Time Machine backups slow down TC internet connection

I'm having a problem with my TC internet connection slowing down dramatically. When I connect my DSL modem directly to my Mini, it's fine. When I connect it to the TC there are big slow downs off and on. I'm wondering if the backups done by TM slow down the internet connection and the network as a whole.

Over ethernet no, it would have almost no effect.. over wireless yes.. it can have a big effect.
How big are the backups generally? These should only be incremental and relatively small.
Measure your actual speed of copying a file to the TC.. if you can put numbers to it, that will help. Use the Activity Monitor and see what is the average speed copying a file or when TM is backing up.
Any improvements to the wireless speed will reduce the time the backup runs and how much time your internet is slow. Wireless is highly range and signal dependent. You might find a network rearrangement where you use the TC close to the Mini can solve the issue.. especially if you can connect to it by ethernet.. and then wireless bridge if you need to.

  • 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:

    And here are the corresponding entries one day later, after the
    25-day "limit" had been reached. Note that it takes about an
    hour to backup a few MB! Larger backups, when I have actually
    been using the computer, can take hours.

    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:

  • Time Machine WIFI slows down and Fine after I unplug it?

    My Time Machine WIFI slows down to an absolute crawl and then after I unplug it and plug it back in, it's back to normal. Can someone help me?

    My Time Machine WIFI slows down to an absolute crawl and then after I unplug it and plug it back in, it's back to normal.
    This is a classic case of the effects of wireless interference from other networks around you. See the link at the bottom for more information about this.
    It might first help to understand why things improve when you unplug the Time Capsule and then power it back up. When you do this, the Time Capsule will scan to find the best available wireless channels to use at the time.
    Unfortunately, other wireless routers are doing the same thing all the time, so after a few hours or a day or two, the channel(s) that the Time Capsule was using become overcrowded and the wireless slows down to a crawl. Cordless phones can also create interference issues for a wireless network as well as any number of other electronic devices.
    Unless you can convince other users around you to turn off their wireless routers, there is not much that you are going to be able to do to come up with a permanent fix. For now, locate the Time Capsule as far away from any outside walls in your home as possible and use the 5 GHz band for as many connections as you can.
    A friend of mine who recently moved into a new apartment complex has the same problem. He has to restart his wireless router at least twice a day, sometimes more on the weekends.  Too many wireless networks.....not enough channels.

  • Is possible to have a time machine backup on an external hd connected to either a primary or secondary router and not have "back to my mac" using 10.7.3?

    Is possible to have a time machine backup on an external hd connected to either a primary or secondary router and not have "back to my mac" using 10.7.3?

    The bottom line is that Apple does not support Time Machine backups at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme. If they don't support their own router, they certainly don't support other routers from other manufacturers.
    Connect the drive directly to the Mac using either USB or FireWire.....or....use a Time Capsule.  Either of these setups will be supported.
    If you want to try the unsupported method(s), you can certainly do so. But, I would suggest that you have a secondary backup plan in place if this is important data that you will be backing up.

  • Time Machine backup on MBA 13" drop connection after a while

    Nov 2010 MBA 13", OS X 10.6.7 (latest)
    2008 Time Capsule, Firmware 7.5.2 (latest)
    Since a while ago, possibly 10.6.7 patch, my MBA has had problems maintaining a wireless connection both to my TC and to an Airport Express that I have, especially when left unattended for 10' or so. My Iphone 4 and a Vista PC on the same network never had a similar problem.
    Genius Bar folks ran hardware tests which showed nothing, then suggested a clean install and app migration (without network settings) which I did. For a day or so my MBA then starting to behave well.
    Since yesterday, when I reinstalled 10.6.7, my MBA doesn't drop the connection, but has another problem. It won't finish its wireless Time Machine backup (3.6GB). Sometimes it can't find the TC disk, others it can. Then it goes ok for a while, even sometimes 2/3 of the way and then drops the internet connection and the connection to TC, but the Airport binding to the TC still shows as active on the MBA menubar. If I turn the Airport interface off and back on again on the MBA, eventually after a while it might find the wireless network again.
    The only other internet-related app running in the background is Skype 5.1.0.914 (latest). Also, TC network channel is not shared with any other wireless close by.
    I strongly believe this is a problem with the latest OS X patch (10.6.7) and MBA/TC combination. Even while it backups ok, it seems that the backup speed is low, which points to some conflict.
    Do other people have the same or a similar issue?  Can Apple Support chime in, since Genius Bar suggestion didn't do much for me?
    Thanks in advance.

    Update:
    Stopping Skype allows backups to run faster and complete normally. In fact Time Machine has never been that fast for me..
    Seems the problem is gone, hopefully this might also help others.

  • Open ports slow down my internet connection. How to close them? What to do?

    My MacBook Pro has massive problems with internet connectivity. At times the connection is blazingly fast, at times unbelievably slow.
    I've spoken to my internet provider who was able to inform me that my computer opens up 500-700 ports which is probably what's slowing down the network connectivity. When I'm online with the MacBook Pro, the web gets unstable – also for other connected devices like iPad etc.
    The web supporter asked me to run an anti-virus scan which I did – with no results. The problem persists. When my MacBook Pro is not online, there are approximately 15 ports open, when I log on the web that number increases to between 500 and 700.
    Is this normal?
    Can anyone tell me how to solve this issue?
    How do I figure out which application opens these ports? (and how to close them?)
    I tried logging into another user account on the computer and the problem seemed to disappear, indicating that it is caused by something run only on my user account.
    Hope someone can help me..

    Open ports don't slow down your computer. The tech support person you spoke to doesn't know what they are talking about.
    Basically, when you are using a web browser, opening a page means that the browser needs to open a connection for each element in the page (e.g., it needs to grab each picture, CSS, and JavaScript file that the page requires). This could be a couple of dozen, or it could be hundreds (and there's no telling what Flash content on the page will do). The browser tries to mitigate things a bit using a cache (you might check to make sure the cache is turned on, but this is the default setting). However, this is how all browsers work and how the whole system is designed to operate. You cannot "close" any ports, and they don't linger open, they remain open only as long as data is being transferred. This is expected and appropriate behavior.
    The most likely culprit is that you are receiving poor DNS service from your service provider. Every time the computer sees an address like 'http://www.google.com', it needs to send out a request to figure out what numerical address goes with the human-readable name. If the DNS service your system is assigned to use doesn't respond lightning-quick, your experience is going to be very sluggish.
    You might want to add an external DNS service to your list of DNS providers. Go to System Preferences > Network, select the network you are using on the left (Ethernet or AirPort), and click the 'Advanced' button. Click on the 'DNS' tab, then press the '+' button under the left panel. I would add the OpenDNS.com DNS servers. Add the following DNS addresses:
    {quote}
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    {quote}
    Click the 'OK' button. And then the 'Apply' button to save the changes.
    That will probably fix the problem. If it doesn't the next most likely issue is either network congestion (e.g., your ISP's network is just too busy; a very common thing for small ISPs and cable Internet service), or the remote site that you are trying to contact is simply not performing so well.

  • Time Machine: Backup folder changing size when connected to different computers

    Can someone please help me wrap my head around why the size of my Time Machine backup folder changes when connected to different computers? I tried to be as thorough as possible.  Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.
    I made a backup of my one laptop (MacBook Pro running 10.6.8) before installing Mavericks.  The backup folder size is 258.56 GB and it is on a 1TB WD external.  There are no other computers backed up in this folder.
    Last night, I tried to copy the backup folder to another 1TB WD external and ran into the “you can’t do that” message.  After some researching, I came across articles explaining how Time Machine handles HDs and, in order for me to copy my backup folder, the drive I want to copy the folder to needs to have the “Ignore ownership on this volume” deselected.
    Okay, so here is my situation: I have the “Ignore ownership on this volume” deselected and journaling is correct on the drive I want to copy the backup folder to.  So I can continue working on my laptop, I want to use a different computer to copy the backup folder from one HD to the other.  The problem I’m having is each computer I own is showing me a different backup folder size O.o.
    (1) The computer I want to use – a Power Mac G5 Quad running 10.4.11 (non intel) – is showing a backup folder size of 592.7 MB, but the HD shows there is 258 GB being used.  When I drag copy, I only get a 592.7 MB backup folder.  For some reason, the backup folder is the only folder acting this way. I compared other folders from the same and different externals and all the sizes match up perfectly no matter the computer they were connected to. How is this possible?
    (2) My second option - Mac Pro (early 2009) running 10.9.4 – is showing a 256.15 GB backup folder size.  Very close, but not 258.56 GB.
    (3) My last option is to use the computer I’m trying to stay away from, the MacBook Pro running 10.6.8.  This is the computer I backed up and is showing me the correct folder size = 258.56GB.  As I mentioned, I'd like to work on my laptop while copying the backup folder using one of my other computers.
    I am able to drag and drop from each computer, but the folder size depends on the computer I’m using.  I don’t understand why I can't do a simple drag and drop of a 258 GB folder.
    Many thanks!!

    The directory files that you are seeing are not real. They are links to the actual backup files that are stored in a hidden directory on the drive. If you were to look at the same drive on a pc, you would see the folders and you would a list files that are in the folders but the files would all be 0 byte files and Windows will tell you the file is empty because there is nothing there but a link which Windows does not understand.
    So the point is you can't just copy the backupd files. The best solution that I know of (and maybe someone else will chime in) for copying them is to mirror the drive with something like Carbon Copy or some other program.
    See this site for more information about time machine and how it works: http://pondini.org/OSX/Home.html

  • Can I perform a Time Machine backup to a USB drive connected to the Time Capsule 3TB

    I would like to perform Time Machine backups to a portable USB drive, to use as an off-site backup copy.   However, when I plug the drive into the Time Capsule (3TB) it isn't seen by Time Machine from any of the computers on my network.  What do I need to do to make this work?

    I'm not sure about whether Time Machine can include a drive that is a month out of date in a normal rotation.
    This won't be a "normal" rotation. Assuming that you have already configured Time Machine on each Mac to back up to the USB drive, when you connect the drive to the Time Capsule, you will need to manually click Backup Now on a Mac to get the backup started. Then, do the same with other Macs that you want to back up.
    You could wait and see if Time Machine will start to back up on its own, but the wait would be unpredictable as far as time was concerned.
    Time Machine will also spend a good deal more time in the "Preparing" stage since it will have to look a month of history on the Mac since the last backup.
    It is set up and recognized in the Airport utility, and mounts normally. I can see the files using finder, but I can't get Time Machine to recognize that it is there and available for backups.
    So, if you open System Preferences on a Mac,
    Then, open Time Machine
    Click Add or Remove Disk
    The USB drive doe not appear as a potential destination?
    Have you restarted both the Mac and the Time Capsule?
    Any recent changes to the Mac.....like installing a new operating system?

  • Time machine backup slow

    A few days ago I upgraded to 10.7.5. Since then I am NOT ABLE to complete a time machine backup. Last run was 12 hours and only 20% of the changes were backed up. In addition suddenly spotlight started to reindex and this also takes forever. Plus an important utility "EOS Utility" for managing pictures coming from Canon EOS cameras don't work any more. As soon as I plug in a camera the application quits.
    All this was running fine before the last minor upgrade!
    What's happening?

    All this was running fine before the last minor upgrade!
    Yes it was. Now it's not:
    time machine slow in 10.7.5
    Time Machine backup very slow in Lion
    Summary: the upgrade broke Spotlight, which manifests itself in absurdly slow Time Machine performance.
    We just have to wait for Apple to fix it.
    Don't know if your Canon EOS utility is related or not. Probably not I would think.

  • Time Machine backups fail after initial drive connection, cannot eject drive

    I have a Macbook Pro 13" Retina Display, 8GB running OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 and have set Time Machine backups to a 1TB WD My Passport.  When I first connect the drive the backup will run fine, but subsequent backups always fail.  In addition I typically cannot eject the drive.  I've scoured online forums and have completely reformatted the drive, and have even deleted some backup settings files from the hard drive, none of these has resolved my issue.

    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 slow

    It is best I describe my setup first.
    I have a mid 2011 iMac and a late 2008 MBP that both backup to Time Machine.
    The Backups are on a HD attached to the iMac. The Hard Drive is partitioned, one for each Time Machine Backups. So the iMac backs up directly, and the MBP backs up over my wireless network, and "through" the iMac.
    This setup has run fine for nearly a Year under Lion. After upgrading to ML on both machines, the Time Machine Back ups on the iMac are fast as before, but the MBP backups are very much slower than before. As I had swapped the HD in the MBP for a SSD about a Month ago, I wondered if all these changes had caused some problem with Time Machine, so I reformatted the MBP backup partition & did a brand new backup. This took about 36 Hours for 90GB, and the subsequent backups still seem slow, though a little better
    I understand the Apple do not encourage this way of backing up, but as the problem did not exist before, any suggestions on a fix, or just a matter of waiting for Apple?

    Take a look over at the Lion discussion area.. there is a huge bug in the Lion update that just came through.
    Everybody is struggling with TM and Spotlight.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3190305?tstart=0
    There are many more threads but at 29pages and counting this is the biggest.. 100,000views suggest a lot of people are in your boat .. if that is of any comfort.
    At least you can sink together!!
    This is what comes of trying to keep two OS up to date at once.. they manage testing on neither.

  • Time Machine backup slow (not first backup) - Why?

    Hi, I recently purchased a new 3TB backup drive to backup my iMac system (10.9.4).
    I set up a Time Machine backup of my system + external HD, and began scheduled backups about a week ago. As expected the first backup took several hours (overnight) since it was backing up  nearly 1TB of data. Subsequent backups were fast and everything seemed fine.
    Then, last night I ran a backup and Time Machine began to copy ALL the data again. The backup took 6-7 hours. Why would it do this if it uses a cumulative system where most of the data is already on the backup drive? Did this occur because I manually started the backup (by selecting"Back Up Now" in Time Machine on the toolbar). Or is something wrong?
    Thanks
    Tom

    Open Time Machine Preferences>click "Select Disk">click on the appropriate TM disk under the bottom window titled "Available Disks." Force a backup and see if it works. If this doesn't fix it reboot your iMac and/or Time Capsule and try forcing a backup again once the iMac and/or TC have fully booted up.

  • Time Machine backup slow in copying phase

    I've had a gander through Pondini's (excellent!) site and other locations, but still can't seem to get TM to backup at a regular pace.
    I've got it connected via ethernet, but with about 500GB to backup and a copying speed that managed to do only 40GB in 14 hours, it's waaaaaay too slow.  Current message says "Backing up: 44.01 GB of 499.82 GB"
    I've done various things like removing Sophos for Mac, relaunching Finder, checking the Activity Monitor to see if there's anything hogging CPU, re-booted my My Book Live NAS and a few other things besides.  Nothing's helped.  Below is a copy/paste of details from EtreCheck.  Can anyone help?

    In case it's useful to someone who stumbles on this some time in future, I had another look at Pondini's site and found mention of TechTool Pro causing issues, of which  I'm running v7.
    I went into System Settings/TechToolProtection and Disabled protection features.  After a minute or so, I got a bump in speed, with TM now copying a GB every 4 - 5 minutes.  Still very slow, but something of an improvement.

  • Time Machine Backup of external hard drive connected to IMAC

    I have an external hard drive connected to my IMAC. I also have a 2TB Time Capsule connected to my network. I store all of my video (both events and projects from imovie) to the external hard drive to save space on the IMAC. Does the Time Capsule backup this external hard drive? When I open Time Machine I don't see where the external hard drive is backed up? The drive is formatted MAC OS extended (journaled).

    nujac,
    Time Machine backs up all locally attached drives unless you specifically exclude them in System Prefenences > Time Machine > Options.. icon.
    You should be able to see this in Finder, enter TM and highlight the external drive. Click back to a prior date. Sometimes it takes a little while to fully populate the display since it's reading across the network, give it a few minutes.
    Regards,
    Captfred

  • Can I use Time Machine wirelessly without having an internet connection?

    I originally bought my time capsule and backed up my Mac when I had access to a Wireless Internet connection. I had no problems with it and it ran beautifully, just like Apple promised. I have now moved and no longer have access to an Internet connection except through a dongle. I want to use the TC as a wireless backup and printer access as I used to but am having problems connecting to it in the same way I used to when I had an Internet Connection. Does anyone know if it can be used in this way and if so do I have to change any of the settings that I have on my TC? I just assumed that I would be able to move the TC and plug it in and my Mac would connect as it always used to. Any ideas?

    If this is so, how do I get my Mac to connect to my TC?
    You most likely will need a WiFi router to assign IP addresses to your equipment via DHCP. It's just that the router is not plugged into the internet. Basically you have a private LAN, wired or WiFi.
    I presume you meant TimeCapsule, not TimeMachine.
    FYI: There is a separate forum for TimeCapsule here:
