Time machine problem connecting to server x.local.

I've recently upgraded my home computers to Mavericks (2 mini servers and 4 macs). I run time machine services on one of the servers and everything seemed to be working fine (macs succesfully backing up as scheduled, etc).
Well... this week I needed to restore some files from backup. While I can connect to the server when booting normally to Mac HD, some of the files I need to recover are in use when doing so. So I booted to the recovery partition on and selected Time Machine from the menu. After I selected the server from which I wanted to restore, I was prompted to enter a username and password. Upon entering, I was greeted with the message "There was a problem connecting to the server 'x.local.' Check server name or IP address and try again".
I've tried using a variety of user accounts (including root and other admins). I'm also able to ping the server using Terminal by name and address. But alas, no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance, Dave

If you open AirPort Utility........can you see the old Time Capsule?
If yes, click on the old Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Base Station menu (up at the top of the screen where the File, Edit, Window and Help menus reside
Click Show Passwords
Time Machine is looking for either the Base Station password (which may or may not be the same as the Wireless password)....or....the Disk Password.....if you set up a Disk Password that was separate from the Base Station or Wireless password.

Migrating Time Machine from OS X server to local

It can't be as simple as copying the sparse bundle to a TM drive on the local mac, can it?

Here are Pondini's (RIP) suggestions for copying a TM backup archive.

Ignore "There was a problem connecting to server" message in Time Machine

I use Time Machine via a Hard Drive connected to an AirPort Extreme. It works great when I'm at home, it obviously doesn't back up when I'm not at home. My problem is when I'm not at home I keep getting prompts stating "There was a problem connecting to server XXX". It's incredibly annoying. Is there a way I can force these prompts to not come up? I know I'm not connected and don't need prompted.
How can I make this go away?
Thanks for the help!

Well as long as it's turned on, it will look for the drive to backup to every hour. I don't see any other way around it.
Other option would be to use an add on program that you can schedule TM with. TimeMachine Editor or TimeMachine Scheduler.
Al least with these you can schedule backups when you are home. I haven't used either, but I'm sure they will work for you.

"problem connecting to server" when trying to access local disk

Recently (perhaps since I upgraded to Yosemite), the first time I try access one of my two hard drives through Finder I get two pop-up windows with error "there was a problem connecting to server". When I dismiss the pop-ups, the Finder window appears OK. I then don't get these errors for some time and then I get them again - and always two errors.
It seems the access request goes through NAS which fails ...
"NetAuthSysAgent[11958]: ERROR: AFP_GetServerInfo - connect failed 62"
and "NetAuthSysAgent[11958]: GetStatus: connecting to self not allowed"
but then it gets actioned as a local access. Can anyone think of why NAS gets involved? And mainly how to get rid of it :^).
There is nothing in login items that mounts either of the disks as a server. Is there a way to find out if a local disk is mounted as a server and who caused it?

Many thanks, I am impressed by the process :^)
Here's the result:

Can Time Capsule be used as a time machine on a Windows Server. Is this possible, and how do i configure this?

I like to use the new TC in my office as a time machine on a Windows Server. Is this possible, and how do i configure this?
In fact my plan is to make the first back up by connecting to the server via an ethernet cable, but thereafter i like to bring the TC to my home and perform the incremental backups over the internet. This is for safety reasons, in case for example the office is broken into, or flooded, or fire (god forbid).
I sincerely hope it is possible, and not complicated.
Alternatively i would not mind replacing our current Windows server 2003 with an Apple server, but all computers in the network (except mine) are Windows 7 or 8. Would it work?
Thanks in advance.

I will consider the WD My Cloud device.
It is a NAS.. it is designed to provide a cheap centralised file storage.
What is NAS?? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network-attached_storage
A file server like windows uses heaps of power to do very little.. in your setup.. In most setups like SBS it will do exchange server and provide a heap of useful connectivity to your clients.
Since you are not using the windows server in anything but simple file serving you can replace with a NAS..
Problem with the TC is, it is a router with a hard disk inside.. designed specifically for Time Machine.. it fails to provide what a NAS does.. easy access to any clients, local or remote.. TC is designed by apple for apple and the rest of world is not really invited to the party.
It provides no backup.. no data protection.. and is so specifically apple orientated I do not think it works at all well with windows.
For a simple example.. windows will have file issues with large files.. because it is only NTserver FAT32 to windows.. bad luck if you have large files.. !!
Plainly if you use active directory in windows that facility is gone.
I just like Apple products, find them more stable than Windows and easier to use. Plus i can access the server from home if it is an Apple Server.
If you only need remote access for yourself that is fine.. too bad for the windows clients I guess.
Or you open it up to the world and bad luck for security.
Apple do not design for mixed environment.. in fact with the TC there is no provision for windows access officially at all.. so anything you do is a fudge.
You can use the TC for your Mac backups within the network.. that is fine. Apple provide no software at all to help with your windows clients.

Is Time Machine bad on Leopard Server?

Hi,
I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to setting up osx server, however is it true that using time machine to backup Leopard Server is bad? Our office is running leopard server off a G5 dual-core 2.0 with 2.5GB ram. The boot drive is mirrored in a raid 1, and we have a Sonnet D800RAID (RAID 5) connected via ATTO raid card. All employees will work off the server, meaning all projects will be stored there on the RAID 5.
We wanted to use time machine to do incremental backups of the RAID 5, however apparently from what I hear, using time machine on a server is a no,no. Why though? Does it really use a lot of the CPU running in the background?
I really want to implement, but not if there's a BIG problem going to arise from it in the future.
Thanks in advance~

Hi
I guess it depends? The current version of the Server Admin Manual available here:
http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/ServerAdministration_v10.5_2ndEd.pdf
does not have a lot to say about it one way or another. However the previous version of the Admin Manual clearly states on page 37:
*+"Leopard’s Time Machine feature is not recommended for server file and system backup of advanced configuration servers"+*
If you purchased the boxed copy of Leopard Server 6-9 months ago it may still state this in the provided manual? There have been some who have used it successfully when the server is configured as Advanced. I have no personal experience of this but if you search the Mail Forums you should find recommendations to not use it if configured as Advanced/Mail Server. Its not so much backing up but rather problems develop when restoring.
I've not had chance to test with Open Directory, perhaps others have?
Just a thought but I would consider carefully (depending on server role) if I had need to use it for the Server itself. On the other hand I think it works fine as a source for client backups.

Time Machine on Snow Leopard Server

I would like to setup a backup service using Time Machine of a Mac Pro Snow Leopard Server (10.6.5) to an external hard drive connected with USB. Are there any gotcha's with this type of setup that I need to be aware of? My faint memory recalls an issue with Time Machine backing up a server.
The server is mainly used for file sharing in a small (<10) person office.

Are you backing-up the clients, or the server, or both?
Like most folks here, I'm not very familiar with the Server product, but I understand TM can do either or both.
You may find better advice in the Server forums, at: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=96

Time Machine problems with MBP 2011

I've been having problems trying to back up my computer data to a hard drive using Time Machine. I've already set Time Machine up, connect my 500 GB Seagate hard drive (which says is specifically designed for Time Machine on the Mac) and press Start Backup Now. After I do that, the computer pulls out a progress bar, so I left it there and after a long time went to check the progress, but the machine said that it had 600 MB out of 320 GB to copy. Why is this? Also I try to do something because the computer seemed stuck, or frozen. So I had to do a hard shut down, and tried it again but the same thing happened. What can I do to finally back it up? I know the Hard drive is not a problem... please help me!

Time Machine Service Page in Server App says "Error Reading Settings"

I have a Mac Mini running 10.8.3.
For some reason the Time Machine Page in the Server App refuses to work properly. If I reboot the server it looks fine for about 10 minutes. It displays the backup location and the list of individual backups. Then I get this message:
25/03/2013 14:37:51.673 Server[286]: Error: The server '127.0.0.1' reported an error while processing command of type: 'readSettings' in plug-in: 'servermgr_timemachine'. Error: Error Domain=XSActionErrorDomain Code=1000 "An unknown error occurred" UserInfo=0x7fdc1b2445e0 {NSLocalizedDescription=An unknown error occurred}
Also the Time Machine page in Server Apps is blank apart from "Error Reading Settings" and the slider at the top says Time Machine is off.
However Time Machine does work for some clients.
Anyone got any idea?
I think it started having problems when I got a "The network confirguration has changed" alert.

Help, I am about to pull my hair out, can't get into a locked drive and Time Machine problem

I've screwed everything up, I think. I had Time Machine doing backups to an external 500Gig drive and somehow it got locked. I went into Get Info to try and change the access but it won't allow me. On top of this problem, my original drive died and I can't get into Time Machine to restore. When I click "Enter Time Machine", nothing happens. I created an eDisk and a startup disk to another external drive that I'm using now, but since everything that's been backed up is on the other drive that I can't access. When I try accessing the drive it gives: "The folder “G-DRIVE ” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents." I'm not knowledgeable enough to work from the command line, so if I need to do that to access the drive, please walk me though it. As for the Time Machine problem, I have no idea how to recover anything since it won't even come up, it just sits there. Outside of blowing my brains out, I don't know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can't afford to take it to Apple to let them try and fix it.

Hello, not sure how this might affect a TM drive, or not, but...
Here is what i needed to do for my drive "320GB HD", the last command is just for clean up
Open Terminal and type these commands carefully with the spaces & change 320GB HD to the name of your drive.
sudo chflags 0 "/volumes/320GB HD"
sudo chown root "/volumes/320GB HD"
sudo chmod 1775 "/volumes/320GB HD"
sudo -k
That said, these should be sufficient to do the job:
sudo chflags 0 "/Volumes/320GB HD"
sudo chmod a+rx "/Volumes/320GB HD"

When my screensaver starts, it gives me an error there was a problem connecting to server

It seems like I'm having a problem with iPhoto. Whenever my screensaver comes on, it just sits on "Loading Photos" and then when I move the cursor to get out of the screensaver, I get a warning saying "There was a problem connecting to server XXX"
I don't know why it's trying to connect to this server. I have googled and searched and tried everything that everyone has said (renaming/deleting plists, removing all login items, clearing iPhoto and trying to start over...) but nothing has helped.
This error also comes up pretty consistantly when iPhoto is open.
I'm not really sure what else to check. I can't find any trace of the remote server, so I'm not sure why this is coming up.
I'm running Mountain Lion and whatever the latest version of iPhoto is.
Any thoughts?

I was able to get it. Apparently there was some old photo in my iPhoto library that was being mapped out to the server that it kept trying to connect to.
Which should have been relatively easy to detect, except the way that iPhoto is setup, there was no real way to find the source for each photo.
What I was able to do to was, under photos, CMD-A to select all photos and then try and move them to an album. It popped up with a notice saying that it wasn't able to find XXXXX.jpg and I had the option to cancel or find the photo. So I renamed another photo on my desktop to XXXXX.jpg, and when the error came up, I selected Find and then used the copy on my desktop to replace it.
After I did that, it let me add all of the photos to an album and I was able to launch the screensaver successfully.
A pretty big pain in the but that would have been easier to resolve if the UI of iPhoto was a little more detailed or customizable. But oh well it worked for me.
Hopefully this helps.

Why can I no longer backup to Time Machine on OS X Server?

We have a Windows Server and a Mac Server. The OS X Server is basically only for backups from workstations via Time Machine and as a Software Update Server.
I can no longer backup from my MacBook to the Server. If I try to add the location again in Time Machine Prefs, it asks for username and password. I try my AD account, but it fails. Guest doesn't work either. Any suguestions? When I set up the Time Machine service on the server, it was very easy. What did I miss?

You have to enter the name and password of an administrator on the server.

HT4623 problem connecting to server during update??

I have completed the installation of IOS 6 and when i enter my info through set up it tells my there was a problem connecting to the server. I have internet connection so i can't figure out what the problem is. I entered my password and when it asks for my email it tells me there is a problem connecting to server? Soo confused on how to get past this.

Disable all security software on the computer then try again.

Time Machine problems

My question is this: Is there any way to force Time Machine to make a complete backup of all files, not just the recently changed ones?
My story so far:
Installed Leopard yesterday. Detected brand-new (and newly Mac formatted Extended Journaled) Seagate 300GB hard drive and asked if I wanted to use it for Time Machine. Answered yes. Thought I was through with worrying about Time Machine- wrong! First backups went OK- so I thought. First one took several hours and seemed to back up the whole drive. Subsequent ones were shorter, which seemed to make sense. After a couple backups had been performed, decided to see if I could "go back in time". The only window to show up was the original backup (which I never bothered to check to see if it truly was complete). This morning I was greeted with an error that it couldn't do the backup because it couldn't complete the library.
So I come to this forum and read posts advising me to reformat my drive and name it with no spaces (it was previously "Backup Disk"). I did that, erasing all previous backups. Seemed to help, but...
Now, unfortunately, Time Machine doesn't realize that the backups are not there anymore and will not do a complete backup with my completely empty external drive. I even tried removing the com.apple.TimeMachine.plist file from its place in the directory to see if that would force the program to build a new library. It didn't.
Not even sure that making a complete backup again will solve all my Time Machine problems but it's a start!

I had this same problem when I first started using my Time Machine on my MBP. I had a portable drive (Western Digital 160 gig passport drive).
I was advised by the tech to do the following before the first use of the drive:
1. Turn off the time machine
1. format the drive with your disk utility.
3. configure the time machine for the drive.
4. Turn on the time machine. Make sure your not backing up anything but your main hard drive. (Your shouldn't back up any other external hard drives). At least not the first time you run Time machine.
5. start the backup.
The first backup is always the longest, but it shouldn't take that long, especially if your doing the Macbook Air.
Hope this helps.
