is NOT normal, even for USB 2.0 so there's something wrong here. I'd say cancel it, wipe the drive and then test the integrity of the drive. Do some file transfers over to and see if it's behaving normally. It could be a bad USB cable, it could be a bad drive or bad enclosure. As it's new, I suspect you haven't really put it through its paces yet and it's important to do that first before commissioning it to serve as your "reliable backup."

  • How to remove old backup files from time machine? Lion OSx

    Hi everyone,
    I am just wondering how to efficiently and safely remove the old backup files from time machine? I tried once with command, but it damaged my extra-disk... Does Lion OSx have fixed that?
    Many thanks
    Hong

    Blue-
    Time Machine will automatically delete back-ups as the need for space arises. If you want to delete a certain file (application, document, whatever) and have it gone for good you can do that as well.

  • If I choose a hard drive ask my backup disk for time machine, will it clear out the data that was previously stored in my hard drive?

    If I choose a hard drive ask my backup disk for time machine, will it clear out the data that was previously stored in my hard drive?

    Hello edjhsu,
    Unless the drive is in a format that isn't compatible with Time Machine, the files will not be overrwitten. However it is typically a better idea to keep your files and your backup separate, especially since files on the Time Machine drive will not be backed up by Time Machine.

  • HT201250 Is it possible to use Dropbox or Microsoft OneDrive as the backup disk for time machine?

    I have a MacBook Pro for which I have not set up Time Machine. I have a Dropbox account and a Microsoft OneDrive account, each with plenty of space to serve as backups. Is it possible to use either of these as THE backup disk for Time Machine? It doesn't appear intuitive from Time Machine on my MBP.
    Thank you.

    No. Time Machine does not work with "cloud" drives.

  • How can I delete undesirable backup files from time machine?

    Can anyone give me details of how to delete undesirable backup files from Time Machine,
    I'm trying to remove mackeeper which has been running since 2011
    And I'm stuck at the first hurdle......
    Thanks

    The problem I have is that i dont have an option to delete backups of this file on the options menu, and when I click delit or try to drag it to the trash I get a box saying " This operation can't be completed because backup items can't be modified"
    Iam really tempted to just delete mackeeper from HD library and Applications but it is stressed that I need to do the TM deletes first?
    Am stuck please help

  • Where can I find an iPad backup file in Time Machine?

    I want to restore my iPad from a backup. I know how to do this, and have already done it before.
    However, this time I would like to find a backup that is stored in Time Machine. So, two questions:
    1) can I even do this?
    2) if I can, then do you know where iTunes keeps the backup files for iPad's in OS X Lion? I would assume that I should be able to locate the backup file, copy it to my current day Mac and then restore the iPad using that file, no?
    In previous OS versions the backups used to be in: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    However I have searched my whole machine and can't find a single folder that is called MobileSync. It is not hidden, nor in ~Library, nor in the USER\XXX\Library, nor anywhere.
    Thank you,

    That path is still correct - at least it is on my system - but unless you had Library brought out into a place where it could be found, in the Sidebar for instance, I don't know how you'd get into it in Time Machine. Try this, though: access the user's Library folder via the Go To Folder command, then drag the Library folder into the sidebar. Then run Time Machine and see if the Library folder persists in the TM interface. If it does, you should then be able to navigate into Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ and find and restore the backup folder.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't restore individual iPhone backup file via Time Machine

    Hello,
    I was hoping someone here might be able to assist me. I seem to have lost my iPhone backup file, but when I access the backup files in time capsule under user, in library under mobilesync, I can't even make it that far in time capsule, all I get to is a sparse image file of the username, is there a way I can access these files without a complete restore?
    Thanks!

    If you mean you're using the Finder, that's not how to restore from Time Machine.
    See #15 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).

  • I have an iMac OS X 10.6.8 and have problems with the backup Disk for Time Machine disconnecting itself with the message that I ejected it improperly.. It ejected itself - why?

    I have an iMac OS X 10.6.8 and have problems with the backup drive to Time Machine ejecting itself and so does not automatically backup the way it is meant to do. It is connected with an USB cable to my iMac. What could cause this - malfuntioning drive?

    The "iLife" apps are not part of any Mac operating system install and are a separate purchase.
    Once you get past 10.6.6 you can purchase and download iPhoto, GarageBand and iMovie. iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued.
    Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and higher include the App Store application which is what you use to purchase Lion.

  • How do I choose a backup disk for Time Machine?

    I'm using a 1T Seagate backup disk with 3 partitions to back up on Time Machine. Very suddenly, when it was mounted, the Time Machine icon disappeared, and the Time Machine Partition turned into the generic black Seagate partition-- same as the other two partitions. I ran Disk Utililty; supposedly, everything is fine. I didn't need any of the previous backups, so I reformatted the backup disk. In choosing a disk to use in the Time Machine preferences, I chose a partition. It did perform the backup, and the Time Machine icon was on the desktop while it was backing up, but when I ejected the disk and then plugged it back-- there was the generic icon again.
    Also, when I cicked on command e, previously, I was given the option of ejecting one or all three partitions. Now, everything just ejects immediately. Seems like there is a glitch somewhere. In the Time Machine Preferences, the disk with the Time Machine icon at the top of the preferences has an option to select disk and then an option to remove. Why would I remove that disk? Very confusing.

    The option to remove the disk in the TM preferences is so you can use another disk if you want.
