TimeMachine File Structure

I am backing up my system onto an external drive using Time Machine. Will the file structure of my system drive be replicated? Will I be able to go onto that drive and grab a library or preference file?
Or is it going to be in some impenetrable machine language

You can, of course, enter Time Machine and navigate back and forth in Time and look at your files. They will appear in a Finder window with your file structure. If the structure has changed over time, the changes will be reflected in Time Machine's presentation of the files and file system structure at the time f each snapshot.
If you use it on a local or external drive you can navigate the backups directly.
You must consider the backup data as read-only at most. For each backup snapshot you will see the structure of the drive(s) you backed up as they were at the time of the snapshot. You can do this to look at or retrieve a file, but you shouldn't do anything else this way - delete, move rename etc. Time Machine uses links to make all the files appear in all the right places and you can easily mess this up royally.
The Time Machine interface is a lot safer and it is intuitive and obvious.....and highly preferable.

MacBook HD Failure - worry of carrying over file structure errors?

Hello all
Please excuse my intrusion .... I'm a composer and usually hang out on the Logic forum but have popped in to see if anyone has any experience with MacBook Internal Hard Drives?
I have a 2008 MacBook Duo 4,1 and have today had a hard drive go down for the second time this year. The Hardware test says ... ALERT ERROR 4HDD/11/40000004:SATA(0,0) I tried to bring it round with Disk Warrior but no joy.
My worry is that having once again installed a new hard drive and re-built everything from a Time Machine back-up, a clever Mac friend suggests that I may be carrying over a FILE STRUCTURE ERROR that exists on the TM back up which could cause the same issue over an over again?
If this is a possibility - is there anything I can do that negates my having to re-install everything again from scratch? (including copious authorisations and licenses for a huge amount of software from Quicktime AVID codecs for use with locking movies to my DAW and Music Sample Libraries!)
Does anyone have any experience of File Structure Errors being carried over from HD back ups?
Many thanks in anticipation of help.
Best
Dick

Hey Dick,
just to get down and technical, since it feels like you did not understand all the facts (no offense, please, I will try to explain).
When a hard drive fails mechanically or physically, and, let's say, makes the computer crash, there is a pretty good possibility that files that were open at the time of the crash were not saved properly, and thus are broken. It's just a consequence from the failure and the crash, if it happened. It's not DUE to the failure itself.
So, if you have a TM backup, which, as was stated before, is just files copied to some other drive somewhere on the network, there is no way you could reintroduce some physical damage, that was on your internal drive, back to a new one. If you HAD a utility that would do a 1:1 copy of a drive, there would be the possibility that defective blocks would be copied, but not with TimeMachine.
Let's be theoretical.
Let's say your hard drive failed in stages. Let's say you were working on a project. And let's assume you had a bunch of files open, when the drive initially failed. The system crashed, and some of those files were damaged. Let's further assume that you rebooted the system, and did a backup. And let's finally assume that you THEN changed the drive and restored the backup to the new drive.
Now, in THIS particular case, that would mean that there is a possibility that you backed up one or more damaged files to the TM (since a damaged file is still that: A file) and then restored it.
Now let's finally assume that THEN, after the restore, was the first time you tried to open those particular files after the first crash. You would then see that they are broken.
To sum this up: That's the only scenario I can imagine how to get something damaged "back from the grave". Apart from that, it may just be bad luck that your drive failed for the second time, and I am pretty certain that you don't have a defective backup.
I hope I made some things clear. Please let us know if you have any further questions, and don't be afraid if they might sound dumb to you. There's no such thing as a dumb question. Just dumb answers

Using Adobe Bridge file structure with iPhoto (latest version)

I use Adobe Bridge and have all my pics in named folders in Pictures/PICS/Folder Names. Inside the PICS folder is the iPhoto Library (only a few pics in it). Is there any way I can use the file structure I have set up with Bridge and iPhoto (latest) simultaneously? I really dont want to import (copy) all my pics into IPhot because I am pretty sure I will end up with two versions of each. I havent been able to manage pics manually the way I like to in older versions of iPhoto.

Here's some info to help you setup Photoshop for use with iPhoto:
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note 1: screenshots are from PSE 10
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

How to join 5 different tables using SQL to make it to a flat file structur

I am trying to load five differnt tables into one flat file structure table without cartesian product.
I have five different tables Jobplan, Jobtask(JT), Joblabor(JL), Jobmaterial(JM) and Jpsequence(JS) and the target table as has all the five tables as one table.

Moving a Folder from the iTunes Folder to My Own File Structure

I'm trying to move a folder from the default iTunes folder to a folder on another drive where I am managing the file structure. This allows me to file music as I would like to on the disk an makes things much easier to find when I need to.
Recently I've noticed that when I do this I lose some of the song meta data such as the image and rating which is kind of annoying. Is there any way to do this and not lose meta data?

If the external drive is in NTFS format (which is how most new drives are shipped), the Mac can't write to it. Reformat it with Disk Utility, putting it into Mac OS Extended format.

Imported par file to NWDS, jar file missing. Where find par file structure?

Hi All,
We want to implement idle session timeout on the portal. We found a wiki here on the subject. In order to implement the solution we need to make adjuestments to com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead.par.bak. When we import this par file to Netweaver Developer Studio, the libraries and jar files are missing. So obviously it errors then in portal as files are missing.
So I could add them manually but I don't know what the file structure is on this par file so don't where to add what. Does anyone know?
Also when I export the file after manually adding the missing files, will it export all the files or will it behave the same way as the import and leave out the additional files?
If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it,
Kind regards,
Liz.

Hi Bala,
I thought of that just before you responded and it worked!! Thanks for the response..

Need help understanding Time Capsule file structure and how to get it back

I have the original Time Capsule on which I backup both my Mac Pro and my wife’s Macbook. When Snow Leopard came out, I successfully used the ‘Restore from Time Machine’ feature on my Mac Pro so I know it has worked. However, my wife’s MacBook harddrive died the other day and I was trying to do the ‘Restore from Time Machine’ and all it would find was a backup from April (when I put her in a new larger drive). Time Machine would not find any backup files newer that April. She stated that she had seen the the Time Machine backup notices regularly and as recent as the day the haddrive died (Nov. 23) so I figured that I should have no problem. Here is what I have found in my trouble shooting and what leads to my questions below.
This is the file structure I found: (note that our ID’s are ‘Denise’ and ‘John’)
*Time Capsule* (the drive as listed in my Finder window sidebar under ‘shared’)
>Folder called ‘Time Capsule’ (when logged in as either ‘Denise’ or ‘John’)
>>Denise Sparsebundle
>>>Backup of Denise’s iBook (mounted image)
>>>>Folder called ‘Backups.backupdb’
>>>>>Folder called ‘Denise’s iBook
>>>>>>Single folder with old April backup (not the right files)
>>John Sparsebundle
>>>Backup of John’s Mac Pro (mounted image)
>>>>Folder called ‘Backups.backupdb’
>>>>>Folder called ‘John’s Mac Pro’
>>>>>>Folders containing all my backup files
>Folder Called ‘Denise’ (if logged as ‘Denise’)
>>Denise’s Sparsebundle (a disk image)
>>>Backup of Denise iBook (the mounted image. Name from old machine)
>>>>Backups.Backupdb
>>>>>Denise’s iBook (Contains the backup I need)
>Folder Called ‘John’ (if logged in as ‘John’)
>> (empty)
For some reason, my wife’s backup files are stored within a folder located at the top level of the Time Capsule drive called ‘Denise’, however, mine are within a folder called ‘Time Capsule’ which is at the same level as the ‘Denise’ folder.
For some reason, when trying to use Time Machine to recover, it bypasses the top level ‘Denise’ folder which contains the correct files and goes into the ‘Time Capsule’ folder and finds the outdated backup files.
I would assume that both my backup files and my wife’s should be at the same level of the Time Capsule.
I was eventually able to use Migration Assistant to recover the files after installing a fresh OS and mounting the correct Sparsebundle image.
So, my question, how do I get this fixed so that if I have to recover a drive with Time Capsule, it will find the correct files.
Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance for any help.

What I was trying to determine is why different backups for one particular machine are located at different file structure levels on my Time Capsule and why the most resent one for that machine is at a different level that for my other machine. Also, what is the correct level that both machines backups should be at.
well John, first can you clarify if you are on 10.4.8 as your profile suggests ? if so, i'm wondering how you can use TM at all because TM was introduced with Leo. if you're not on 10.4.8, please update your profile. if you could, please also indicate details of your machine such as available RAM, processor, etc.
second, what OS is your wife's machine running ?
third, i frankly don't know too much about TM's file structure or if there indeed is such a thing as the correct one. however, i do know that it is best to leave TM to do its thing (as long as it's working). FWIW, though off-topic, you may want to have a look at this read for further information.
last but not least, i see TM backups to my TC only as a part of my backup strategy. the backbone of my strategy is to create bootable clone of my startup disk(s) using e.g. Carbon Copy Cloner on a regular basis. while TM is capable of doing a full system restore, i don't trust it as much as a working clone. i use TM to retrieve a file i accidentally trashed a week ago but you cannot boot from a TM backup if your startup disk goes belly up.
If I have missed this information in either the FAQs or the Troubleshooting article, I would greatly appreciate being pointed to it .
i expect you didn't miss anything and i'm sorry you didn't find any help there. perhaps if Pondini (author of the FAQ and troubleshooting user tips) reads this thread, you will get the necessary advice on the file structure and more besides.
good luck to you !

AVCHD File Structure From MAC to PC

Hello,
I know this is sort of off topic but I need the expertise of this forum....
I am the videographer (mac user) for a speaking group and have to film speeches 5-7 minutes in length each week. The problem is how to get the videos to each person without processing on my Mac and uploading to youtube so they can see them.
I am Using a Canon HF10 and wonder if I could pop out the memory card from the camera put it in a card reader attached to a person's PC and transfer the files that way. I know that I would copy the entire file structure to their computer. I assume the PC person would have to have something that could work with the AVCHD files but I don't know what is on a PC computer these days. The other dilemma is that the speakers HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO COMPUTER skills.
Anyone have any ideas how to get the video to a viewable state without going through FCE.
thanks,
Al

I agree with Martin and might add that I was in a similar project late last year with several folks who certainly weren't as computer savvy as myself, and YouTube turned out to be the solution. That way I didn't have to deal with the perennial "I couldn't open it" comments you WILL receive. Everyone was able to view YouTube.
You might try uploading to Vimeo - I think you can actually upload .MTS files directly to their site, if you want to just post your raw footage. You could just get the files in the Finder directly from the file structure on the HF10, copy them to your Mac and upload from there. (I haven't tried this, but Vimeo's site says they accept .MTS files, which is what the HF10 videos will be, in the "STREAM" subfolder)
The downside is that their free account maxes out at 500MB of uploads per week. That may be enough for you but I don't know. If you pay, the limit is quite a bit higher.

File Structure with iTunes on an External Drive

This is an image of the file structure on my external drive that holds all of my iTunes music:
Is this correct, or should I have set it up differently? I am asking since it is differnet the the iTunes file structure on my MacBook Pro and some files will get uploaded to my external drive and others will go onto my MBP,s iTunes Music folder. All of my iPhone/iPad apps, Album Artwork, Mobile Applications. I have Book folders on both drives and the both have books on them.
I should say that I had a major problem a few years ago, which has nothing to do with the above problem, with one of the iTunes updates which disconnected most of my songs from their respective files. I tried a solution a friend sugested, which really messed up the files and now many of the files have different info inside the song files, i.e., Otis Redding as the Artist on a Radiohead track. Or another groups cover for a Beatles album. I have a large library and have gone through slowly and fixed many things, but it is still quite messy and a huge bummer.. As a proud new owner of a Late 2011 MacBook Pro, I would love to be able to have a solution for this as well.
TIA

Well I just went through the same thing. I had a Lacie Porsche mobile drive at 80GB and changed to a Lacie Rugged 250. I keep all my music on external never local. Not a fan of loading my laptop. Anyways.... I was getting those same errors. I had copied all the itunes library contents from the Porsche drive to the Rugged drive. It took quite some time to transfer so you knew it was working. Then changed in the preferences of iTunes to save in the Rugged drive. If you trashed or deleted any files from the new drive and just put them in the trash without emptying you get that 501 trashes path. I found I had multiple duplicates of songs with the name of the song followed by a 1.mp4a. I think the library.xml file is the key to a clean transfer of music. I think this file is stored locally in your user folder and then it's used to direct to the alternate drive but from what I've read it's the file with all the playlist information and stuff on it. If you find it and move it over to the mobile drive then hold option and boot up itunes then tell it to look for that file on the new mobile I think you'll have no worries. I'm actually gonna try this myself.
You don't want to know how it got it working. I physically opened every music file on the rugged drive to make sure the were all where they were supposed to be. All 70'gb's of music. Never doing that again.

Can't install windows it says the boot camp partition is not formatted as a NTFS file structure

Using boot camp assistant it gets to the point of installing windows 7 and it won't because the boot camp partition is not a NTFS file structure. It also seems strange to me that there are 5 partitions would have expect ether 2 or 3. Please help this is very frustrating.
Thanks in advance

Open, if not so already, the Windows formatter. Identify the BC Windows partition. It will be the one listed with the proper size you created and/or will be labeled as a C: drive. Be careful you select the right one or you may be corrupting the entire drive.
Format the partition as NTFS.

Issue with Target File structure

Hi Experts ,
                          Mine is a proxy to file scenerio. please suggest me on the below req. My target file structure should be as follows.
HDR:PARTNER,CHDAT,NEW_TEL,OLD_TEL,PREF_CONTACT_NO,TEL,EXXX_ID

This structure has 3 parts , header , body and trailer.
I am planning to create a target structure . Is it possible to get the field names of the structure in it
Header
     HeaderInfo : HDR:PARTNER,CHDAT,NEW_TEL,OLD_TEL,PREF_CONTACT_NO,TEL,EMAIL_ID
Body
1029382,28.02.2011,0782191829,049829329,Y,3,0

Footer
     Footer Info :FTR:UPDATE_VENDOR_CONTACTS_SRM_TO_EIS,01.03.2011 02.18.29,6
I will take care of the comma and the single line for header/footer and multiline for body in content conversion ,
In the footer I need date and time stamp along with total number of rows for the body.
How do I get the same .
Please suggest .
Arnab.

Hi,
Yes you can get the timestamp and count of no of records in the footer.
Please define your target structure like below
MT_
Records
Header ( o to 1)
    Headerdata
Items(0 to unbounded)
    field1
    fielld2
Footer
Footerdata
And in the mapping get the current dat using data function.
And then pass the Item node to the function count
Concat both of them along with the constants you need and assign to footer data..
Thanks

File Structure - Sender Communication Channel

Hi All,
My Sender flat file structure is below like this
Filed1|Field2|Field3|Field4|Field5|Field6
Filed1|Field2|Field3|Field4|Field5|Field6
Filed1|Field2|Field3|Field4|Field5|Field6
Filed1|Field2|Field3|Field4|Field5|Field6
Filed1|Field2|Field3|Field4|Field5|Field6
Filed1|Field2|Field3|Field4|Field5|Field6
I did the Sender Communication Channel configuration - Content Conversion
Document Name : XXX
Document NameSpace: XXXX
Recordset Structure: MT_Test,*
Recordset Sequence: Ascending
Key field Type: String Case-Sensitvie
MT_Test.fieldNames: Filed1,Field2,Field3,Field4,Field5,Field6
MT_Test.fieldSeparator: '|'
MT_Test.additionalLastFileds: ignore
MT_Test.endSeparator : 'nl'
ignoreRecordsetName: true.
But its pick the file, In SXMB_Moni show Currect...
But in Runtime workbench, in Communication Channel moni, it show below like this,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_Test xmlns:ns0="http://XXXXX">
<JOBS />
</ns0:MT_Test>
What is the Issue, where i missed some thing, In message mapping, its correct..
Thanks.
SR

SR,
I am still little confused with your below statement.
But its pick the file, In SXMB_Moni show Currect...
But in Runtime workbench, in Communication Channel moni, it show below like this,
>
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
> - <ns0:MT_Test xmlns:ns0="http://XXXXX">
> <JOBS />
> </ns0:MT_Test>
You mean to say that in MONI, the mapping output is fine, but when you check the output at RWB -> CC Monitoring for the Sender Channel, then you get the above mentioned XML?
This means that there is nothing wrong with your source CC settings. If the entry in RWB -> Sender CC is wrong, your MONI entry will never be right. So, this is really weird.
What is the source structure that you have defined in DT?
Regards,
Neetesh

File structure and hierarchy in Aperture.

Hi, everyone.
I am trying to import folders with images into Aperture and, much to my surprise, have found that this process is everyting but intuitive and straightforward.
My library (outside of Aperture) is made up of folders each corresponding to a day and location. These folders are labeled using the data and location as part of their name.
As I try to import these folders into Aperture I can't seem to import them into a single folder or project as sub-folders or sub-domains of that project. I have tried to create a project and them import the folders into it but Aperture won't import them into that project and doesn't allow me to drag and drop it either once it has been imported. I also tried to create albums and folders but haven't been successful.
How does this file structure in Aperture work in terms of hierarchy ? It certainly isn't structured the way the Finder is or any other file system I have seen to date. Creating folders, organizing them and bringing any type of data into these folders should be a simple process but in Aperture it doesn't seem to be.
Am I doing something wrong or is Aperture trying to re-invent the wheel ?
Is there any tutorial I can watch or read on how to work with Aperture's file structure and import folders and folders into it ?
Thank you in advance.

Regarding your specific problem I suggest treating each existing dated folder of image files as a single Project in Aperture. In Aperture a Project is a specific time-based concept that may or may not jive with what you previously considered a project. For instance I may have in my mind that shooting all the highest peaks in every state is a "project," but that would be inappropriate as an Aperture Project. Instead each peak might be a Project, but the pix of all the peaks would be pointed to as an Album.
The way I look at it conceptually:
Aperture is a database (DB), and each image file lives in one Project.
Albums are just collections of Pointers that point to individual image files living in one or more Projects. Since they just contain pointers, albums can be created or deleted at will without affecting image files. Very powerful. And Albums of pointers take up almost zero space, so they are fast and do not make the Library size grow.
Keywords can be applied to every image separately or in batches. Keywords are hugely powerful and largely obviate the need for folders. Not that we should never use folders, just that we should use folders only when useful organizationally - - after first determining that using keywords and albums is not a better approach.
As one example imagine the keyword "flowers." Every image of a 100,000 images Library that has some flowers in it has the keyword flowers. Then say we want to put flowers in an ad, or as background for a show of some kind, or to print pix for a party, or even just to look for an image for some other reason. We can find every flower image in a 100k-image database in 2 seconds, and in another few seconds create an Album called "Flowers" that points to all of those individual images.
Similarly all family pix can have a keyword "family" and all work pix can have a key word "work." Each individual pic may have any number of keywords. Such pic characteristics (work, family, flowers, etc.) should not be organized via folders.
So by using keywords and albums we can have instant access to every image everywhere, very cool. And keywords and albums essentially take up no space in the database.
Another approach is to use a folder "Family" for family pix, a folder "Flowers" for flowers pix and another folder "Work" for work pix. IMO such folders usage is a very poor approach to using an images database (probably stemming from old paper or film work practices). Note that one cannot put an image with family in a field of flowers at a work picnic in all three folders; but it is instant with keywords.

Idoc data in flat file structure

Dear Experts,
We have idoc data in flat file structure. We need to fetch it using ftp and map it to an idoc.
please tell me how to proceed .
Thanks,
Aju

Hi,
For flat file you need to use the File content conversion parameters.
Refer the blog,
SAP Network Blog: How to process flat files with multiple documents like POs, SOs etc. in a File to IDoc scenario

IPhoto 11 file structure

I had my laptop stolen recently and have my iPhoto library backed up using Carbonite. I have been trying to restore it from Carbonite, however, at the rate it is restoring it will take months to restore. I have a locally backed up version of my iPhoto library from two months ago. What I want to do is just restore from Carbonite photos taken over the past 2 months and then I'll re-add those to the local backup I have. The problem I have is that I'm finding the iPhoto Library file structure really hard to navigate through and work out. Where would I find the photos from the past couple of months (it is under Masters?). Also where is the metadata I would have added when I imported them to iPhoto (file name, faces info, keywords etc.).
I've tried to find online something that explains the file structure without success.
Thanks,
David

the iPhoto library is a SQL database - you can not reconstruct it in pieces - the best you can do is to restore your local i{Photo library and then get the recent photos from the masters folder and import them to the library
Metadata is stored in the database - file names are as imported (iPhoto does not modify file names)
