Time machine ne fait que des sauvegardes totales

Bonjour,
Je débute sur Mac et je regrète que Time Machine qui semble une bonne idée ne fasse que des sauvegardes totales de 60Go à chaque fois et jamais de sauvegarde incrémentale comme il devrait le faire normalement.
Je suis sur MacBook Air 2012 Moutain Lion à jour.
Quelqu'un a t'il une solution ?
Merci

TM is doing a full backup for no good reason

Mon MacBook ne voit plus le disque dur externe de Time Machine

Après des mois de fonctionnement sans problème, le disque dur externe Western Digital, modèle My Passport, utilisé pour la sauvegarde Time Machine tourne et clignote, mais ne "monte" plus sur le bureau.
Il n'apparaît plus dans la barre latérale du finder.
Il n'est pas repérable par l'utilitaire de disque.
Que faire ? Si possible sans reformater le disque et perdre les données.
Merci.

Si le lecteur n'est même pas montrer dans l'Utilitaire de disque, il va être difficile, voire impossible, de reformater le disque. Moi aussi, je ne possédez qu'un disque Time Machine encore je fais des sauvegardes de tous mes documents - tous d'entre eux - sur DVD. Vous aurez juste besoin de remplacer le disque dur (et je ne serais pas un Western Digital - ils ne semblent pas jouer gentil avec les Macs parfois) et de commencer vos sauvegardes à nouveau.
Je ne pense pas qu'il y va y avoir de toute façon de sauver vos données. Vous pouvez continuer à essayer, mais ça sonne comme si le disque a tout simplement échoué.
Désolé,
Clinton

Time Machine Failure and Reuse/Recovery of its Hard Drive

My Time Machine would start up after a total reset, but then it would just shutdown (orange light would go out). I was not sure whether it was the power supply, as noted in several of this community's postings, or the hard drive. I had additional information that I wanted to recover from the hard drive if possible.
I used a hair dryer to loosen up the rubber backing, pulled it off, removed the ten screws from the back plate, unplugged the hard drive, and removed it from the Time Capsule (being careful not to destroy anything with static shock). I then ordered the cheapest 3.5 inch hard drive enclosure that I could find, since I was not sure if the hard drive had failed, or was still okay. I found one at OWC on sale for $9.99 + ~$8.00 shipping. When I got the enclosure, installed the hard drive into it, and found that everything I had stored on the Time Machine hard drive was there!! I am very happy that I was able to recover my data, plus I now have a 500 GB external hard drive.
Therefore, if your old Time Machine fails, maybe you can end up with a large capacity external hard drive for additional backups/storage.

Or you can repair it for as little as $20 if you have some handy man skills and use an external power supply.

Time Machine not recognizing my Link Station LS CHL

I have updated mac os 10.6.8 with mac os Moutain Lion 10.8.3 and i cannot save and recover with time machine from my Buffalo Link Station LS CHL.
I have the following message
What shoudl I do ?
merci
Marc

I tried what I understood from the forum and added this "printer" but without success.
What is strange and that I have apparently access to my saveguards from Time Machien but I cannot saveguard anything new. And I have no access to the Link Station form the network.
Since I am a very poor computer / network man I do not understand why apparently there is now an AFP problem.
In fact the message that's appear trying to safeguard with Time Machine is:
Le disque de sauvegarde réseau ne prend pas en charge les fonctionnalités AFP requises.
I could translate this by:
The Network Safeguard Disk does not take into account the required AFP functionality.
What does it mean ?
How to solve that.
Thanks
Marc

Is information stored in Time Machine considered backed up?

Sorry for the newbie questions below - I scanned the threads but didn't find exactly what I was looking for.
1) As far as backing up contents of my computer, is Time Machine (and the external drive it's running on) considered safe? That is to say - if my only back up is Time Machine to feel that my pictures, videos, etc are safely backed up - am I crazy?
2) When the external drive Time Machine is currently running on fills up, do I buy another one and disconnect and store the first one?
3) Getting close to buying a HD camcorder - so - how best to manage the big volumes needed for storage? Can I rig up a big external drive specifically for large files such as high res photos and HD video? Will iMovie and iPhoto reference such an external drive?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

Time Machine is currently my only form of overall backup. There are two ways to do a restore.
If you start up from your Mac OS X installation disc, you can run a utility that restores the entire volume. I have actually tried it recently, to make myself feel comfortable with how it works, and it did work as expected. I did do a clone to another volume immediately before, in case the +restore complete volume from Time Machine backup+ process failed.
The other way is to go into the Time Machine archive directly. So if I want to start with a fresh system installation instead, I can go do a system installation onto an erased volume. Then run Migration Assistant and use my Time Machine backup as the data source. Or I can migrate the data manually using Finder (the way I would really do it), by going into the Time Machine archive directly. The folder structure is organized by date/time of the backup. By using something called multi-linked files when Time Machine created the backup, Finder will show a complete backup for any available date/time, even though a file that never changed is stored in the archive only one time. In other words, each date/time folder shows everything being backed up, even though 99% of it did not change from the backup one hour earlier. So I can manually copy the files I want from the archive to the new installation, just by picking which available date/time to use.
Since I have these two options, I feel comfortable with Time Machine being my only backup for most of my personal data. For data that is extremely valuable, I back that up separately to another hard drive. But I would do that second backup (for the most critical data) no matter what backup method I was using.
When Time Machine runs out of space on the drive, it tells you. If you let it continue, Time Machine starts deleting your oldest date/time backup states to make room for the newest date/time backup states. So how far back in time you can go starts moving forward. However, there is no need to get a new drive, if that automatic process is OK and you mostly want the recent backup states. It is a good idea to buy as large a drive as reasonable, so that Time Machine has plenty of space. From my experience, Time Machine starts to take a long time to perform each run once the free space on the drive starts to become low (or gets to a point where it is deleting the oldest backup states).
You can tell Time Machine to back up attached external drives, as long as the Time Machine volume is larger than the total size of the data being backed up. To operate effectively, the Time Machine volume really should be +at least+ twice the total size of the data being backed up. In System Preferences +Time Machine+ pane, the Options button shows a list of what NOT to back up. External drives are put on the list by default. If you want an external drive to be backed up, remove it from this list.
You can generally tell applications where to store data.

Software issues after restoring from Time Machine backup.

Hi all,
I recently had to do a full restore from my time machine back ups. Everything worked flawlessly and when the restore was done, I appeared to have my OS, apps and data all the way they were prior to the failure.
Now I'm experiencing strange behavior from some of my applications.
First, when I use Safari’s "Top Sites" feature it shuts down the application with no associated error message.
Second, when I attempted to launch MS Word, I received an error stating that there was a problem with the Office database and it instructed me to use the included db repair utility (I'm sorry, I'm at work and I don't have access to the actual error messages at the moment). I did this, and after some time it reported the same error.
I shrugged my shoulders and used the included uninstall to remove Office from my machine and then re-installed. After the install was complete I launched Word and got the same error.
Is there any history of applications behaving strangely after a Time Machine restore? How can I totally remove MS Office such that whatever db the error references is gone as well?

The hard drive was bad. The OS locked up after trying to load iTunes. I rebooted and after the reboot everything ran very, very slowly. After several reboot attempts, the machine would not boot past the grey apple screen. I attempted to use /sbin/fsck -fy to repair and after running that several times (with varying outputs but all stating that the disk could not be repaired) I eventually was getting the same output over and over with a statement that no repair could be made.
I then bought Disk Warrior and ran it against my iMac using my wife's MacBook Pro. Disk Warrior returned a similar error stating that the disk couldn't be repaired.
Finally, I decided to re-install the OS and restore from back up but after several attempts to re-install the install would invariably fail after the consistency check of the DVD had completed and the install was to begin. It said something short like "There was an error with this install. Please try installing again." At this point, I surmised that the disk was a lost cause. I had the hard drive replaced and then restored from my Time Machine back up.
After the change in hard drive, the OS install ran just fine and the restore ran fine as well.
Thanks!

How do i restore photo albums from time machine backups without duplicates?

how do i restore photo albums without duplicates from time machine backups? thx

Worth updating? Totally a personal decision. For some it would be. For others it would not?
Upgrading, if there are no problems, does not affect your data. And since bad things do happen you always have a good backup. Especially when doing any upgrade.
Your password question has nothing to do with iPhoto. Try it in the OS forum

Time machine bloque à "environ 5 secondes"

Bonjour,
Time machine ne s'arrete plus à "Environ 5 secondes" de la fin de la sauvegarde. Les Mo s'accumulent (et ne reduisent plus). J'ai attendu environ 8h mais il reste toujours "environ 5 secondes".
J'ai essayé sur 2 dD externes : même probleme. J'ai essayé de reparer les disques durs avec l'utilitaire : même probleme.
Lorsque je clic "arret de la sauvegarde", la fenetre de preference de time machine indique "aucune" pour la "sauvegarde la plus ancienne" et "...la plus recente".
lorsque time machine se relance : j'ai "sauvegadre en cours..." indefiniment mais rien ne se sauvegarde.
merci de votre aide

Time Machine backups fail after initial backup in Yosemite

After upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite, I was able to run one backup to my trusty USB drive. Subsequent backups all start with "Preparing backup", and will write roughly 900KB to disk (or so it says) and then fails. I created a Time Machine-compatible network drive on my Drobo 5n, and again, the initial backup is successful, and subsequent ones fail. This is concerning and infuriating. I'm hoping someone out there has encountered this problem as well.
Please note: this is regarding backups only. I see a handful of discussions about not being able to perform restores in Yosemite, but that is not my issue.

Same here.
From Time Machine Buddy app:
Starting manual backup
Total content size: 424.3 GB excluded items size: 21.01 GB for volume Macintosh HD
Found 2439814 files (403.3 GB) needing backup
424.87 GB required (including padding), 250.63 GB available
Deleted backup /Volumes/Backupmac/Backups.backupdb/.df. (3)/2014-10-23-120445.inProgress/F8CFC567-7E6E-49B0-B366-88DF31DAF49B containing 4 KB; 250.63 GB now available, 424.87 GB required
Removed 1 expired backups so far, more space is needed - deleting oldest backups to make room
Deleted 1 backups containing 4 KB total; 250.63 GB now available, 424.87 GB required
Backup date range was shortened: oldest backup is now Oct 23, 2014
Backup failed with error 7: Not enough available disk space on the target volume.
It wants to do a full backup. Fine... so why doesn't it just delete more of the old backups to do so? I don't want to wipe the backup drive and start over now, but that seems like the only way to go.

Je ne peux plus faire de sauvegarde de mon mac book sur ma time capsule. Time machine ne me reconnait plus. Que puis-je faire ?

Je n'arrive plus à sauvegarder mon MacBook sur la time capsule. Time Machine ne me reconnait plus et me renvoie: impossible d'accéder à l'image disque de sauvegarde.Au secours !!!!

Merci, j'ai finalement trouvé la solution assez approchante.
En fait je ne suis pas en Time Capsule mais en liaison réseau sur une disque Iomega Nas.
Dans l'interface de mon NAs j'ai supprimé le répertoire et j'en ai recrée un avec un nom différent.
J'ai redéfini ce nouveau dossier partagé comme partage TimeMachine dans l'interface Iomega et j'ai relancer timemachine et ca fonctionne maintenant.
Bonne journée.

If I completely fill my hard drive 500Gb how time machine will keep working having 1Tb of total space, I mean I have to delete mu hard drive but how I keep my previous information on time machine and keep using to with new information?

If I completely fill my hard drive 500Gb how time machine will keep working having 1Tb of total space [externak hard drive], I mean I have to delete my hard drive but how I keep my previous information on time machine and keep using it with new information?

Time Machine does not provide archival storage.
If you delete a file from your disk it will eventually be deleted from your TM backup without any notice to you.
You need a second external disk to use for archival storage.
You also need a third disk for backups of the second disk.

Time Machine backup disk size - total capacity of disk or just files used?

Hi folks,
After upgrading to Leopard, I'm trying to set up my Time Machine. My main HD is 175 Gig and all the OS and other files take up 37 Gig of that. The drive I want to use for Time Machine (a spare internal hard drive) is a 75 Gig drive with 74 Gig of space available. Time machine says this drive is too small to use.
According to the Time Machine documentation, Time Machine takes the _total size of the files_ to be backed up and multiplies that by 1.2. So in my case, since the total files on my 175 Gig drive take up 37 Gig, then I would need only 42 Gig for my Time Machine back up. So, in theory, my 75 Gig spare drive should work just fine.
The problem is that Time Machine is taking the total size of the entire HD and using that to calculate the size of the back up drive, which would be 210 Gig. Does anyone know why this problem is occurring? It seems like Time Machine is not calculating the needed back up disk size properly and is incorrectly including the unused disk space on my main HD.

Not sure exactly, but your drive really is too small. Yes, 37 gb plus workspace would do for your initial Full Backup, but subsequent incrementals could fill it up pretty fast. That would depend, of course, on how you use your Mac -- how often you add or update files of what sizes.
If you change your habits and, say, download a multi-gb video, then work on editing it for a few hours, you could eat up the remaining space very, very quickly.
Just to be sure, how are you determining space used? Via right-click (or control-click) and Get Info on your HD icon?
Also, do you have any other HDs connected? If so, exclude it/them, as TM will include them by default.
Three possible workarounds:
First, get a bigger drive. HDs have gotten ridiculously cheap -- 500 gb (or even some 1 tb) for not much over $100.
Second, use CarbonCopyCloner, SuperDuper, or a similar product instead of TM. CCC is donationware, SuperDuper about $30, I think. Either can make a full bootable "clone", and CCC has an option to either archive previous versions of changed files or delete them. CCC can be set to run automatically hourly, daily, etc. (I suspect SD can, too, but I don't know it's details). An advantage is, of course, if your HD fails you can boot and run from the "clone" until you get it replaced, then reverse the process and clone the external to the internal.
Note that these will take considerably longer, as unlike TM, they don't use the OSX internals to figure out what's been added or changed, but must look at every file and folder. In my case, even smaller than yours, TM's hourly backup rarely runs over 30 seconds; CCC's at least 15 minutes (so I have it run automatically at 3 am). And, if you don't keep previous versions, of course, you lose the ability to recover something that you deleted or changed in error, or got corrupted before the last backup.
Third (and NOT recommended), continue with TM but limit it to your home folder. This means if you lose your HD, you can't restore your whole system from the last TM backup. You'd have to reload from your Leopard disk, the apply all OS updates, and reload any 3rd party settings, then restore from TM. As a friend of mine used to say, "un-good"!

Problems starting a completely fresh total backup on Time Machine - Help!

I recently had an iMac which refused to boot. I reinstalled from a combination of Time Machine restore and the original system disc. It still took 7 hours to get all the preferences and odd programmes which didn't seem to restore back to working order.
I wanted to do a complete Time Machine backup starting from scratch using a fresh 500Gb ext hard drive. I did the following as suggested:
1.On the Time Machine Preferences window, click the Options button. Note anything in the exclusions box, then click Cancel to return to the main window. Note the settings of other option(s), then turn Time Machine OFF and quit System Preferences.
2.If you're backing-up to an external HD, eject, disconnect, and power it off for a few moments, then reconnect it.
3.Delete the file /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist (in your top-level Library folder, not your home folder).
(You may have to navigate to it; a Spotlight search won’t show it, and a Finder search won’t, either, unless you include System Files. If you have a problem finding the file, see item #A7.)
4.Go back into Time Machine Preferences, re-select the drive, re-enter any exclusions and other options you noted in step 1. Note that the oldest and latest backup dates won't appear on this window until the next backup is done.
5.A 120-second countdown to a backup should appear. If you close the window, it should begin immediately.
The Mac HD has a used space of 150 Gb, but before the new TM backup started it counted thousands of files which were 'excluded' even though I hadn't asked for this. When the actual backup started it was saying that it was backing up a total of 68 Gb. Surely this can't be correct. I know that TM automatically omits a number of system files but surely not 82GB worth? I have a feeling that despite trashing com.apple.TimeMachine.plist it may be picking up from where the 'old' external hard drive (which contained the previous total TM backup) left off?
All I want to do is start afresh using this new 500Gb EHD but ensure that the whole of drive is backed up. How do I do this or is there a better way of backing up the whole drive on a regular basis?
Thank you.

You didn't really need to do all that. Those instructions (from #A4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html]) are for a "full reset" of Time Machine, such as, when there's a problem with the preferences file, to get Time Machine to continue backing-up to existing backups.
When you back up to a new or erased drive, Time Machine starts fresh.
The Mac HD has a used space of 150 Gb, but before the new TM backup started it counted thousands of files which were 'excluded' even though I hadn't asked for this.
When you did this, was the old TM drive connected? If so, that's probably what was being excluded. Time Machine will automatically exclude the +*currently selected+* backup drive, but if it finds a different volume containing TM backups, it won't exclude the entire drive, since there might be other data on it; so it excludes just the backup files on the drive. Your best bet is to eject and disconnect the old drive; otherwise, specifically exclude it.
When the actual backup started it was saying that it was backing up a total of 68 Gb. Surely this can't be correct. I know that TM automatically omits a number of system files but surely not 82GB worth?
It's possible. Depending on exactly went wrong, and exactly what you did, some things may not have been restored to the proper places, or the sizes being reported are inaccurate.
Exactly what did you do? Did you, for example, select your internal HD in the "Star Wars" display, and tell TM to restore it?
How much data was on your system before all this started? Was it about 150 GB, or was it more like 70 GB?
