Time Machine backup taking forever after 10.6.2

After installing 10.6.2, Time Machine is taking ages to back up 3.2GB to my USB external drive. It is taking so long, in fact, that it has not done a single backup since I installed the latest update on November 9 — my computer did not stay up and on long enough for it to complete one back up. Today, it has been running non-stop for some ten hours and has so far done 104 MB of the 3.2GB. This is crazy. It did happen in the past that backups took a long time after a major update, but never this long.
Everything worked fine before the 10.6.2 update. Is anyone else having similar problems?

Ok, so here’s what happened since the last post.
I did what you recommended: had the external hard drive “repaired” (the disk utility said it was ok), and started the backup again, and again it was excruciatingly slow (it had backed up 40MB after five hours or so).
At that point I decided to erase the backup volume and start anew (after formatting etc). But again it got stuck after backing up 3.5GB out of 180GB. The Time Machine widget said “Bulk setting Spotlight attributes failed” and “Waiting for index to be ready”. I again stopped the backup and did what your guide recommended. I excluded the backup volume from Spotlight and restarted the process. This time it worked. The backup was complete in reasonable time and has been working fine since.
The only problem is Spotlight. After the backup, I removed the Time Machine volume from the “do not index list”, but Spotlight does not seem to have responded. It either has not indexed the backup volume or is not admitting it: searching for anything inside Time Machine always returns “no results”.
Thanx a lot for your help. If you can give me a hint on how to get Spotlight working again, I’d be really, really grateful.

  • Time machine backup takes forever after full restore

    My HD went haywire yesterday but luckily I was able to restore everything from my backup (and the Mac even got a speedier, yay).
    But for some reason I can take new backups. Time machine works forever, seemingly want to replace most files on the backup (250 GB, 500000+ files) and have now for more than 12 hours stood at “44 MB backed up”. The problem repeats itself when I stop and retry the back up procedure.
    I have tried to create a new back up on the same Time Machine drive but I am unable to rename the old “backup.backudb” folder, so thats not a solution.
    ANy ideas?

    After a restore Time Machine will back up everything again.  Because of that, if possible the initial backup should be done over Ethernet, not Wi-Fi.  See item D3 on this post.

  • First Time Machine Backup Taking Forever

    I'm backing up my Mac for the first time using a WD My Passport Ultra. When I initially tried to back it up, it had finished like 1GB in like 2 hours, so I restarted my computer to try it again. Once I started the backup again, it started off much faster, about 2.5GB in 15 minutes, and it gave me an estimate of 11 hours to complete, so I left it overnight to finish, but after 12 hours, I woke up again to find that only 12GB in total had been backed up. Why am I having this problem?
    I have also tried backing up using the WD Anywhere Backup software, that runs really well to about 60% or so, before it freezes on one file. Is my backup deffective? I had a similar problem backing up my Mac with another WD backup and this is actually my free replacement, so I'm not sure if like WD is maybe not working with my Mac?

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes.) You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard."
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamp of the last "Starting" message that corresponds to the beginning of an an abnormal backup. Now
    CLEAR THE WORD "Starting" FROM THE TEXT FIELD
    so that all messages are showing, and scroll back in the log to the time you noted. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the text field.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Time Machine backups only work after restart

    Hi
    Getting frustrated as Time Machine backups only work after a restart. Work for a few hours and then get stuck with Backing up: XXMB of XXGB. I have left it on this for many hours ie overnight without completion
    I have a Mid 2014 MBP 13 in running 10.10.2
    I backup onto an external USB via a hub.
    Things I have tried with review of Pondini great site which has helped with different TM backup problems.
    Disk permissions and repair of SSD on MBP (were errors but did not solve issue)
    Direct USB connection
    Backup via Airport Extreme
    Re-index spotlight
    Reformat USB disk
    New USB disk!
    Below is log (backupd filtered) of latest backup attempts including final completed occuring after restart.
    Any help gratefully received

    Backup completed successfully.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
    You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. 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 and start typing the name.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
    [Process started]
            Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
            Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
            The test results are on the Clipboard.
            Please close this window.
    [Process completed]
    The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
    Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
    12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

  • Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    I had the same problem due to the Fire Wire port.  Apple tested it told me it is OK!, I tried a new cable, and have tested both ports on my back up device.  I find it strange that as soon as I installed Mavericks.  The drive does work using USB.  It could be a coincidence, I don't absolutely know at this point, my back up drive ports could stop working, but I doubt it!

  • My Time Machine Backup Stays Forever

    My Time Machine Backup Stays Forever, it says backingup and no progress, some times indexing stays a whole day ??!!

    Were you able to back up before, or is this a new setup? 
    What are you backing-up to (external HD, Time Capsule, or what)?
    It sounds like the backups may be damaged; try repairing them, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

    It looks like it's a problem with the Indexing.  I'm in the process of doing a verification now, but is there anything else I can do to get it back to the 5 minutes or so it takes?  If you care, here is a code from a more successful backup that didn't take nearly as long.

  • Time Machine backups slowing down after 25 days

    I am experiencing a peculiar kind of behaviour from Time Machine under
    Mountain Lion (10.8.2). In the multiple threads on Time Machine issues,
    I could not find this exact problem described so I am wondering if
    anyone else has seen the same thing or even has a solution.
    Like for many others, the basic symptom is that Time Machine becomes
    extremely slow. In my case this always happens about 25 days after the
    last reboot. I am using a Mid 2010 27-inch IMAC and a Mid 2010 Mac Pro,
    both connected to a Time Capsule via ethernet. Both are showing the
    same behaviour.
    Originally I was letting Time Machine do its regular hourly backups,
    this has now been changed to twice a day using TimeMachineEditor. The
    change has made no difference, backups are still getting slow after
    25 days. This is accompanied by kernel_task gradually ramping up
    its CPU usage, from below a percent to several percent.
    Here are the backupd entries from a "normal" backup:
    This takes 3-4 min, which I find tolerable - although I
    am always surprised by the rather large number of files that
    are backed up even if the machine has remained idle:

    I have now rebooted the machine, and things are back to normal.
    In about 25 days, I fully expect that things will start to grind to
    a halt again. On the MacPro, which has now been running for 16
    days, things should be fine for another 9-10 days.

    These are the messages from the first slow backup. This one was only marginally slower than a normal backup, but a sure sign that things were going awry nonetheless:

    The message at 19:01:11 about mds not responding seems to be related to this. I have seen that a few times during these slow backups, but not otherwise.

  • Time Machine Restoration Taking Forever

    For a little about my setup I have 2 2TB Time Machine's in the basement. One is acting as my router as well, the other is just for backups. I also have an airport express in the living room acting as a Wireless Access Point for the DVR and a network range extender.
    My iMac connects to the network via ethernet cable to a 10MBPs/100MBPs switch in the basement that the TC Router connects to. Everything else in the house connects wirelessly.
    So recently the 1 TB HD in my iMac was replaced by the nearest authorized service center under Apple's recall or whatever you want to call it. I got the machine back about a two weeks ago or so, and stared installing the OS (the install disk I have is Snow Leopard although I had updated to Mountain Lion). During the course of the install I was given the option of restoring from a Time Machine backup so I chose that option.
    The latest backup on one of the TC's was 12/2011. So I figured I had the wrong TC, went back and chose the other. This TC did not give me the option of which backup I wanted to use so I figured it must be the most recent. Hit continue and it seemed to start the restore process. After approximately 8 days the progress bar was only at 50% and seemed hung up. I let it be for a couple more days and still seemed hung up.
    So here I am today, typing this on my MBP and trying to figure out what to do. I forced a shutdown of the system and re-booted with Snow Leopard disk installed and did a clean install. I go into finder and I can see my previous user account, but I can't logout and login back in as that user because the password is now not the same as it was prior to the HD replacement.
    Also during all of this I changed my network around. The NetGear router I was using would not play nice with the Airport Express, so with Tech Support's help I swapped to the TC as the router. During that process both TC's had to be reset.
    Currenty Finder is trying to connect to the TC with what I assume is the latest backup, I guess I will just let it go and see what happens.
    EDIT: well after about 10 minutes, the backup folder opened, I selected 'Latest' and now I get a pop-up "Connecting to server" and above the progress bar it says "Resolving alias to . . . ". The names of the Time Capsules were changed as part of the TC restoration when on the phone with Tech Support so maybe that is it?
    I would appreciate any help.

    Well finally got it back up and running. Ended up hooking the TC with the older backup from 12/2011 directly to the iMac, booting form my SL disk, and then restoring from the TC.
    This brought my OS up to Lion.
    I then made a Lion boot disk, booted into that, and was able to restore to Mountain Lion from the latest backup on the other TC.
    All I can figure is that for some reason Snow Leopard wouldn't let me restore to an image made from Mountain Lion?
    Lesson learned is to have a boot disk. I now have an optical Mountain Lion boot disk, and a boot disk on a flash drive in case or the other fails.

  • Will Time Machine backup still exist after fresh install of Lion?

    Hi all. I have a MacBook Pro and I've come to the conclusion that I need to do a fresh installation to solve several problems I've been having. My question involves my Time Machine backup. I have a complete, current backup on a USB drive.
    After I do the fresh installation, rather than copy everything from the backup (and possibly bringing the problems with it) I would like to just selectively restore certain things. I know how to do all this.
    The question I have is, after I set up my new system, what will happen if I activate Time Machine and point it to the same USB drive that has my current backup? Will it erase the backup, or will it create a new backup alongside the old one (there's plenty of room on the drive) or will it simply append the backup, treating it just like a new checkpoint in the incremental backup? I guess I'm hoping for the third option, because then I would be able to go back into Time Machine in case I forget something or want to copy something from my old system, even after I finish setting up the new one.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    When you erase a drive, it gets a new UUID (Universally Unique IDentifier).  That's what OSX uses to keep track of drives, not their names.  So it's treated as a different disk.
    If you do a full system restore, or use either Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant to transfer the data from your backups, that leaves a "trail" that Time Machine uses to figure out what's happened, and "associate" the "new" drive with the old backups.  The next backup will be only an "incremental" one, of what's new or changed, and the new and old backups will all be treated as if they'd been done from the "new" drive.
    However, if you restore things "piecemeal," there's no trail.  Time Machine will make a new, full backup of the "new" drive.  You can still see and restore from the "old" ones, via the procedure in #E3 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    But if you use the exact same short user names (home folder names), then you may be able to force Time Machine to "associate" the "new" drive with the old backups.  See #B6 in the Troubleshooting article for instructions.

  • Time Machine backups taking extremely long time and disrupting other computing activity

    I have an iMac running the latest version of Lion (10.7.4) and which I have upgraded to a one terabyte hard drive and full memory capability. I back up to a My Book 2 terabyte external hard drive using Time Machine. My iMac is often very sticky, though I've done most of the diagnostics I know of and preferences etc. are seemingly all OK and fcuk -fs gives a positive result! The Mac is often hard to wake from sleep and in particular seems to spend a lot of time backing up very-very slowly, with the result that it frustratingly seems to be backing up most of the time with the consequent effercts on using other programmes. Also the whole thing seems to grind to a halt after a hard days work with quite a few applications open. I'm wondering what can be causing this and what I can do to overcome this very frustrating and debilitating problem?

    Hi
    I would try the following for now and I am sorry, yes you were clear that it's an external drive.
    Rebuild Spotlight
    -Rebuild the spotlight index as per http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2409 as a first step. Spotlight indexes play a role in healthy backups so this is why this could be a good thing to do.
    - When conducting the next backup, after the spotlight re-index, consider connecting to your mac only the external hard drive and disconnect all other devices to rule out other devices affecting things. I suggest connecting devices back one at a time followed by a triggered backup until the issue fails to reproduce itself.
    General Performance Issues
    - Some performance issues can also be cured through an SMC reset. This article can help in this regard, note that the steps differ depending on the model mac you use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    --In terms of the mac's general sluggishness
    - SMC can help
    - open Activity Monitor and check to see if CPU usage is abnormally high or any particular process is consuming an elevated amount of CPU cycles, see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5146
    Check External HD (backup drive)
    - If you've run disk utility and have done a repair permissions and repair disk as per user "Radiation Mac" then there is no point doing it again but this should just be a reminder incase you missed it.
    -- on a related note to disk utility try;
    1) Mount your external hard drive.
    2) In Disk Utility, locate your external backup drive. Your backup drive should mount in the Disk Utility sidebar when attached to your Mac.
    3) Select your external backup drive.
    4) Click Repair.
    Test Time Machine backups against a different drive
    --If you have a spare hard drive or even a small USB stick, you could back up only a very small amount of data to this second hard drive or USB stick as a test. This article outlines how to exclude from backups, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
    Further Ideas
    Seeing the logs would be useful if the issue persists. There maybe a reason for the issue but it appears only in the logs which we may eventually need.
    I almost forgot
    -make sure everything is uptodate with Apple software/firmware and any firmware for your drive if applicable.
    If anything is unclear, feel free to let me know, I will provide more details.

  • Time Machine backups extremely slow after hard drive replacement

    I'm having trouble with Time Machine backups following a hard drive replacement. The Apple Store replaced my MacBook Pro's damaged hard drive three days ago and I successfully restored my system (OSX 10.6.8) using a Time Machine backup. The computer is running fine now, but ever since the repair my Time Machine back-ups take a very long time (>2 hours per backup, versus 30-60 seconds before the repair). I know that the intiial backup of a new computer can take a while but I'm now onto complete backup #10 since the repair and they are not getting quicker. I'm not adding/changing many files or software in between backups. The backups appear to be successful but the external hard drive and computer fan are running nearly constantly, which is concerning (and annoying). Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks.

  • Time machine backup files disappeared after moving from Osx 10.6 to 10.8.2 .

    I had moved from a 6+ year old iMac to a new one with 10.8.2

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I don't think that they have disappeared. They are just "hidden" in your Time Machine drive because Time Machine detects your old backups as for a different Mac than the one you are using right now.
    In order to see your old Time Machine backups, read > http://pondini.org/TM/E3.html

  • Time Machine backups not available after Lion upgrade

    I just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion a week ago. Today I went to my Time Machine (backups on a Time Capsule), and can't access old files. Past dates are shown in purple, with dates since the Lion update in the usual gray. However, none of them show any files. Any ideas?

  • Why is my Time Machine Backup Taking More Space then my Hard Drive?

    I have a Late-2009 MacBook model with a 250GB hard drive.  My external drive is 1TB.  I use it for Time Machine backups as well as other storage.  My backups on that drive are a bit less then 900GB, which is 90% of that disk.  My hard drive is only 250GB so how is it over 3 times as large?  I would like to have more storage for other files.  What would you recomend doing?  Can I partition the external disk?

    How time machine works is that it makes an initial back up and from there it scans your system for changes.  When it finds a change it adds the changes on top of your current backup. So if you have a folder full of pictures then rename them or change them, etc it'll resave/archive the pictures ontop of what it already backed up.  It doesn't keep a single "state" of backup.  This allows you to "look back in time" and see if you can find something you might have accidentally changed or deleted or etc.  Once the disk becomes full it will delete the oldest backups to keep archiving newer files.
    I would suggest that you partition your external drive to a size that allows you to keep free the desired extra storage space you're looking to use.  For example partition the drive to two 500GB partitions one for storage one for time machine.
