Setting exclusions in Time Machine to achieve limited backup
I'm trying to help a friend with doing a limited backup of her data using Time Machine. The backup is going to a 4 GB flash drive. After preparing the drive I used options to exclude the following: Applications, Developer, Library, System files and applications. The only thing I thought I should backup was her User folder. Backup ended up being about 2.6 GB and appeared to go fine. Her Documents, Pictures and a few minor Graphics were backed up and visible. Under her User>Library folder I found what I'm hoping was her Mail folder containing Mailboxes and other files which I assume were configuration and preference files. I don't have the Macbook with me so I can't get in to confirm what the filenames were but they seemed to be the same ones I backed up and restored from her old IMac to the new Macbook.
I also found, as a subfolder of the Library folder, an applications folder which had a Address book folder and within that what appeared to be address book files.
Have I backed up the proper folders and files for her? I only intended to backup her pictures, documents, emails and addresses and would like to confirm that what I've listed is correct for these backup items. If not, could anyone let me know which folders I need to back up to achieve the objective.
Many thanks in advance from an old-time (literally and figuratively) PC user who has always liked and admired Macs! The selection process for PC backup seems easier to me but that's because I probably don't know the proper method to select the exact folders I need.
Oh, one other thing. From what I've read about Time Machine the next backups will be incremental. Is this correct? My friend adds very little to her system in the way of pictures or documents so I think the 4 GB (actual space is 3.4 GB) drive will be enough for her for a while if all subsequent backups are incremental.

If you mean her home folder, then yes. It also includes most (but not all) preferences and settings.

If it was actually +<her home folder>/Library/Application Support+, then yes, that's where they usually are.

Probably, unless she's moved some things from the default locations.

As was pointed out earlier, the purpose of Time Machine is to back up an +entire computer.+ Among other things, if the HD fails, all that's needed to restore the +entire system+ to a new or repaired HD is the Leopard Install disk (the restore utility is there) and the TM drive. Used that way, you normally don't exclude folders at all.

It will work this way for a while, but TM will probably begin to fail for lack of room. It's designed to make an incremental backup every hour. Those are kept for 24 hours, except the first of the day, which is kept for a month. Then one per week is kept as long as there's room. And it won't actually fill the drive completely, as it needs a fair amount of free workspace.
And there are some 3rd-party apps, such as Entourage, that keep all their data in a single file, so an incremental backup will copy the whole thing again.
Again, while this may work for a while, it's a very tenuous and partial solution. Especially since 1 tb drives are now not much over $100, it's just not sensible to do partial backups. Better than nothing, but not a whole lot.
If the HD fails, she'll have to first load OSX from the install disc, then apply all the software updates to get OSX current. Then re-load all 3rd-party software (guess how much fun that is!), and finally load her home folder from the flash drive.
Please try to convince her to spend a few bucks for a complete backup.

I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time
Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on
what other
external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and
how to configure that disk.
A complication that I need to resolve is the fact that I am using Vmware
Fusion to be able to use Windows on my Mac. Now it seems that Time
Machine is not backing up my files
on that virtual Windows without additional configuration and my question
is whether you can advise me here or whether this is only a matter for
the Fusion virtual machine.If you want to use Time Capsule you can.. you simply bridge it and plug it into the existing router.. wireless can be either turned off or used to reinforce the existing wireless.. eg use 5ghz in the TC which is much faster than your 2.4ghz.
You can also use a NAS.. many brands available but the top brands are synology, qnap and netgear readynas series. These will all do Time Machine backups although how well always depends on Apple sticking to a standard. There are cheaper ones.. I bought a single disk zyxel which was rebadged and sold through my local supermarket. It actually works very well for TM at least on Snow Leopard. Major changes were made in Lion and again ML so do not instantly think it will work on later versions. I haven't tried it yet with those versions.
Any external drive can be plugged into the mac. Use the one with the fastest connection or cheapest price according to your budget. USB2 drives are cheap and plentiful. But no where near as fast as USB3 or FW800. So just pick whichever suits the ports on your Mac. Interesting Apple finally moved to USB3 on their latest computers.
TM should exclude the VM partition file.. it is useless backing it up from Mac OS side.. and will slow TM as it needs to backup that partition everyday for no purpose.. TM cannot see the files inside it to backup just the changes.
You need to backup windows from windows. Use MSbackup to external drive.. if you have pro or ultimate versions you can backup to network drive. But MSbackup is a dog.. at least until the latest version it cannot restore the partition without first loading windows. There are about a zillion backup software versions for windows.. look up reviews and buy one which works for you. I use a free one Macrium Reflect which does full disk backups and is easy to restore.. to do incremental backups though you have to pay for it. -
How do i set up/configure time machine and my first time capsule ?
I want to set up my time machine. When I click at the top of my toolbar it says time machine not configured.
When I turn time machine on through system preferences/time machine - it then prompts me to set up my first time capsule.
When I press 'select back up disk' it prompts me to a page where I cannot 'use disk' I can only click on cancel or 'other time capsule'.
When I click on 'other time capsule' I get taken to a screen with a globe on it and although it says 'internet connected' it also says 'no airport base stations have been found'.
How do I do up time machine/set up my first time capsule ?See KB Articles;

Hi, I'm trying to set up my Time Machine, but I get this message: The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again. how to resolve?
Did you reboot the TC? That is always the first step.
Reboot the whole network if that is not enough.
If you still have issues.. come back to us but generally the best way is to factory reset the TC and start over.
We need a bit more info on the whole network layout and what OS you are running. What model TC you have?? -
HT3275 I can't unlock my setting to allow Time Machine. How do I fix this?
I can't unlock my setting to allow Time Machine. How do I fix this?
What happens when you click the LOCK? You should get a prompt asking for account name and password that has Administrative Priveleges on the Mac. Sometimes this prompt window is hidden behind other open windows.
Perhaps you are logged into an account with even more severe restrictions set by another administrator suing Parental Controls.
Can you unlock any other preferences in System Preferences ? A good think to try would be unlocking security and privacy settings.
Hope this helps. -
Can I set up my time machine to back up wirelessly WITHOUT hardwiring it directly to Ethernet?
Can I set up my time machine to back up wirelessly WITHOUT hardwiring it directly to Ethernet?
Indeed you can, but I don't recommend it unless you live miles from the closest neighbor with WiFi. Your mileage may vary. I live in a suburban neighborhood with 32 other wireless routers (at last count) visible from my desktop. I've never encountered an error with networked Time Machine backups while using a wired Ethernet connection both from computer to router and router to Network-Attached-Storage hard drive. (USB and FireWire-connected drives also perform flawlessly. Can't speak to Thunderbolt because I don't own a Thunderbolt drive yet.)
When I attempted to use wireless Ethernet Time Machine backup FROM the same computers (a mid 2007 MacBook OS X 10.6.8, and a mid-2011 iMac OS X 10.8, 10,9, 10.10) TO the same NAS hard drive (a 2GB Lenovo/IomegaEZ), I'd get notices every few weeks that after the backup verification, Time Machine needed to begin a fresh backup. When this happens, it deletes all the old Time Machine backups. So I never had a backup more than a couple of weeks old. With my wired connection, my oldest Time Machine backup is now about a year old, from when I first acquired the NAS drive and attached it with wired Ethernet. -
I backed up my system using 10.6 Snow Leopard's Time Machine to an external hard drive. I did this because I purchased a new internal hard drive to upgrade my 2007 White Macbook from 80GB to 320GB. When I installed the new hard drive, I installed 10.4 (Tiger) and then 10.5 (Leopard) and once Leopard was in I tried to use Time Machine to restore my backup from 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and received a kernal panic screen directly after the bootup.
The screen had code asking for 10.6, so does this mean that the computer is searching for Snow Leopard? If so, how can I do this? Will a bootable drive with Snow Leopard on it be able to solve the issue or will I somehow need to find a way to wipe out this new hard drive?
-SteveBooting From Snow Leopard Installer Disc
1. Insert Snow Leopard Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
Drive Preparation and Installation
1. 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 Partition 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.
7. After formatting is complete quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard. -
Time machine Deleted old computer backups
Hey,
I have been using a mac pro for about a year and a half now and as all computers get it has become slow and full of garbage. So i used my time machine back up and successfully backed up all my files. I put in the OS disk and wiped the computer clean and reinstalled the OS. I plugged the time machine back up in and began to copy over only the files that i wanted. A few days later I had not yet copied over all of the files that I needed, i was prompted me to set up this computer with a time machine back up. I began the process thinking that it would create the backups in a new file on the drive or append it to the current list of back up images. It stopped half way though saying there was not enough free disk space. on the 1 TB HD there was only 5 GB remaining. So I just canceled it and was going to finish copying over all of the files i wanted and they delete the old backups. However when I went to get my old backup files, they had all been deleted.
I was using this hard drive to store other media files as well as time machine backups. taking the HD into the local computer shop i was informed that that is a terrible thing to do and perhaps the reason that my backups have been lost. the tech said there was nothing to be done but reformat the drive and start again. I am hoping this is not the case. the drive still says there is only 5GB of free space however I can only fine 300GB of files on the drive. so i believe that the files are still there. Does anyone know a solution to this issue. There are many valuable things on this hard drive that i would hate to loose.
I have tried holding the option key and clicking on the icon to view other backups, but my original backups are not there.
Thanks in advance.Before I make any reply, note that you are responding to a topic that has been inactive for more than two years, on a system two versions out of date. In the future, you would do better to start your own topic in an appropriate forum, specifying what system you're running and what hardware you're running it on, among other things.
this exact thing happened to me as well and I must say that I find it totally unacceptable...
Well, without more information, it's impossible to say what might have happened or how you can recover. You may find some answers on Pondini's excellent site:
http://pondini.org
However, it's important to understand that this may or may not have anything to do with Time Machine. Perhaps your backup drive is dying, perhaps its directory structure became badly corrupt, perhaps one of any number of other things could have happened. Because there is no such thing as storage that is completely stable, it's important to keep more than one backup, as noted previously on this topic.
Carbon Copy Cloner seems like a much better solution at this time.
Carbon Copy Cloner is an excellent solution. Is it better? No. It is simply different, and that makes it better in some aspects and worse in others than Time Machine. The best backup strategy will involve two different backup programs. I frequently recommend using both Time Machine and CCC. I use TM with a Time Capsule for one backup, which has certain advantages over CCC. I use CCC for a couple other backups, one of which is in a safe deposit box at all times, and that has some advantages over TM. Using both, with multiple backups, means that I'm extremely unlikely to lose much data, if any at all... unless a meteor hits and destroys both my home and my bank, in which case I've got bigger problems!
Anyway, with regard to recovery, take a look at Pondini's site. If that doesn't help, or you need assistance with something, start your own topic in the appropriate forum for your system and provide additional details that may help us better assist you. -
Time machine does not recognize backups
I need to do a restore because after a logic board replacement my apps are not showing as registered, in other words they are all asking for serial numbers. I would like to see if I can use time machine to restore these apps. I don't want to do a full restore using the OS X install CD because it says it erases the contents of the volume. I'm assuming that means teh system and apps will be restored but I'll lose my files.
I can;t get time machine to recognize backups and I found this...
Symptoms
In the Mac OS X 10.5 Time Machine "time travel" window, past backups may not appear if your computer name includes certain characters.
Products Affected
Resolution
Check your computer name in Sharing preferences. Make sure the computer name only includes ASCII characters from following set and is not blank (no matter which Mac OS X language version you are using):
0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
so I changed my computer name accordingly but the backup folder in Backups.backupdb still has the old name with a character not allowed. Nothing I do to change priveleges allows me to rename the folder!
Advice needed! Thanks!It is not a simple matter of the computer name. A simple rename of the backup doesn't do it. It my be necessary but its not the obstacle.
The MAC address of the old board is in the Extended Attributes (EAs -"invisible" metadata) for the old board backups and the MAC address of the new board is in its EAs. If they MAC address in the EA doesn't match the MAC address of the machine that Time Machine is trying to backup it won't do it and it will start a new backup. That certainly appears to be the situation you face.
You can see this by a simple check in terminal. Below is a sample I have two machines name Juvenal and Pliny. The xattr command with the -l option lists all the extended attributes of a file. For the backups of my systems it returns a value that is, in fact, the MAC address of that machine. If the MAC address of the target and source don't match Time Machine won't do the backup and will start a newbackup'
~ $xattr -l /Volumes/Backup\ of\ Juvenal/Backups.backupdb/Juvenal
com.apple.backupd.BackupMachineAddress:
0000 30 30 3A 31 64 3A 34 66 3A 34 61 3A 66 31 3A 64 00:1d:4f:1a:f4:d6
0010 36 00
~ $xattr -l /Volumes/Backup\ of\ Pliny/Backups.backupdb/Pliny
com.apple.backupd.BackupMachineAddress:
0000 30 30 3A 31 62 3A 36 33 3A 33 66 3A 66 64 3A 37 00:1b:63:3f:fd:76
0010 36 00
The actual path to your backups will depend on your configuration and whether or not the backup is on a locally attached drive or not. Mine - in the example above - are on a TC and the results occur after opening the sparse bundles.
The solution I pointed you do is trying to deal with this and change it so the MAC addresses match.
I agree this is a known problem and warrant an official fix which should not be complicated. -
In Time Machine "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while completing the backup folder
Time machine fails to complete backup
I've been getting the Unable to Complete Backup error message for several days. Last good back up was 11-22-13 at 11:13PM. I am running an iMac with OS-X 10.7.5.
I did the above steps in Console and got a huge string of lines; I tried to edit all repeitious ones that were the same, but still ended up with a lot of lines that seemed to develop more different processes over a few days. Sorry to put all this stuff in here, but I don't honestly know what to make of all of this code language.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Time machine doesn't show backups
So I my logic board died and I decided to reformat my computer after it was repaired just for a fresh start. My time machine has all the backups, however, when I tried to restore from it, i opened up time machine to see that NOTHING was there. I set the drive to be the same drive used before and the drive DOES actually contain all the backups. It's just when i open up time machine to restore nothing is there. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Yes, sorry, I didn't read the initial post carefully enough.
If babolat is still at the restore stage, the best answer is to boot up from the Leopard install disk and choose Restore from a Time Machine Backup from the Utilities menu. This will get the system back where it was and may also associate the backup directory with the new hardware (not totally sure of the latter though).
The backed up data itself can be accessed using the Browse Other Time Machine Disks option in Time Machine. I believe the Migration Assistant approach will work to get the full user across, but will not associate the existing backup directory with the new hardware. -
Time machine has stopped showing backups
Time machine used to show backups back to when the machine was new in November. Now it has suddenly begun to show only today/now.
Regardless of which finder window I have opened, it always goes to 'computer' and shows the external hard drive, 'macintosh HD' and 'network' icons.
If I close time machine and open up the backups on my external hard drive, all the time machine backups are there. What IS going on?!Does this fix help?

WEIRD "Time Machine could not complete Backup" error
So this started back in Leopard 10.5.
I used Time machine once and didn't like it so I turned it off and unhooked the external drive.
Ever since that time, I get a Time Machine could not complete Backup error window that pops up every 2 hours or so it seems.
I updated to Snow Leopard and still got this problem all the way up to 10.6.8.
I have now updated to Lion and I STILL get this stupid annoying error.
My TM is OFF and there are no drives selected anywhere.
What should I do ?Very true, I didn't even tink about that... but.....
I did have TimeMachineEditor but it was already set to OFF.
I also had another program (Time Machine Scheduler) that was also set to off.
****, I would have loved it to be that !!! -
Time Machine Folder Renamed (2) Backups Fail
Hi all,
After updating to Snow Leopard, Time Machine backups would fail with an error (2) displayed by 'Time Machine Buddy'.
On my Time Machine volume within the Backups.backupd folder my computer folder has had "(2)" added to it i.e. computername (2).
When I found this I went straight into the 'Sharing' system pane and change the computer name back to the original name (deleted the "(2)").
This change was not reflected in the Time Machine Backups.backupd folder.
I do not have permissions to change the folder name. I tried adding myself as an owner in 'sharing and permissions' but still could not change the folder name. I logged in as the 'root' user but still could not change the folder name.
Has anyone a solution to this problem other than setting up another external drive? e.g. terminal commands.
Thanks.xccobrien wrote:

Be glad you didn't make that work. Apple puts special "deny everybody everything" permissions on it's backups for a reason: when we mere mortals fool with TM's backups, we can hopelessly corrupt them.

Time Machine reports identity of backup disk has changed
Hello! A few weeks ago I purchased a new 15" Retina MacBook Pro and a new 2TB Time Capsule. Every day or two I get an error informing me that the identity of my backup disk has changed. I finally got sick of this so I turned off Time Machine, deleted the preferences file, wiped the Time Capsule drive, and restored the Time Capsule settings to factory, and started fresh. However, I'm still seeing this error.
Some minor details: The Time Capsule is named "AirPort Time Capsule," as is the volume on it. I initially had a second hard drive at my office configured as a second Time Machine target, but after I started fresh with Time Machine, I didn't set up the second target, and am seeing the same message. I am also using Encrypted Backups.
Any suggestions would be great, I'm not sure if this is a bug in Mavericks, a bug with my Time Capsule, or something indicative of a hardware issue either at my MBP or my Time Capsule.Cody DH wrote:

Any one of those is possible, and you have taken reasonable steps to resolve it. I suggest deleting the following file, which will reset Time Machine. Turn off Time Machine first, and make sure a backup is not in progress.
Triple click to select the entire line, then control-click and select Services > Reveal in Finder. Drag the selected file to the Desktop, or directly to the Trash:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
This will not delete your existing backups.
Turn on Time Machine and reselect your backup volume. The effect of deleting that file will cause erroneous values to be shown in the "backing up xxx of yyy" messages until the subsequent backup.
If this does not resolve the problem contact AppleCare because you should not be having these difficulties.
