TC initial Backup: 46GB System: 53GB Problem?

I did not exclude anything. But still there is gap between the size of my system and the initial backup.sparesbundle. 53Gb:46Gb.
How can this be?

That seems somewhat odd to me. Based on my stats, my initial backup was just a little over 88 GB, and right now, having added some files there is a 88.28 GB on my Mini's physical HD.

  • Time Machine "cleaning up" in the middle of my initial backup

    I am trying to backup using time machine to a brand new external firewire drive that I've just formatted. The initial backup is about 150GB and about 20GB of the way into the backup time machine stops copying and the status window says "cleaning up" and then things seem to hang indefinitely. I've already tried deleting time machine preferences, what's going on here and how can I fix?

    Well deleting stuff won't help in the middle of a backup. Cancel the backup and re-prep the backup drive as follows:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. 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. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. 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 Options 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.
    Reconfigure TM preferences to select the backup drive and configure your backup preferences, then let TM do its work.
    Note that before performing a backup you should be sure that the system you are backing up is clean. So I would consider some basic things:
    A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X 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. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    B. Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Backuplist
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    iBackup
    JaBack
    Silver Keeper
    MimMac
    Retrospect
    Super Flexible File Synchronizer
    ynchronizer
    SuperDuper!
    Synchronize Pro! X
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.

  • Windows 7 Backup "The System cannot find the path specified" - Error Code 0x80070003

    I'm having severe problems backing up my own machine to a share on our
    FILE-SERVER as \\FILE-SERVER\Backup\
    I have already backed up another PC successfully using exactly the same settings I have used on my own PC. So I presume it is nothing to do with the
    FILE-SERVER or the Backup settings.  It has to be something to do with what I'm trying to backup from my machine.
    First some background.
     This exercise all began when the Windows Server 2008 r2
    O/S fell over on one of our Servers. I tried reinstalling the O/S several times, without success. In the end I grabbed another drive and re-built the O/S. I then had problems promoting it to a Domain Controller on the network.
     In the end I renamed the Server from FILESERVER
    to FILE-SERVER.
    We routinely share four folders on what is now
    FILE-SERVER:
    \\FILE-SERVER\Backup
    - a Folder where backups from all other machines are written, so that they will be backed up with the Server
    \\FILE-SERVER\Company
    - holds all our Company data
    \\FILE-SERVER\GEM
    - this is the application folder for our own database
    \\FILE-SERVER\Install
    - holds all Install files for the software we use
    These are all held on a RAID 1 Array that is separate from the System Disk that fell over.
    Prior to the Server falling over, I had Backup working fine on my machine. 
    On my Notebook PC I had made these shared folders 'Available Offline', so that I still had everything available to me when I was out of the office. They were
    of course shared as \\FILESERVER\... not \\FILE-SERVER\...
    Having got the Server up and going again, I began to get the Backups from the Windows 7 Client PC's going again.
     I started with a Desktop, which of course did not have any Offline Files.
     That proved relatively straight-forward.
    I then started with my machine. Initially I did not make the above shared folders 'Available Offline'. I set up my Backup using exactly the same settings that
    had worked OK on the desktop machine. But when I ran the backup I got:
    The System cannot find the path specified, Error Code 0x80070003
    I tried all sorts of things to get it to work:
    I restored the system to the earliest point possible,
    I ran chkdsk,
    I defragged the drive
    All to no avail, so I tried backing up:
    with and without a system image,
    reducing the backup to a single folder, 
    a single Folder with only one .txt file in it, 
    making the Folders 'Available Offline' again.
    Nothing made any difference.
     In the end I looked in the Sync Center to look at the Offline Files Folder.
     Under Mapped Network Drives I discovered I still had the Files and Folders from
    \\FILESERVER.  In their Shortcut Menu 'Always Available Offline' was greyed out. So I deleted the Offline Copies. This deleted the Files in the Folders but not the Folders.
    Since I could find no way of deleting the old Mapped Network Drives, I decided I'd painted myself into a corner by renaming the Server.
     So I bit the bullet and re-installed my Notebook too.  This did get rid of the unwanted old Mapped Network Drives - BUT NOT THE ERROR!!
    I’ve been through all the troubleshooting procedures in: 
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/629597bb-7be0-455c-b81e-a149472d3f9b/windows-7-backup-the-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified-error-0x80070003?forum=w7itprogeneral
    Method 1
    It had none of the symptoms reported in  
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973455 
    but I scanned for ‘reparse’ points anyway.  Found several “Junction Points” but none that were “Mounted Volumes”, just ordinary ‘File Folders’.
    Method 2
    Check a drive for errors. 
    Looked at: 
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Check-a-drive-for-errors
    Checked
    both boxes.  I closed machine down, to check for errors when it re-started. 
    It didn’t seem to find anything. 
    I say seem, because I did not actually see it finishing checking the empty space, but stages 1-4 found no problems and Windows 7 restarted normally. 
    It did detect 66 ‘Reparse’ Points, which is more than it found when I scanned for them earlier. 
    Method 3
    Yes, I am an administrator or my own machine and, as such, I have ‘Full Access’.
    I downloaded an ran the Process Monitor, filtering for Process Name “Wbengine.exe”, but did dot get a single event. 
    So I’m not sure what’s going on.
    HELP - I'm out of ideas!
    I have a WORD Document that documents all the Settings I've used on both the Server and the Clients, together with the reasoning behind those settings, but
    I cannot find a way of uploading it.

    I am having the exact same problem with Windows 7 Professional. Out of the blue, this issue just started a few months ago when running my monthly Windows Backup where I have used a USB drive for the last 3 years, and never ever had this issue before. Most
    of the solutions listed on the Microsoft websites and answers deal with
    "Restore" functions, not the
    "Backup" itself. I have 3 folders being skipped during the backup.
    So I went and changed the Backup from "let Microsoft choose files, directories, etc" to "Let me choose". I included the files and folders that were being skipped, and ran the "Backup" again, and got the same error message,
    but the files that were skipped the first time were "Backed up" finally. This issue is somehow related to my "Libraries"?
    The 3 backup problems are:
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book Recordings. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book CD Label-Cover Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book MP3 Tag Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Did a "checkdisk" - no problems. Ran a program to fix registry - no problems. All updates up to date. I guess I could eliminate these folders from the Backup folders in the
    Library, and just choose them under the "Users" locations, and be done with it. But I really want to understand this, and fix it. This is within Windows 7 and may be related to Windows Media Player or
    some recent Windows update.  Thanks.

  • Initial Backups Failing

    I've tried to research the answer to this problem, but have found only advice for people who have had Time Machine work correctly for them before, and suddenly stop backing up correctly after a while.
    +My problem is that Time Machine will not complete the initial backup.+ When I set it to backup from my MacBook Pro running 10.5.5 (just upgraded from Tiger a week ago, woo-hoo!) to my FireWire 500GB WD drive, the backup starts correctly. All is fine until it gets to a certain point, typically in the 6-10 GB area of backing up (that is, after backing up about 6-10 GB of data). At that point, an error message pops up, saying the backup could not be completed. If I tell it to do it again, it might back up an additional 4 or 5 GB, but then it stops again, and after that it only gets about 100 MB of additional data backed up before it just stops.
    I have 80 GB of data on my internal drive, and hundreds of gigs free on the external drive, so space is not an issue. When I first encountered this problem, I did some research and found an article on this website by Apple to reformat the external drive. I did so, but it seems to have made no difference. I also later found some advice to, after a failed backup, drag the incomplete backup file from the TM disk to the trash and then start the backup over again, but that did not work either.
    Does anyone know why this will not work for me? I can't even get passed the initial backup, and for me that is a little concerning.

    UPDATE:
    I have been playing around (frustratedly) and I do not think the problem lies in the external hard-drive, but in the internal one. The reason why TM won't back up seems to be because of the files on my computer. I look through the console to find out what files TM stumbled over, and I've begun excluding them as they come up. First it was the system folders, then it was my Aperture library, and now it's my iPhoto library. More specifically, there are data files for specific photos in my iPhoto library that seem to be corrupt. The console tells me that TM stumbled on them, and when I locate the corrupt files in the Finder to delete them, Finder crashes before I can do so.
    I'm becoming very irritated with Time Machine and my computer. Please help me get this to "just work", I know it's probably something I did accidentally that's causing this but I don't know what or how to remedy it.

  • Kernel panic during Time Machine initial backup

    Hi all!
    I've got the Airport Extreme 2009 and external WD My Passport 320GB attached to it via USB and shared to the LAN. While initial backup with Time Machine via WiFi my MacBook Pro gets kernel panic.
    My Passport has been formatted as Extended Journaled Case-sensitive file system.
    Did anybody stumble upon such problem?

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    You need to know that backing-up that way is "iffy" and +*not supported by Apple.+* See Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    Kernel panics are usually caused by hardware problems, but can be software.
    Disconnect all peripherals, except keyboard and mouse. Reconnect one at a time to see if you can find the culprit.
    If that's no help, run the Apple Hardware Test: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509
    And perhaps a heavy-duty memory test, such as the free Rember: http://www.kelleycomputing.com/
    More kernel panic info:
    Apple Support - About kernel panic messages
    Mac OS X Kernel Panic FAQ
    The X Lab - Resolving Kernel Panics
    Apple Developer - Technical Note TN2063: Understanding and Debugging Kernel Panics

    If you still want to back up via the Airport, the first backup will be much faster if you connect via Ethernet.

  • Time Machine Stalls While Performing Initial Backup

    I have a 2008 macbook pro 13" with a 320GB internal HD which includes a Bootcamp partition.  I have been trying without success to do a Time Machine backup on this entire drive.  The Time Machine setup includes a backup of all files with the exception of the Bootcamp partition which is grayed out on the Time Machine setup dialog.  My backup device is a portable usb 1TB drive.  The initial backup keeps stalling after an hour of two with 20GB to 50GB of 243GB backed up when it quits.  Time Machine says "backup failed."  The console logs for the past several failures are below.  Does anyone know what is wrong here?

    Welcome to the Apple forums:
    That last line is the problem AFAICS; you are trying to backup a file or folder that you do not own. "UUIDs don't match..."
    I suggest starting by running DU repair on all HDs and repairing permissions.
    You might also see if you can exclude some suspicious folders or do a binary folder exclusion: ie:
    Exclude half your folders. It you can backup, add half the remaining folders, etc.
    If you cannot backup the first batch, exclude half of that first half until you eventually arrive at the errant folder. Then you can diagnose the cause.
    Usually, however, repairing permissions fixes these kinds of errors.

  • [500gb Time Capsule] Initial Backup ALWAYS Fails

    I picked up a 500gb Time Capsule the other day to be used as my main router in my house and to be my new source for my Time Machine files.
    I began to do the Initial Backup to the 500gb Time Capsule, BUT EVERYTIME I run the Initial Backup it will fail and say "Time Machine Error. Unable to complete backup. A network problem may have interrupted the connection between your computer and the backup volume.".
    And here's the weird part; I also loose all connectivity to the Time Capsule as well. I loose internet, I loose the ability to access the network and when I run the Airport Utility it can't even see the Time Capsule until i restart both my Macbook and Time Capsule. The connection is still there though cause the green light where my network cable is plugged in on the Time Capsule is still lit up.
    I have tried to reset the Time Capsule multiple times, format the Time Capsule HD (multiple times and even wrote all zeroes to the drive), ran the backup over wifi and a wired connection and still nothing works.
    Help please!

  • Time Machine doesn't acknowledge initial backup

    I purchased a Time Capsule and quickly and happily built a new 802.11n home wireless network with it. Yay. Then I hooked up my iMac to the Time Capsule via ethernet to do my initial Time Machine backup, knowing that it would take a LONG time (~400GB). Well, it took about 3 days to complete (which seems suspiciously slow...), but anyway, it finished sometime in the middle of the night. In the morning I looked at the Time Capsule and sure enough, there was the big-*** "sparse bundle" backup. Time Machine seemed to be in the middle of doing a relatively small backup, about 140MB, which I figured were the changes since I began the initial backup a few days before. However, I wished to unplug the ethernet and let it continue wirelessly, so I did so. However, Time Machine seemed to just hang there with the backup no longer progressing. Since I could simply have it redo the backup a little later without any real data loss, I just stopped the backup mid-progress. I unplugged the ethernet cable and the world seemed well. Then I clicked in Time Machine to begin a new backup.
    Of course, I expected this backup to be a rather small one, but I realized that Time Machine was about to begin another ~400GB backup! In fact, there was no information in the "Last Backup" field, so apparently Time Machine could not see the massive initial backup and was about to start all over again. Well, I am NOT about to wait another 3 days for it to do that, especially if the problem reoccurs, so I halted the backup and set Time Machine to "off."
    Now, what to do? Why can't Time Machine see the initial backup? Why is it trying to do another full backup (very little data changed on my system in the 3 days)? Did my stopping the "hourly" backup somehow "break" things?
    Advice? Thoughts?

    I'm not sure how the sparsebundle is identified by the computer, but if it is uniquely identified by the network connection used (ethernet, airport, firewire networking, etc.) then it could very well not identify the previous sparsebundle you made via Ethernet as being the one for your computer via Airport. I dont remember this being the case for me when I had my PowerBook backing up to my PowerMac via both Airport and/or Firewire networking, but I could be wrong...it was a while ago. Even though you seem to want to lean away from this, I'd recommend remaking it and just letting it go. You can use your computer in the mean time and allow the process to run in the background. It will pause and resume as the backup disk is available until the process is complete.

  • Why did my Time Machine backup drive need 712GB for initial backup

    I recently replaced the failing 1TB drive in my wife's old mid-2010 27" iMac with a 2TB drive (OS X 10.9.4, 3.6 GHz, 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3). After bringing all of her data on board, I erased and reformatted the backup 2TB hard drive and initiated a fresh backup using Time Machine. I was surprised to see that Time Machine needed 650+GB for the initial backup. I checked the new HD and sure enough, it reported 652GB of data.
    What puzzles me is that the hard drive has only four visible folders, Applications, Library, System Info and Users Info, holding 15GB, 9GB, 6GB and 30GB respectively -- a total of roughly 60GB.
    Any idea what the additional 590GB of required storage is holding and whether it's necessary? Could there be old data hidden somewhere on the iMac's new hard drive? I've looked at hidden folders and files in the top level folder. There are a couple dozen or so, including one named .DocumentRevisions-V100 (from old Mac).
    However, I can't display the contents of the hidden folders and they won't calculate or display the folder sizes, so all that leaves me a bit in the dark.
    Any suggestions on how to identify and reduce the amount of data I'm backing up? I'm afraid the 2GB drive will soon be overwhelmed with data.
    Thanks.

    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
              iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
    Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
    Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
    Launch the built-in 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 by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • Time Machine locking up on initial backup

    I'm running TM on a G5 XServe, backing up networked student folders. It was working at the beginning of the year, however it has been giving me trouble lately. TM is backing up to a 1TB iSCSI networked SAN unit. Over Xmas, the SAN lost two hard drives and crashed. This is when the trouble started.
    We rebuilt the SAN unit and I got another 1TB iSCSI drive configured for TM. Three times I've tried to get it running and it'll always crash on the second backup (one hour after the initial backup).
    This last time the initial backup was pretty big (462GB I think) and it crashed on the second backup an hour later. But there shouldn't have been any new data as that second backup was at 12:13 a.m. (nobody around).
    Any ideas as to why TM wants to crash?
    Thanks

    This message was last after three UUID's don't match for all three internal drives (but that supposed to be normal for a first backup).
    Correct. So is the "deep traversal" message. Since TM isn't sure what's on the disks with the UUID problems, it has to do the deep traversal, comparing every directory (folder) on your system with it's backups. That is, of course, a lengthy procedure, and the message is not an error message -- it's just to let you know the Preparing phase will be a long one. See #7 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum, for details.

  • Initial Backup with Time Machine Stalls

    I bought a brand new high end external hard drive so that I could use time machine. When I first hooked it, it went through the usual problems, so I came to the forum and reformatted and partitioned my hard drive according to those threads. I tried to do a new initial backup and the backup stalled at 12.87gb of 46gb total. I tried to use the disk repair utility to repair any problems on my original hard drive and it reported nothing wrong. All night, though, time machine would try to make that initial backup and stall at the exact same point.
    Thoughts?

    This was happening to me too. It would get to a certain point and just stall there forever until I manually quit the process using the Activity Monitor. For me, it turned out to be that a certain set of files on my drive had their group set to "nogroup" (these were files generated by an Apache process with MAMP Pro if that makes any difference) and this was causing the backup to fail.
    Basically, what I'd do is try to narrow down where the backup is failing by adding folder to the Exclude list until you get a successful backup, then open up the last folder that it failed with, and start excluding folders in there until you get another successful backup, etc. Basically you're just trying to find the set of files that is causing Time Machine to choke. This is how I ended up finally finding these files with bad owner attributes. Correct the file's attributes and you should be able to do a successful backup. The actual problem in my case was due to the use of MAMP Pro. If that means anything to you, I posted more info here:
    http://mirthlab.com/2008/04/05/mamp-might-break-your-time-machine-backups/
    Hope that helps.
    P.s. Repair permissions is useless in this case.

  • Time machine takes forever on initial backup, progress bar randomly resets

    When I first tried to run Time Machine I was sure that it would be simple, as Apple Software generally is. I was warned by another user that the first backup might take a while, so I began the backup on a Friday night (the day my crispy new external 320GB Seagate drive arrived). When I went to bed it was on around 24GB of approx 65GB of data. When I got up the next morning, it had only backed up 27GB!
    Another problem I had a couple of times was after the backup had been going for 3-4 hours it would reset itself and start all over again! In other words the progress bar got 50% of the way through and then went back to 0%. This was obviously extremely annoying, and prompted me to stop the process, reformat the backup drive and search for some more answers in the internet.
    After a full Saturday of fluffing around, calling my friend who has Time Machine working OK and watching the little blue bar creep along at speeds like 1.5MB/s (according to activity monitor) I finally managed to get it to work!
    I've summarised what I did below:
    _Formatting your Time Machine drive_
    In the Disk Utility, select the drive and choose “Partition”
    Press the “Options…” button.
    Use "Apple Partition Map" partition scheme if the disk will be used with Time Machine and a PowerPC-based Mac.
    Use "GUID" partition scheme if the disk will be used with Time Machine and a Intel-based Mac.

    _Spotlight may interfere_
    Turn off indexing for Spotlight on the Time Machine drive
    In the Spotlight control panel
    Click the privacy button
    Click the + button and choose your Time Machine backup drive
    This will mean that Spotlight will not try to index the drive while the backup is happening.
    _Excluding files_
    In the Time Machine Control Panel
    Click Options…
    Do not back up:
    Press the + button and choose the system folder
    Choose “Excluded all system files “ in the dialogue box that comes up.
    See the following link for more info on this step:

    Are you running it over wireless or ethernet?
    We particularly advise initial backup to be done over ethernet otherwise the job has this tendency not to finish. The fact is wireless has errors.. and error correction doesn't work very well during the initial copying.. TM does a verify of the backup once it finishes.. I think this is the 5sec mark.. and keeps building as it discovers files that don't match. It can also be spotlight indexing.  What it is doing is good.. doing it over wireless is very bad. It has to read both sides.. then compare then decide if there is a corruption to copy the file again.. then compare again.
    It can also be a file is actually corrupt on the source disk.
    My inclination is to kill it. Even if you have to restart from scratch.. over ethernet it copies at about 60GB an hour.. it should complete overnight with hours to spare.
    Do a verify of the source disk before you start. And load in widget to get actual log messages from TM.
    See A1 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Pondini also has some stuff about backups taking far too long.
    See D section in reference above.. also how to cancel a TM backup. (other than turn it off).

  • Time Machine not backing up beyond initial backup on iMac G5

    Hi - hoping someone can help...
    I Have just upgraded to 10.5 and want to use my 500GB Mybook WD drive with Time Machine. When I first step it up it needed to erase the disc to get it into a Mac Journaled format, and then took about 10 hours to do its initial back-up of 230GB. After that it seemed to hang 'preparing' for another backup of over 20GBs... in system preferences had last backup and oldest backup as blank.
    I decided to start again, used disc utility to format the drive and time machine again did a long initial backup, and I left the computer for a while and now it wants to do a second backup of 223GB... and in System Preferences it still shows no oldest / last backup, and when I use Time Machine I can't go anywhere else but 'now'.... any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Cheers Sam

    I am kind of having a similar problem. I am able to back up my computer, but it only backs up 1kb every single time. And when i go to search documents I am not able to find them, I too only have the initial backup, but I am able to go back in time to many days back to look at the same thing over and over again. And every time I use it, while it looks sweet, it proves to be useless. I asked about this somewhere else and someone responded with the comment that time machine was pretty much worthless and has lots of bugs. A guy at the apple store had this same problem on a mac pro. I know I didn't really answer your question, but I guess it give syou a little idea of the problems going on.

  • TM hangs exactly 3/4 the way thru initial backup on G4 Powerbook

    I've tried with two different external drives, one a USB and the other a FireWire. TM hands exactly 3/4s the way thru the initial backup. At first I thought it was the drive, so I tried a FW HD instead. Then that drive hung exactly the same place. So I suspect TM is getting caught up with something on my machine. I installed Leopard as a clean install. How can I figure out what's the problem. I've tried all the repairing of permissions and stuff that I could think of. Any thoughts?

    If you will open Disk Utility, at the bottom of the window, it will tell you how your drive is formatted.
    Select the HD itself, and the last heading is- *Partition Map Scheme:*
    Now select your volume. The second heading is- Format:
    On my backup drive, I use the GUID partition Table and Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and the other half of the drive is partitioned and formatted for MS-DOS (FAT32).
    I have a MacPro 2.66 and I am one of the few who have had ZERO problems with Time Machine. (Knock on wood).
