The space required for backup suddenly doubled

I'm running TC to backup my Macbook Pro (400GB in use of 500GB HD) and an external USB Drive (1TB in use of 2TB HD) since march this year.
The Space required on the TC (3TB) has been roughly 1.6 TB an didn't change much over the months.
A few days ago, TC reported it has deleted all backups prior to September because of low Space. Free Space on the TC is now only 750GB.
The Data on the USB Drive has not changed and nothing significantly on the Macbook.
Any ideas what's going on?

Alright, so FileVault is not enabled and you see 1 sparsebundle on the Time Capsule's drive. Are you able to open this sparsebundle by doubleclicking?
If you can, you should either see a "time machine"-drive appear on your Desktop, a "Time Machine"-drive in your Finder underneath "Devices" (or both)
If you browse around your back-up this way, you should chance upon a list of folders with date-notations. Is there a file called something similar to "inprogress"? If so, this is an incompleted back-up. If Time Machine isn't performing a back-up right there and then, this is a failed back-up attempt. Does this file account for the extra space?
If the file is small, you can simply trash it without consequence. If it's huge, you'll experience trouble emptying your trash in the future. If so, let us know and we can provide a Terminal-command that can do the job.
If you can't open the sparsebundle, let is know the error.

  • What are the space requirements for creation of a Oracle database.

    Hi,
    How much space do we require to create a database, say the data
    size is 2GB.., is there any estimate like the space should be 3
    times or 4 times of the data size..?
    Regards,
    G. Rajakumar.

    It really depends on how you set up your tables. Storage
    parameters, block size, etc etc.

  • What are the disk space requirements for CC2014?

    Yes, Adobe has the system requirements for each INDIVIDUAL app in CC2014 listed, but they're all listed separately. Since I'll be installing the entire suite on my new machine, I'd like to know the disk space requirements for the ENTIRE suite.
    Thanks

  • This PC does not meet the minimum requirements for this version of iTunes

    Trying to update my iTunes, the installer gives the error message:
    "This PC does not meet the minimum requirements for this version of iTunes"
    I have gone through the procedures listed in the support section, and have completely removed all Apple software, deleted the file folders etc etc.... still no joy.
    This is most annoying as I've just received my brand new iPhone 6+ and I was trying to backup my old device to iTunes so I could restore it onto the new phone and get using it today.  Hacked off big time :-\

    Well I've eventually managed a work-around.  Ver. 11.5.1 was no good because it wasn't compatible with my iphone 5, next one wasn't compatible with my iphone 6+, eventually got 11.4 installed so I could back up my old iphone 5 to it, then restore that backup onto my iphone 6+, which then wasn't up to date with the current iOS so I had to do that before it would sync my apps.
    What a ball ache.
    If someone would kindly let me know when the latest iTunes works again I's appreciate it, until then I'll have to stick with what I've got.
    I need to start again with my music collection, re-import everything and get it on my iphone, because I had to delete it all a few months ago when iOS updated because it didn't have enough storage space on the device!  Somehow lost it all off my iTunes in the process!
    TBH I've always found the Apple system hideously complicated and infuriating when it doesn't work properly.  Instead of making it more and more complex it needs simplifying and making fool-proof so people don't have to go through all this BS just to use their **** phone!

  • Error - The software required for the ipod is not installed correctly.  Please reinstall itunes to install the required sotware

    When trying to load music from ITunes to my ipod I receive the error "The software required for the ipod is not installed correctly.  Please reinstall itunes to install the required sotware"
    What should I do to correct the error? 

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies. The notes below the box include tips on removing troublesome components.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Does not meet the system requirement for installing BB App World

    I bought a Curve 8520 in Singapore yesterday. When i tried to download App world into this phone, it says "my phone does not meet the system requirement for the software".  does it refer to hardware specification or the BB O/s version on the phone. How can fix it because being able to use App world is one of the purposes that i buy a BB.
    Also, How about MS Live Messenger , facebook ?  Do I need to install them seperately through App World?
    Please help!

    Hi there!
    Please see these links for reference:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/appworld/download.jsp#tab_tab_system_requirements
    http://www.blackberry.com/app_includes/devicesoftware/appworld/appworld_availability_en.html
    A key component in accessing AppWorld is your carrier -- if they are not delivering it, then you can't get it. If you don't have an adequate plan from them that incudes it, then you can't get it. Hence, if you meet the hardware requirements AND it is available in your country, then you need to contact your carrier to find out how you can get it via their network.
    All that said, AppWorld is merely a storefront, vending apps developed by others...there are many other storefronts available that don't have the same restrictions.
    Good luck!

  • Anybody know whats the system requirement for installing SAP in my home pc.

    anybody know whats the system requirement for installing SAP in my home pc. I have p4 processor with 1 GB Ram. I can increase the ram to 2 GB.  Please help

    Hi friend,
    Check your RAM , even for 4.7 version you need 1gb ram for better speed, 80gb sap only will occupy, for other storage you need to maintain another hard disk, or add new hard disk with your existing hard disk to make it 120 or 160, if its 6.0 then sap only occupies 6.0, then you need some more space for additional data, you cant browse internet on sap-server (which you installed), for internet and general purposed you need to seperate the hard disk, in case of 6.0 and you want to use both internet and sap you need to have 240-300GB HDD & 2GB ram, inter core2duo processor, 3.15ghz processor etc...and if its 4.7sap and other Operating system you need to have minum 160GB hard disk and 1gb RAM for better speed and access...
    clarify if any doubts are there, system performance improves with good RAM memory...
    reward if helps

    iCloud doesn't give you more storage on your device, it only gives you more storage in iCloud to sync data, store your backups, etc.  If you're running out of space on your iPad you'll have to delete some data off your iPad to free it up, such as syncing some of your music or other media off your iPad. 
    You can check how much free space is available on your iPad by going to Settings>General>Usage and looking at the Available number at the top.

  • What are the settings required for QM in procurement

    Hi Team,
    What are the settings required for QM in procurement. I have  set indicator for QM in procurement in QM view in material master.
    I am not clear about  following fields to be maintained in QM view.
    QM Control Key
    Certificate type
    Target QM system
    Tech. delivery terms Indicator.
    Please suggest me in which case to be used this fiels. Is it relivant to Quality Certificates.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    All meaning are
    QM Control Key :
    If you activate the indicator for QM in procurement in the material master record at the client level, you must also store a control key at the plant level for quality management in procurement.
    Certificate type :
    Certificate types applies to the Certificate processing in procurement  &  Certificate creation
    Target QM system :
    whether the vendor's verified QM system, according to vendor master record or quality info-record (for a combination of vendor/material) meets the requirements for QM systems as specified in the material master
    -  If you activate the indicator for QM in procurement in the material master record at the client level, you must also store a control key at the plant level for quality management in procurement. If you want Procurment control then accordingly define Control Key.
    -  If you want Vendor's perticular certificate for Material then you have to define Certificate type.
    Also, you have to maintain Material, Vendor's Info record at plant level.
    Thanks,
    JM
