Time Machine Drive on Network

It seems like something has changed with 10.5.6 or so with respect to the ability to use networked drives. I have a PowerMac G5 that I have been using as a server with an second internal (IDE) drive that I have been using for time machine backups from a different computer (also running 10.5.6) over an Ethernet network. Recently the drive filled up and so I wanted to force TM to do a full backup. I read somewhere that the way to reset time machine is to change drives and then back again. So I went to change the drive but now it does not show the network drive (which used to work perfectly even with 10.5.6 prior to being full) as an option to back up to.
I tried many things including reformating the backup disk Does anybody know the proper way to make sure that an remote drive shows up in the list of selectable backup drives with the most current version of the OS?

Whenever you do an initial backup to any networked drive, make sure you've mounted that network drive on your desktop first. If it's not mounted, it won't show up in the available choices for TM drive. Once that first backup's done, though, you no longer have to manually mount the network drive as TM will take care of that for you, both mounting and unmounting.

  • Can an external drive connected to an airport express be used as a time machine drive for networked computers?

    Help or trick appreciated. Thanks

    The AirPort Express will not support a hard drive at all if you are connecting to the USB port.
    While the AirPort Extreme will support a hard drive, Apple does not support Time Machine backups in this type of setup.

  • How can i put music drive AND a time machine drive on wireless network?

    Right now I have a MacBook with ONE external drive with my music and movies… and ANOTHERexternal drive for my backups.
    I would LOVE to figure out how to hook both the music drive and the time machine drive to a wireless router so the only plug I have for my laptop is the power plug.
    I already have a NetGear wireless router… but it only has ethernet ports out, no usb.
    What would be the best/easiest way to network these two external hard drives?
    tx!

    Another option, where you can still utilize your existing drives, is to consider a dedicated NAS device that supports both Time Machine and iTunes functions. One such NAS device is the Synology DS415+. It would be far superior than what you have now. Albeit at an additional cost.

  • I want to use time machine on a network drive

    i know in the past Apple holds us hostage to buy their time capsule.  With Lion now launched, is there a work around to allow families to buy there own hard drive and use it for multiple macs for time machine?
    Im fairly new to Mac, convinced my wife to switch, now here we are held captive to buy a TC when we already have a fantastic 2TB drive we purchased for a fraction of the price of a TC.  I dont care about wifi, I just want to save our Mini time machine to our MBP networked drive (or vice versa).
    I currently have Lion on the MBP, and Leopard on the Mini.  After installing and hating Lion on my MBP, i have not "upgraded" the mini.  (although I am currently following the "upgrade back to Leopard" threads)
    Thanks for any help or ideas.

    In the past Apple was not holding you hostage by requiring you to use a Time Capsule for network Time Machine backups. Search on Google for Time machine NAS OS X (or something like that) You will find a number of drives that were working with SL.
    Now, they did change the file protocol in Lion, so some of the NAS servers won't work with Lion, at the moment. So long as it is a decent company that makes the NAS they should be releasing a firmware update to get their NAS working with Lion.
    One of the companies that put out a press release was Western Digital. They said they would be working on an updated firmware so that you could use it as a Time Machine drive.
    Just look around the interwebs and I am sure you will find several that will work.

  • Time machine backup on network drive

    i have a netgear router with readyshare usb network drive i have a 2TB external hdd that i use for a central location to view files for both my imac 10.7.5 and multiple pc's windows 7 i currently have a external hdd connected to my imac just for time machine however this is only 320gb not large enough. was wondering if i could somehow make an alias of my current time machine bacup and place it in my network drive so that my backup would use this space too or  maybe even make this time machine drive larger? or if i delete the connected time machine drive will the alias still be as is? i understand that i can just create a partition however if i understand the process correctly this would erase my files and the only option would be ExFat format from imac for windows then i would make and extended journal for use with time machine. i am not sure i want to do this because i dont know if i could reformat the disk with the default software still on thie 2TB drive. also i dont know if i could use it with all my pc's and imac. currently i can transfer files to either computer.

    I have the exact same problem, but I am not using TM over a network... Only my local Mac Pro w/ a 600gb external drive. I recall back when I first got Leopard that time machine did in fact ask me if I wanted it to delete old backups after the drive filled up. Then one day it randomly decided to not delete old backups anymore... Instead displaying the same error message you get.
    Can anyone help? (Besides telling me not to back up certain files, and to do it less often. Those are BS solutions! I want my entire HD backed up every time automatically erasing old backups when necessary. Is that too much to ask for?)

  • Time machine restore from network drive kernel panic

    I had a late 2013 macbook pro 15" retina, I was backing up with time machine to a network drive (western digital my cloud). All of my backups are there and the data looks valid. In April I ended up selling the macbook pro, then recently I bought another one and attempted to restore from the network drive.
    I chose the option to restore on boot from network device, it properly detects and lets me browse my previous backups. I choose restore, the restore will run for a few hours and then reboot with a kernel panic.
    panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff00184c0ac1): "Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI\".\n"0/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-2422.90.20/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp: 1541"
    I've tried a few different backups, one from April, one from march...both result in the same error. Any ideas why this would happen?

    Time Machine full system restores only work if the backup disk doesn't need drivers separate from Mac OS X to mount. To make a long story short, you CAN'T do a full system restore with the disk your backups are on.

  • Time Machine and a network drive combined

    I figured out how to connect Time Machine with a network drive (like LaCie Mini). It works great, the only thing is, everytime I restart the mac I need to re-connect manually to the server in order TM can run.
    I wondered why OS X gives not the option to connect to certain servers AUTOMATICALLY when starting up?
    thanks for help

    Well,
    PLEASE can you tell us how you figured out how to backup to a network drive because Apple tech told me you could not do that!
    To your question though, on those LaCie drives, you have to log in with a password, right? On the drives I have used with clients, although the password was filled in for me, we had to press OK every single time to actually connect to the drive... I could not bypass the login procedure on the drive, it had nothing to do with OSX. You might serve yourself well to see if LaCie can offer you a way to connect to the drive automatically?
    Although I know nothing about scripts, could you just get a script to run automatically at startup to connect you to that drive?
    I'm interested in this topic so please feel free to share what you know and your experience with it. Thanks in advance.
    I was also frustrated to find out that I couldn't even back up via Time Machine to a drive connected via USB to my Airport Extreme... I mean come on!

  • Time machine on a network drive

    The situation:
    We have a Mac Pro with a Time Machine volume on an external drive that is  attached to a networked Mac. I don't think this is a very common scenario, but it works just fine over a gigabit network. We do not automount any drives on the networked machine but mount (or connect to) this remote machine manually whenever the Mac Pro in question is restarted (which is not often).
    The question:
    Due to some renovation, we'd like to temporarily connect this external drive to the Mac Pro and mount the Time Machine Volume. Will Time Machine find the correct sparse bundle on the external drive, recognize it as an existing Time Machine backup and update that as long as needed. In other words, the external drive will have a different unix path name, but the sparse bundle will have the correct name.  And when the renovation is done, we will resume running Time Machine over the network, and I hope that Time Machine will again do the right thing.
    I want to avoid having Time Machine's creating a new backup when the unix path changes.
    Thanks.

  • Moving Time Machine Drive from Direct Connect to Network Share

    I have a 1 TB external USB 2 drive I use for my Time Machine backup. I'd like to move that drive to a file server and continue backing up to it. The problem appears to be that when backing up to the drive as a network volume, Time Machine wants to create a new sparsebundle for the backup and not use the existing TM backup folder on the drive.
    Is it possible to migrate a Time Machine drive from direct connect to network while preserving the backed up data? Thanks!

    Depending on what "file server" you're using, that may or may not work reliably. Here's the criteria they must meet: Disks that can be used with Time Machine. And be careful here: just because some 3rd-party hardware claims to support Time Machine doesn't necessarily mean that Apple supports it, or that it will work in all circumstances.

    That's correct.

  • Can you use time machine on a networked hard drive

    Can you use time machine on a networked hard drive? 

    See if this helps: Using Time Machine with a networked hard drive

  • Time machine over a network volume

    So since Snow Leopard (and I think Leopard), when you use Time machine to back up over a network share (for example, a USB drive attached to a mini server), the OSX creates a sparsebundle image where all time machine files are stored.
    In Lion, If I encrypt my hard drive, and I keep on backing up using time machine over this network share.. will the sparsebundle image be encrypted or not?

    I don't see much difference between using a sparsebundle image or an encrypted sparsebundle image.
    I've sent this feedback to Apple see if they enable this in subsequent updates.

  • Time Machine over the Network: Terribly Slow

    Hello,
    I've been using Time Machine for over 3 years now with no issues over the network; the destination being a 2TB external Seagate connected to another iMac connected through gigabit ethernet. Everything has been working flawlessly: Every hour Time Machine would MOUNT the sparseimage it created on the disk, BACKUP the data and UNMOUNT the disk image when finished.
    Until I upgraded to Lion. The above process is still working per se, however it is PAINFULLY slow! A 50MB backup can take up to AN HOUR! Searching around on the net, advised that there could be an issue with Spotlight as well, however this is not the case for me, since Spotlight finished a new index in under 30 mins. Followed every tutorial I could find on the issue, to no avail..
    I then upgraded to Mountain Lion with the hope that the issue will clear itself. Cleared my old backups, resetted Time Machine by erasing its .plist file, restarted my iMac just to make sure and connected Time Machine to the network share anew, creating a "sharing only" account on the host iMac, i.e. the one that has the external HD connected through USB. Still no luck.
    I painfully realize that I still have the same issue. While backing up, network traffic is under 100KB, and activity monitor does not show any backupd or mds or any similar processes taking anything over 3% of CPU time.
    What could be wrong?

    Hello again,
    Tries on the other iMac (also running 10.8.2) and things are exactly the same: Image creation takes almost half an hour, and copying crawls at under 1MB/min. While time machine image is mounted and Time Machine is "backing up", accessing ANY disk on the host Mac is VERY slow. Seems like something hogs up appleshare when Time Machine is in use. Mind you, there is insignificant network traffic as seen by Activity Monitor, as well as insignificant CPU usage while backing up.
    Stopping backup and using tmutil to set the Time Machine destination to the mounted image as mounted by Finder, solves the issue again, revving up Time Machine throughput to over 20MB/sec! There is also no issues acessing the other Mac as well, under this scenario.
    Up to this point, the only way I have managed to use Time Machine over a networked external HD is through the NAS server. Both configurations where I am using a Mac running 10.8.2 as a server of the external disk have failed with very low throughput while backing up. Something must be wrong in 10.8.2's afp when Time Machine is mounting the image by itself.
    I may need to remind you that I have been successfully backing up to the external HD for 4 years now; something broke a few months after the client iMac was upgraded to Lion and at the time when the host iMac was upgraded to Mountain Lion. Will try to locate a Mac running some later OS X version to do some more testing.
    Also reminding that I have used two distinctive iMacs and two external HD drives for my tests so far. The client iMac has remained the same, however 10.8.2 has been reinstalled on it a couple of times. Have also used an afp-enabled NAS server which worked fine with Time Machine.

  • Can I use a TIme Machine drive of my Macbook to transfer data to a new IMac

    Hi everyone
    I currently have a 2.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro as my main machine, using System 10.6.4.
    I'm keen add a second computer which will allow me to run both systems at the same time.
    My day job is a music producer, so I have plenty of audio programmes and plug ins, that are all intel spec and up to date, so I'm aware of tranferring new password codes etc to a new hard drive however I wondered if there were any potential issues transferring the data from my Macbook Pro and or it's Time Machine Drive to a new iMac ? I'm guessing not as they are both Intel Machines and will be running the same operating system, but any guidance to re-assure me would be greatfully received.
    Many thanks in advance to any replies.
    Robert

    I wouldn't use Migration Assistant for anything but to transfer your Home folder assuming you wanted to operate out of the same account on both machines. That's certainly the easiest approach. It's what i do between my Mac Pro and my MBP.
    But Migration Assistant is not a tool for maintaining synchronization between two computers. For that you can either have the two computers on the same local network and sync them over the network with third-party software. Or you can maintain an external "common" backup that is used to keep the two computers up to date using third-party software.
    My choice is the common backup on an external hard drive. I use a notebook sized drive because it's easy to take with me when I travel. I backup the most recently changed computer to the external drive. Then connect it to the other computer and do an incremental update. This keeps both computers in sync. You just need to remember which was the most recently changed computer.
    If you have a local network, then when both computers are connected to the network you can enable File Sharing on one of the computers, then sync the two with third-party software.

  • Lion can't find my external Time Machine Drive

    Anyone having a problem with Lion identifying the external Time Machine drive? When I go to Time Machine set up all I get is "Set Up other Time Capsule". Connections seem OK and drive is on and worked fine previous to the upgrade.
    Any ideas?

    Is the drive a USB or FireWire external HD, or a network drive (NAS)?
    If it's a NAS, it needs an update.  See #C16 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    If it's an external HD, try repairing it, per #A5 in that same link.

  • After changing my wifi password I am having trouble finding my time machine on my network, any help please?

    I have just changed my wifi password for  added security but cannot find my time machine on my network.  In the status bar it says that the time machine is not configured (although it has been) and every time I try to find it using airport utlity it remains hidden.  Any help would be appreciated as I have a recent back up on there.

    First off, thank you so much to everyone who is trying to help!  I really appreciate it! 
    I opened the "backups.backupdb" folder as you suggested "jeffreyfromtas" and found 2 folders:
    dvlynn's iMac and
    dvlynn's iMac 2. 
    The 1st folder seems to contain all the backups from the 1st time it backed up in Sept. 2010 until the last time it backed up without error in January of this year. 
    The 2nd folder contains one file titled "2014-01-03-175020.inProgress"
    I purchased this time machine backup drive in 2010 after the origional drive on my iMac crashed and was replaced.  When that happened my system was updated to Snow Leopard where it is now.  The only major changes I have made are that I moved a lot of large video files off my main drive onto external hard drives to make more room on the iMac. 
    Other than that everything has stayed the same. 
    I'm asking it what size the 2 folders are but it's taking forever to answer and I venture to guess it will be 99.99% in the 1st folder and 0.01% in the second folder. 
    Let me know if that makes any sense. 
    And thanks again!
