Time Machine on Windows Shared Documents?

I have a PC upstairs, it is on a home network. I have a macbook that has leopard installed on it. I can connect to the shared documents from my mac. But I was wondering if I could use time machine with the Shared Documents.Is it possible? And if so, could you tell me any details that I may need to do.
Thanks.

no, it's not possible. TM can only back up directly attached drives and they have to be formatted Mac OS extended.

Time machine would back up only the first time after I shut off my imac and started it up again. Then it would fail or claim it could not locate my external Hard Drive even though it's icon was showing in the time machine dialog window.

Time machine only ever backed up the first time it runs immediately after I start up my computer after it has been shut off. All other back up attemps fail. Recently it stopped recognizing the icon for my external hard drive in the time machine dialog window where you select the hard drive to back up to, and turn on and off the time machine function. Now the external HD icon only shows up on the desk top but no longer in the dialog box. I just tried shutting the computer off and turning it on again and now the light is on, on the external hard drive but the icon does not even appear on the desk top.
The external hard drive is a 1TB Seagate. The drive still has plenty of unused capacity. I ran a diagnostic test on it. It said the disk needed repair but the repair function would not work. The message stated that it could not be unmounted and repair is not available because the disk can't be written to. The Mac OX utility said the disk can still be opened but can't be changed nor repaired. The external HD is not S.M.A.R.T. supported.
I haven't tried replacing the cable yet. Is that the next thing I should try?

What Mac OSX version are your running ("iOS" as shown in your profile cannot run on a Mac computer)?

Time Machine Backup to Shared Firewire Drive Not Working

Hello
I know this may have been posted before, but I am looking for a simple troubleshooting / diagnostic process I can follow to resolve my issue:
I have a Imac running Lepoard with all possible software updates. A WD Studio 500GB drive is attached via Firewire 800. The drive has the latest firmware etc. I also have a 15" powerbook G4 (last model) running leopard. All Macs are connected to the a Netgear DG834N router, via ethernet cables.
The Imac and Firewire connected external drive works normally with time machine.
I have shared the external drive on the Imac and given all 'built in' groups read/write permissions.
I can mount the external drive on the powerbook and see the files that are backed up by the Imac, I can traverse the folder tree within the folders contrained in the backup. Double clicking on these folders invokes the 'star trek' style time machine window.
When trying to backup the powerbook, I could see the external drive as a time machine target disk.
The backup failed twice. Having checked the disk a sparse image was created. I tried again a number of times without success - I deleted the sparse image and tried to start again.
This time I could not find the disk in the selection in time machine, a reboot of everything revealed the disk, but when selecting the 'use for backup' button in time machine on the powerbook nothing happens.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

You have a pretty simple problem: time machine does not allow you to backup two computers to the same hard drive or partitioin. the way to fix this is to repartition you WD drive into two partitions, one for each computer. if you already have other data (not from time machine), make three partitons: one for iMac, one for PowerBook, and one for Other. do not put any data other than time machine data on the iMac and PowerBook partitons, always put it in other. you can partiton a disk easily with disk utility, but wait:
_CAUTION: THIS WILL CAUSE YOU TO LOOSE ALL THE DATA ALREADY ON THE EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE!_
to avoid this, first use disk utility to make a disk image of the external hard drive, and save it on your internal drive. if the image won't fit (your internal drive doesn't have enough capacity, then you can either erase all the data on already on the hard drive with the reformat, or buy another disk to use for the PowerBook) then, when the disk is partitioned correctly, mount the disk image and copy all the files on it back to the correct* partition of the external hard drive. *if the files on the external hard drive came from the iMac, then put them on the iMac partiton of the drive. if they came from the powerbook, put them in that partition, and if it is not from time machine, put it in othe
Hope you followed all that!

Entering Time Machine using Screen Sharing

I use a G4 as a filserver, thus it does not need a monitor, and is just stacked under a desk. Now I want to use Time Machine backup for my files. That works.
To enter Time Machine to retrive a file, I need to use Screen Sharing. But Time Machine does not render correctly! I can see that its on - and trying, but no universe, and no buttons or stacked finder windows.. Anyone?

My Intel MacBookPro could run Time machine remotly on my PowerPC G5
But none could run it on the PowerPC G4.
So I wonder whats the logic..

Time Machine, FileVault & Windows Backup Best Practice

I read a lot on the forums about people wanting the best way to backup, when they had FileVault and also Windows files.
This is what I did, I have a 250 GB Lacie external drive:
1) 2 Partitions: 177 GB Mac OS Extended, 55 GB FAT32 (This disk was entirely FAT32 and MacOS Disk Utility wouldn't resize it to make space or even recognize the unpartitioned space I created in Windows, using a third party tool. So I resized in Windows, created a new ext2 partition, connected to Mac and erased it as Mac OS Extended. Mac sees 2 partitions now and automatically wants to use one for TimeMachine)
2) I use FileVault on my home folder, only for personal pictures and documents. I keep the iTunes music folder out of my home folder
3) Use Time Machine to back up everything but my home folder
4) Create an encrypted image of my FileVaulted home folder on the same backup disk that I created. For ease, I use the same password as that of my login account. I used the Disk Utility's Image from Folder option for this.
So My pictures and documents are encrypted on my machine, they are copied as one encrypted file into the backup drive, and the rest of my machine is backed up by File Vault. I do not have to log out, though it is a manual step for me to create the Image from folder. I don't mind doing that for now as I will need to do it only when I add new pictures to this folder. I would then make a new image on the backup drive.
I think this setup will work for me, if I do find things I can tweak I will post a follow up.

I set Super Duper to Back Up my PowerMac and to shut down after completing the back up, then i went to sleep. Six hours later, I woke up when I heard the fans spinning profusely and the Mac still not 'shut down'. Got following error log. Does anyone knows what has went wrong? Have I potentially 'fried' the CPU?

Time machine multiple macs sharing one HD via Wifi

I need help with time machine app.
I would like to use one external hd for multiple macs to backup with time machine.
I read about different method, the one that I think is better for me is to sharing the HD on a network.
I have one Imac and two macbook.
What I did is to connect the HD to the Imac and than I shared the HD volume with sharing files.
I create two accounts for the macbooks and then I connected them.
So far so good.
But I din't use this network configuartion for the first backup, what I did instead was to connects the different computers one by one with thunderbolt.
Now I had to change the destination dirve from the old HD (connected via thunderbolt) and the "new" shared HD - actually is the same drive!
I thought that the macbook time machine app just recognize the last backup and just makes a new one from that point.
But it seems doing a new backup. (Last backup: none)
It creates a new file Macbook of Alessandro.sparsebundle
Any tips?
thanks in advance
Alessandro

Time Machine Troubleshooting

Time Machine and Windows Home Server 2011 - Why no worky? (Original WHS worked fine)

So I've had an original WHS (HP Mediasmart) for years, thought it was time to upgrade...built a new server using WHS 2011 and everything on the windows side works great.
I'm not a mac guy, so only mac in the house is my GF's which had no trouble backing up to my previous WHS mediasmart using time machine, it was perfectly happy with it.
With WHS 2011, it seems to absolutely hate it; but it REFUSES to give an error. Just goes to "preparing" for about 2-3 seconds then immediately back to "next backup at X time".
I've done the tweaks in terminal to allow it to use network drives for time machine (which I didn't have to do when it was backing up to the old mediasmart, so I'm assuming maybe the mediasmart installer for OSX did that itself?)...The mac sees the server, sees the share, I can copy data to it and from it, just time machine refuses to use it (it allows me to select the share as the backup drive, just doesn't actually backup to it).
I've also tried creating custom sparsebundle files in terminal per some online guides/how-to's to get it to work...no go...used the wired ethernet ports mac address and tried it with the wireless ones too...neither worked.
What am I missing here?
It's Mac OSX 10.5.8

Mcdonsco,
Have you reviewed the logs on the computer you are trying to backup? What does it say in the console?

Can I use the same drive to backup with Time Machine and Windows Backup?

I've got a 1TB external hard drive that I'm currently using for Time Machine backups and also it stores about 300GBs of music. Can I partition the drive to add an NTFS formatted partition and use that partition with Vista's Backup/Restore feature? If so, how do I partition the drive? Forgive me, I'm a neophyte when it comes to Windows. Also, I don't want to lose the music files already saved on the Time Machine partition.

While you can add HFS+ volumes to an existing drive, adding NTFS requires taking chances: change to FAT and then convert to NTFS.
I'd invest in another backup. I don't even rely 100% on any one backup method; drive; let alone TimeMachine. A bootable backup should also be part of your strategy for OS X. So I would create a smallish 40GB emergency boot volume - for OS X use only.
For Vista, I use the built-in features of Ultimate/Business AND Prosoft Engineering DataBackup PC. Norton Ghost started out okay but gradually deteriorated, though their 2009 360 2.0 or something....
I would not want to use WinClone except as one-time 'snap shot' or emergency; useful when moving to a new larger hard drive, and if your Vista partition is small and not 100GB of files.
I'd look at 500GB+ drive to use solely for Vista backup and media files.
MacSales has $79-89 FW800/400 case for SATA drives, and just throw a good 640GB WD Caviar in for $78 and good to go.

Time Machine and file sharing with XP on a Time Capsule

Am I right in thinking that I can't use a Time Capsule to support Time Machine on OS-X and to support sharing files between OS-X and XP at the same time given Time Machine will not run on FAT32 and I can't partition Time Capsule hard drives without taking them to bits, partitioning and re-assembling?

Hi Jonathan and welcome to Discussions,
Drive Genius http://www.prosofteng.com/products/drive_genius.php and iPartition http://www.coriolis-systems.com/iPartition.php claim to be able to repartition without erasing.
Time Machine indeed works only on Mac OS Extended partitions.

Time Machine AND File Sharing: Partitioning possible?

Hi everyone,
I'm thinking about a TC setup where 2 Macs would connect to it and do regular backups using Time Machine. At the same time I'd like to use TC's hard drive for file sharing purposes. I believe that this is possible. What I don't know is:
Is it possible to partition the drive in order to set a limit to what space is available to Time Machine? If not, is there another way (ratio setting) to limit this?
Thanks
Björn

From what I've seen, the answer is no. (1) you'd have to be able to access the disk in such a manner as to partition. it does not show up in Disk Utility. Perhaps Terminal might have options. (2) As far as I've seen, there is no ratio setting. TC just backs up all Macs on the network using Leopard that have Time Machine backups set to the TC.
You can actually do what you want without changing anything. The TC HDD shows up as a network drive. Time Machine backs up until full. Files on the drive would take up space. So, until it's full, you can put shareable files on it. once it's full, you have delete backups or make space through some other method.

Unable to configure Time Machine backups to shared volume on network

I've been unable to coax Time Machine (TM) into using a networked shared volume that SuperDuper! accesses without a hitch.
My wife and I have laptops (TiBook and MacBook Pro, respectively), and we have a G4 Mac Mini with an external 300 GB HD. The Mini is connected to a wired Ethernet port on a GigE Airport base station (I've long ago given up on connecting that HD to the Airport). Our laptops connect wirelessly. All three machines are now running 10.5, and I've checked that the Mini is sharing the external HD via System Preferences. My wife and I both have accounts on the Mini, and those accounts provide read/write access on the external HD. Mounting that volume from our laptops works perfectly, as does backing up to it using SuperDuper! TM, however, doesn't recognize that volume as a backup location.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andreas

Adapting the instruction in this post worked for us. I connected to the Mini via ssh and entered the commands to enable the external HD. It then showed up as a TM backup location on both of our computers, and the progress meters for the initial backup are ticking away.
Cheers,
Andreas

Backing up with time machine to a shared hard drive on a network

HI,
Here's my situation: I have a 2011 Macbook Pro, 2009 iMac, and the last generation Macbook that they made. All 3 computers have Lion. I have a WD 4tb ext hard drive that I had been using to backup my MBP and everything worked fine. So, I decided i wanted to backup my iMac and Macbook to that same hd, which is obviously plugged into my MBP. It worked fine, both computers were able to backup simultaniously and all was great.
However, since I take my MBP with me places, the other computers wont backup when it isn't there (obviously). So, I decided to plug the ext hard drive into the iMac and use that as the central computer for the others to backup to (which makes way more sense). So, I formatted the drive (I didn't have any real need for any of the backups, and I wanted to start fresh), plugged it into the iMac, and set it up to be shared. I can backup to it from the iMac no problem, but I can't do it from either the MBP or the MB. I can access the hard drive on the laptops (mount it, copy and read files from it, ect), but when i go to set a backup disk in time machiine, it just isn't one of the drives to choose from. In the old configuration, the networked drive appeared as a possible drive to backup to in time machine preferences with out any problem, so I'm not sure what's wrong!
Any help would be GREAT!

That's what it should be. Take a look at Pondini's Time Machine FAQ #22: http://Pondini.org/TM/22.html
Also, make sure you are sharing via AFP and not SMB.

Partitioning Hard Drive for Use with Mac (Time Machine) and Windows

I have a brand new Imac on which I am also running WIndows Vista through Boot Camp (sweet, by the way). I have a large external hard drive on which I set up Time Machine easily enough. I would like to partition the drive somehow so that I could use half the drive to separately back up files on the WIndows side, but I can't seem to do this. Any suggestions? Is this even possible with Time Machine?

You can use Disk Utility create two partitions. Choose FAT for the Windows partition and Mac Extended (Journaled) for the Mac. One limitation of FAT32 is that you can't write files bigger than 4GB. You can reformat this partition as NTFS within Vista which will allow bigger file sizes but you won't be able to write to this partition from within OS X without other utilities. Also you can't write to the OS X partition from Vista without other software.
Time Machine will not be able to back up the windows formatted drive partition.

Time Machine needs file sharing mode

I have a Time Capsule (1rst Gen 2008, 500 Go) 56GB left, connected through Ethernet.
I just rebuilt the index but i still find odd it needs 4 mn to backup 10MB every hour
I have strange errors
mds[78]: ERROR: _MDSChannelInitForAFP: AFPSendSpotLightRPC failed -1
and
mds[78]: (Error) Volume: Could not find requested backup type:2 for volume
also,
1) i need to enable file-sharing (with airport utiliy), or Time Machine won't start
2) the name of the disk is incorrectly spelled in Time Machine preferences (with a "-1" at the end, as if there were two disks with the same name. There are not)
3) Time Machine seems to be using afp for the backup
com.apple.backupd[3242]: Attempting to mount network destination URL: afp://MyDisk
i wonder if there is a problem in the way Time Machine is configured
Any ideas ?

Time Machine to Windows Vista?!

I just downloaded windows vista on my MacBook as a 32GB partition. I was wondering if there is a way to retreive my saved music library from itunes in Time Machine and unload it on the windows vista partion.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Not directly since TM will not work in Windows, but you can transfer the iTunes library provided your Windows partition is formatted FAT32 and not NTFS. If the latter then you have a problem since OS X cannot write to an NTFS formatted volume.
