Time Machine Disk duplication issue...is this normal?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. The image below is what I get when I pick the "Select disk" button in the Time Machine system preference window. It shows my time capsule disk is selected for the backup disk, but then underneath it is the same disk listed as an available disk. I only have one time capsule that I use for the time machine backup. Is this duplicate disk listing normal or is there an issue I need to look at? Do I need to somehow delete one of them by removing the backup disk and then selecting the duplicate available disk to be my backup disk or should I just ignore it?
Thanks again.

This is normal. The second section just lists all available disks, including ones you already use.

  • Time Machine disk and Airport Extreme issues

    I have a portable USB drive I use as my Time Machine disk. It works great, but only when I manually mount the disk.
    I recently got an Airport Extreme, which allows me to mount a disk off of it. So, I figure I'll mount my USB Time Machine disk there so Time Machine backs up hourly.
    Well, the first issue I get is that Time Machine tells me the disk isn't properly formatted! Odd, since I've had it configured via the app for backups. I go into preferences to select a disk, and I choose my Time Machine disk. When I next tried to run a backup, it indicated I don't have enough room on the disk, requiring ~106 GB .... almost as if it thought it hadn't done any backups before and was going to run a full one.
    I dismounted the drive from the Airport Extreme and hooked it back up locally, and I get the same results within Time Machine.
    I also noticed a new file on the root of my Time Machine, with a .sparsebundle extension. Is this related in any way?
    Anyway, what can I do, short of a full reset of my Time Machine disk, to get it working through my Airport Extreme?

    Me again ...
    I hooked up my USB TM disk again to my Airport Extreme. I don't see it as a mounted drive in my Sidebar. However, I see it under the Devices on my sidebar, under "my" computer, then Time Machine Backups, then a backups.backupdb folder.
    To start fresh with TM backups I'll need to erase the drive. From what I see, do I just delete the 'backups.backupdb' folder and its contents?

  • Time Machine Disk - A few 'minor issues'

    Hi All, (note not all caps
    I've had some issues with macs or another over the past week but to cut a long story short, the one that had a 'logic board' issue starting booting up so I took the chance to re-install leopard, but, during the calculating phase when restoring from Time machine the system froze....since then my time machine disk can't be mounted or read in anyway. This is my only backup and contains just about every single movie and picture of my kids from day of birth so...I assume that the many data recovery apps out there would do the trick? or failing that does anybody have any recommendations or actions i could take without spending out too much?
    Thanks all

    hello again, got a copy of boomerang which seems to have listed most if not all files for recovery, so this begs another question, does anybody here know or if speak to apple, do you think it's possible to do a manual restore as it were? I can see all files so can I effectively drag and drop from the disk to the new mac so keeping most of my apps and settings? I guess what would be cracking would be to find out if I could copy the contents to another disk and effectively make a proper time machine disk from the recovered one...which incidently was never erased just fails to mount.
    Any pointers gratefuly received.

  • I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work. Help?

    I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work.
    ^^ that's the main problem. Here's the full history.
    I bought a new 13" i5 MBP, early 2011 edition. I had an old white Macbook 2.14 ghz core2duo on Snow Leopard. I attempted to port over my time machine backup, but encountered problems in that my User was inaccessible from the new computer after the import finished, and I had to go in and change the root password, etc, and for some reason or another, I couldn't install any programs at all from that administrator's account. By "couldn't" I mean I could install them, but upon installation they would never boot. So, I took it to the apple store and did a clean install from the most up to date Lion OSX. Then, I created a brand new admin account, instead of trying to import the old one, and things seemed great. Then, I just imported my old files from the TM backup, but not any system settings, permissions, or user data. Just my Docs, pics, vids, apps, and itunes stuff.
    Here's where things get weird again. I imported this stuff under the name "old", but all of these folders have a red negative sign on them, marking them as restricted. So, from my main admin account, I cannot even peruse these folders. Since I didn't import user data, I can't sign in to the "old" account to change permissions. I already tried to change the permissions from system preferences, but that didn't change anything. And now, for whatever reason, of all the apps that were imported then, MS Office is the only set of apps that does not work. When I click on it, it just says there was a problem and asks if I'd like to send a report to apple. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. I'm an English student, so i really need access to Word. Can anyone help? The Apple store is a major detour for me and would like to fix this issue myself.

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

  • HT3275 Has anyone come across the red "i" message saying "The backup disk image "/Volumes/Chris...(the last bit being) iMac.sparsebundle" is already in use? This has prevented my time machine from backing up from this morning (5th Dec 2012).

    Has anyone come across the red "i" message saying "The backup disk image "/Volumes/Chris...(the last bit being) iMac.sparsebundle" is already in use."?
    As of yesterday (4th Dec 2012) everything was fine, no trouble or problems at all. Wake up this morning, turn on the computer and when it came time to backup itself, the message occurred above and this has prevented my time machine from backing up from this morning (5th Dec 2012) ever since then.
    Everything on my computer is up-to-date but this problem still persists displaying this message practically every hour, on the hour and nothing is getting backedup!
    If you know what is going on and more importantly, how to fix this, I would be indebted to you for sharing your knowledge with me on this subject.
    Thank you.

  • Time Machine, Disk Utility, and clearing out corrupted snapshots

    Hi, all. I've been having some troubling issues with Time Machine and could use your collective insight.
    I have a 500GiB external USB2 disk that I've been using for Time Machine since December (the oldest snapshot in Backups.backupdb is named 2007-12-13-222250). Everything worked fine until sometime in late January, when Time Machine decided to ax 2/3 of my Applications directory. Time Machine's logging is terse, so I wasn't able to determine what caused the corruption. The fact that this error wasn't caught and flagged by Time Machine bothers me.
    Especially because I discovered this in the process of needing to recover from a crash on my laptop's hard drive -- I had to roll back to a previous, complete snapshot to get all my applications back.
    After that I had to engage in some jiggery-pokery to get Time Machine to re-snapshot everything, but things proceeded normally until I received my new copy of DiskWarrior 4.1 last night (although DiskWarrior is an innocent bystander here). I tried to use DiskWarrior to rebuild the directory on the Time Machine disk, but it failed before trying to write anything.
    (For those who care: after some back and forth with Alsoft tech support, we determined this was likely because my Time Machine volume has 6.2GB of catalog data, and DiskWarrior works by rebuilding the directory in memory, so it has to be able to fit the whole catalog into virtual memory.)
    I was a little paranoid that something might be wrong with the disk after that, so I fired up Disk Utility and told it to repair the disk. It churned for about 6 hours and repaired an extraordinarily large number of hardlink reference count errors, but completed by claiming that the disk had been repaired.
    When I next told Time Machine to run, instead of copying over a couple GB of data like it usually does, it started copying 38GB! ***? I took a look at the previous Time Machine snapshots, and discovered that Disk Utility had totally corrupted every snapshot I'd made since last month's fandango. Most of the root-level directories in the snapshots now look like this:
    $ ls -al /Volumes/Time\ Machine\ Backups/Backups.backupdb/xxx.net/2008-03-13-025640/Euphrosyne/

    That is clearly, completely wrong, and it alarms me that Disk Utility could cause so much damage to a Time Machine volume.
    Since I also use SuperDuper! to regularly clone this disk, it's not as big a nightmare as it could be, but this means that I'm going to have to clear out every snapshot for the last month by hand, both because I obviously can't trust them anymore, and because I keep getting messages like this in the logs:

    I'd like to keep the old snapshots if I can. What's likely to happen if I just go and clear out the b0rked backup sessions by hand?
    (Hmm... it appears yes, because I just deleted them all and the disk didn't recover the freed space.)
    Here's the important question: has anyone else had issues using Disk Utility on a Time Machine volume, and does anyone at Apple have any plans to add integrity checking to Time Machine? As it stands, I don't really feel like I can trust it in its present form, as convenient as it is...

    I have trouble with disk utility on my new (1 TB Lacie) as well as on my old (500 GB WD) drive. After doing a backup, du tells me a never ending list of errors like
    HasFolderCount flag needs to be set (id = 599567)
    (it should be 0x10 instead of 0)
    Everything was O.K. before doing the backup; so is the disk to be backupped, according to du.
    Up to now, no other problem occurred, but I´d like to clear this issue before my trust in time machine is restored.

  • Time Machine Disk Crashes Windows

    Hi everyone,
    When booting into Windows, I have been getting a blue screen and crash.  I noticed that this problem goes away when I remove the Time Machine disk from my machine.  The disk is mounted internally in my Mac Pro, so it is a little inconvenent to have to remove it everytime I boot into windows.  Any ideas?
    The same issue was raised here by another user, but no responses, so was hoping that maybe there's an answer now.  Thanks!!

    I bought an AirPort Extreme base station about a month ago. It's currently in bridge mode, connected to my U-Verse residential gateway, and has a 1 TB hard drive attached to it that I use for Time Machine backups.
    I hate to have to tell you this, but 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).
    Every few days, usually overnight, Time Machine will stop working, saying that it cannot connect to the backup disk.
    Yup, that's the sort of thing that happens sometimes in this scenario.
    You might be able to improve that by, of all odd things, changing some names. See #P1 in the same place.
    Another possibility is the external HD going to sleep and not waking up quickly enough. Check with the maker for firmware updates or ways to adjust it's sleep (or "spin down") performance.
    But if I click on "Manual Setup," it will time out. If I try to restart the router from the menu bar option, it will time out. The only way to fix it is to manually unplug the router and restart it that way. Is anyone else having a similar issue, or know how to prevent it?
    That, I suspect, is a different problem (and mostly out of my area).
    But this Apple article may be helpful: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728
    Hopefully one of the networking gurus, such as Tesserax or Bob Timmons, will have more insight.

  • Time machine disk not ejecting

    I'm having trouble ejecting my Time Machine disk from my mid-2012 retina MBP since installing Yosemite.  If I control-click on the disk image and select EJECT, the image grays out a little but won't eject.  If I try to start Disk Utility, it hangs and won't start.  However, if I first start Disk Utility and then select the Time machine drive and select Unmount followed by Eject, the disk will eject.
    Anybody else having this problem?  I don't recall having this issue with earlier versions of OS X.

    Well, nobody replied but I'll post what solved the problem:  installing an app called "Mountain."  I also noticed that a recent Yosemite update including a fix for Time Machine problems but I don't know if it address this problem.  In any event, since installing Mountain, I never have a problem ejecting discs.

  • Time Machine disk ejecting

    Hi guys,
    My Time Machine disk keeps ejecting itself.  Once it has ejected itself I cannot write to it or even format it, I usually have to boot Yosemite/Mavericks off a USB and in disk utility there, repartition and format the disk.  It will then backup and be fine, but a few days later it will fail again.
    I have tried this with 2 drives, a WD 340gb and a 1TB seagate and get the same results, although the seagate DOES seem to be more temperamental.  I have looked around the net and found threads with these issues but never a total solution.  I know that Linc Davies is an expert on these things so if you're around Linc, any help you could give would be amazing!
    I read in one of Lincs previous threads to go to console and then system and filter "backup".  I have done this and dumped the log.  I will paste it below.
    I look forward to any help you can offer.
    regards.

  • Time Machine Disk borked after 2013-003 security update

    I installed the 2013-003 update on the weekend, and conincidentally my Time Machine disk is now locked.  I haven't installed anything else really, so this Security Update is the only change I've made in recent memory, which makes me think that it is the cause, or at least the exacerbating factor. 
    Background: I have a 27" iMac 3.4GHz / 16 GB (iMac 12,2) with running Mountain Lion 10.8.4.  I have an external RAID array consisting of 2x 3 TB Seagate Barracudas in a Nexstar MX two-bay enclosure, with the enclosure hardware controlling the RAID.  This has worked more or less flawlessly since last fall -- that is until this update.   No raid errors from the enclosure -- as far as it knows the disks are in fine health.
    After restarting following the update, I get a message that the OS has locked the Time Machine disk (my aforementioned RAID array) -- so I can read data from it, but I can no longer write -- I can no longer make backups. It mounted the disk, and suggested I use disk first aid to fix it, so I do.
    Open Disk First aid, and set it to Verify.  I get some strange errors.  Don't take my word for it, here's the log:

    So since this, I can rarely mount the disk.  When I can, I cannot unlock it to back up to -- although if it's awful as it suggests, I don't think I want to.
    But, it all seems a little strange to me.  This is RAID, I shouldn't have these problems, no?  I mean, the disks are fine -- although if there was an error on the primary, enough time has passed that's been copied to the secondary by now, so I can't swap them.
    Has anyone else had an external disk go T/U after this update?  Is there some fix I'm missing?  I have a new external disk on order (with Thundebolt) so if I have to rebuild my back ups, it won't take as long as this guy over USB, but I don't want to forgo the versions of the files I have no going back some 2 years.
    Any insight?  Is my backup borked, making me start over new and lose my back up history?  Is there anyway I can recover this disk, outside of Disk First Aid / sending it to a data recovery place?  Even do you think if I rolled back this update (if that's even a thing) would it set me back on track?
    Thanks!

    I had the same issue after a re-build of mountain lion on an older Macbook pro.  I followed you link and instructions and it worked! Thanks wjosten

  • Time Machine back up issue

    Heya Guys!
    Not sure this is in the right place so please move it if needed.
    Ok, so I have an external hard drive, and I am trying to back up my mac through Time Machine. My issue is that it gets to a certain point where it will say 'The backup was not performed because an error ocurred while copying files to the backup disc. The problem may be temporary. Try again later to back up. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk'. 
    I repair the disc, and I thought I'd figured it out it, but now every single time it tells me to repair the disc. I have bought a brand new hard drive to do this with and it had the same thing.
    Also it will get to saying that it has only 148 mb to go, will do it really quick then will go on to back up more data that wasn't there before in the bar, and then will say as above about disc repair.
    I have no idea if it is actually backing up, as when I look into my hard drive, the .(file format) is .inprogress and the time machine sign always ends up saying back up failed.
    I haven't a clue how to resolve this, so any help would be wonderful. Even if someone could just reassure me that yes it has backed up properly, that would be brilliant.
    The hard drive I am using for this is a Seagate GoFlex 500GB and I did buy a Seagate External 1TB that I partitioned so I could use it on a Mac to use it with originally, but reverted back to my GoFlex.
    Thanks,
    Simon

    I've just run Carbon Copy Cloner to back it up too and that has revealed where the problems are. Most of these I already have on my External Hard Drive safe but not the others, and since it is my first ever back up I don't want to delete something off my Hard Drive that I can't get back on it somehow. The problem areas are below:
    ATIRadeonX2000GLDriver (located in system/library/extensions/atiradeonx2000gldriver.bundle/contents/macos)
    Media Toolbox (located in system/library/privateframeworks/avfoundationcf.framework/support/mediatoolbox/ framework/versions/A/mediatoolbox)
    Core AUC (located in system/library/privateframeworks/coreauc.framework/versions/A/coreauc)
    I was also told that one of my files needs to be repaired as it failed to open, but I have no idea how to do it. It is located here: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Versions/A/Resources/runner
    I'm guessing these are what is causing my issues, but I'm not exactly computer savvy when it comes to these sorts of things, so I don't know whether deleting them is a good idea, especially when I'm not sure if they are on a disc somewhere or not.
    Thanks for the help so far guys! :-)

  • New Mavericks Install-Time Machine disk causes Wifi failure.

    Just recently upgraded to Mavericks and have encountered a strange problem.   When my Time Machine external disk is attached, my machine (MacBook Pro 15 Intel 2.53 i5) refuses to connect to my home Wifi (Airport Extreme), giving an error message wanting me to run Wifi Diagnostics.    All other devices connect normally to this router.   I noticed this morning that when I eject the Time Machine disk, it immediately connects to the Wifi without a problem.
    Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

    I know that my last full backup was on September 11th (time machine kept getting hung up on Preparing... after that, another reason for the reinstall)
    Not a good sign.
    Try to repair the backups, per #A5 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

  • HT201250 Time machine backup permission issue

    Hi,
    We setup time machine backups in an office environment which is managed by a mac OS X Lion server.
    Each device on the network (all mac minis) is configured to take hourly backups to the drive on our server.
    On some occasions, a device requests an admin username and password whilst time machine is backing up.
    We believe this may be caused by backupd attempting to access parts of the file system it is not authorized to as each device has application restrictions set in profile manager. Computers that do not have application/directory restrictions do not get the admin prompt.
    Here is a dump of the backupd daemon (and other possibly related processes) whilst a user was prompted for a password:

    The backup seems to finish successfully even if the user doesn't enter the username/password. Any ideas why this would be happening and how to avoid it? Could this be fixed by running a full backup as admin so that time machine doesn't have to backup these inaccessible files (to normal users) anymore?
    Thanks for your help

    I'm not familiar with the server product, but the actual backup process should be the same as on the client version.
    On some occasions, a device requests an admin username and password whilst time machine is backing up.

    We see that occasionally.  It seems to be spurious, or at least not a significant problem.

    Yes, that's the "bottom line." 
    Could this be fixed by running a full backup as admin so that time machine doesn't have to backup these inaccessible files (to normal users) anymore?
    No.  However a backup runs, it runs as the root user, so has access to everything.

  • Migration assistant doesn't "see" Time Machine disk

    Just got a new logic board, and they wiped the hard drive.  My Time Machine disk mounts, and I can see the files.  However, migration assistant doesn't list it as a source.  (Yes it's formatted Mac OS Extended [Journaled]) 
    Time Machine recognizes it and wants to use it as a new backup disk, but it doesn't want to show me anything from the old back up. I didn't do a new backup of the "new" computer.  I don't back up applications just users.

    Just back home from a follow-up visit to the Genius Bar on this migration issue (from MacBook Air to new MacBook Pro).
    Previous efforts to migrate had taken endless hours and seemed to hang at the 20-mins-remaining mark.
    At the store, even after we manually turned off WiFi before connecting the Thunderbolt cable, Migration Assistant seemed to turn WiFi back on and start the migration over WiFi. 
    In the end, we used the Air (source) in Target Disk mode, which forced the computers to use the Thunderbolt cable.  Migration took a little over half an hour, as opposed to 12 hours or more that Migration Assistant was saying earlier when apparently trying to use WiFi.

    I'm not familiar with the server product, but the actual backup process should be the same as on the client version.
    On some occasions, a device requests an admin username and password whilst time machine is backing up.
    Does it say Admin password, or could it be a password for the backup device?
