Why shows the disk information 150GB Backup data, when the TimeMachine Backup is on another disk?

Hi,
i'm using Time Machine to make my backups to my NAS (Synology DS211j). This is working.
But when i'm using the disk information (about my mac) there are 150GB Backup data stored on the disk of the mac.
What is this for a backup, when time machine backups the data to an external disk?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
When you turn on Time Machine on a MacBook, MacBook Pro or MacBook Air with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, your Mac creates automatically "local snapshots" on the startup disk > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html That's why you have 150 GB of backups on the internal drive

  • Why do my 5c and 5s use data when I am on WiFi? And why does it show up in regular intervals of 6 hours? Very strange.

    I am really having problem controlling the data usage. It seems that iPhone 5c and 5s both use data when wifi is available. And plus, the data seems to be dumped all at once every 6 hours most of the time. I know I am neither uploading nor downloading 140MB over data at 7am. DOes anyone know how to control this?
    I switched off almost all background data usage (except messages). I am not on facebook etc. What is going on?

        Thanks for trying Jay's suggestion, zole. The iPhone should still be able to use WiFi to send and receive iMessages. By design though, Apple devices will turn off WiFi when the phone goes dormant (screen turns off) so if you are in the midst of downloading something or a new message comes in, the phone will be using the available mobile data by default.  You can turn cellular data on or off for individual applications http://vz.to/1IuZJIM instead of completely shutting off the cellular data. In that same section, you can see what applications may be using more cellular data than others to go into that specific app for settings (for example, if Facebook is using a lot of data, go into the application's settings and make sure the video autoplay is turned to WiFi only).

  • Highlighting  Source Data When Chart is been moved to Another Sheet?

    Hi,
    I know that when a chart is chosen, it's corresponding data becomes highlighted when the two (table and chart) are on the same sheet. Is there a way to highlight the data when the two are on separate sheets, so one could toggle between the two sheets and make changes as necessary? I know I can move the chart back to the data sheet, make the changes and then move it back again to its own sheet. I have to do this, anyway, if I want to crop the chart (without deleting data) or shift the data in the chart to the right by a column or two, for example, but it would be so much nicer, if I could just highlight the data 'remotely' from the chart, so-to-speak. I have a couple of other reasons for wanting to do this also:
    (1) I make my charts almost full screen size, so moving them back to the data sheet cuts them off (tough to see any changes without scrolling or shrinking the chart).
    (2) I have multiple data tables on one sheet with multiple charts to complement the data tables. Putting all the charts and data on the same sheet can make for one very untidy sheet no matter how big the screen.
    I've looked around on the forum and in Numbers Help, but found only one reference to moving charts to separate sheets. Unfortunately, it didn't address this particular issue. If I can suggest this to the Numbers developers, where can I go?
    Thanks!

    Hello
    The only workaround that I found is to use an auxiliary table in the sheet where you display the chart.
    In this auxiliary table the used formula is:
    =Feuille 1 :: Tableau 1 :: A

    hi guys,
    Actually we have designed a search engine that displays results of candidates in a JTable upon clicking the 'Search' button.
    we also have 'Advance Further' button to proceed to another form (form1)which allows the user to further narrow down the search.
    well my problem is that how to display the search results in the JTable of main screen upon clicking 'Search' button in the form1.
    Please can anyone help me in solving this.

    They are oprations on table model data.
    Study the DefaultTableModel class and effects of their table data manipulation methods.
    They surely would serve your purpose.

  • How to convert data when transferring from one table to another

    I have two tables and these are the structure of the tables

    ,GENDER VARCHAR2(10));
    create table E2(
    ID NUMBER
    ,NAME VARCHAR2(30)
    , DESIGNATION VARCHAR2(3)
    ,GENDER NUMBER); Now I want to transfer records from one table to another using a master tables where data are compared because the datatypes in tables are different
    The first one is a gender table to match the gender and convert
    create table Gender(
    E1 varchar2(10),
    E2 number);The second is for the designation
    create table Designation(
    E1 varchar2(30),

    Can we do it with the help of a cursor.
    All SQL executed by the database are parsed as cursors and executed as cursors.
    I mean I have to insert data in bulk and I want to use cursor for it.The read and write (select and insert) are done by the SQL engine. The read part reads data and passes it to the write part that inserts the data.
    Now why would using PL/SQL and bulk processing make this faster? It will reside in-between the read part and the write part being done by the SQL engine.
    So the SQL engine reads the data. This then travels all the way to the PL/SQL engine as a bulk collect. PL./SQL then issues an insert (the write part to be done by the SQL engine). And now this very same data travels all the way from the PL/SQL engine to the SQL engine for insertion.
    So just how is this approach, where you add extra travel time to data, faster?
    and i want to commit the transaction after every 50 recordsWhy? What makes you think this is better? What makes you think you have a problem with not committing every 50 rows?

  • HT1414 I'm trying to restore from an earlier backup but my iphone only shows the most recent. I'm on Windows Vista and found the backup folder. If I delete the recent files, will it force the iPhone to backup from the next older file?  Why doesn't it show

    I'm trying to recover a file and the app company said to restore from an earlier backup.  My iPhone only shows the most recent backup.  I've been searching the net for answers - I found the back up file and date sorted them (over 6mb of files).  How can I get my iPhone to restore from an earlier backup? 
    I am on Windows Vista so I don't have Time Machine. 
    I have backed up the backup folder so if I mess it up, I have it in a separate place.
    Can I just delete all the files with todays date in that backup folder and have it forced to the next oldest date?
    Why doesn't the iPhone show a list of the least several backups.
    Info:
    iPhone 4S
    Software version  5.1.1
    Backed up to computer through iTunes (not iCloud)

    As you backup the iPhone in iTunes, it overwrites the last backup. Files are kept as they are changed, so that would explain how you get different dates in your backup folder. The only backups that are saved and not overwritten are the ones done just prior to a restore. You do have the option to go back in time on a Windows computer, however depending on the last time you set a restore point in Windows, it could be back further than you are willing to go.

  • Why are the date and time not updating in backups.backupdb folder?

    I just started using Time Machine on my early 2011 MacBook Pro running 10.7.2. After the initial full back-up and first few updates, the backup folder (on an external 1.5 TB Firewire drive) continues to show the original "date modified" of the very first back-up and lists the size as a ridiculous 2.48 GB. (Using BackupLoupe, I know it actually is 280 GB, reflecting the size of my internal HD). Any idea why this folder's info is not updating in the finder (even using "Get Info")? Are my back-ups really there? (It certainly seems so according to BackupLoupe).

    First, the best way to view or restore from your backups is via the Time Machine display, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15.  Using the Finder is not recommended.
    Do not worry about the dates.  First, the date modified only applies to the "parent" folder; that's not the Backups.backupdb folder, but the one inside it that's named for your Mac.
    Don't worry about the sizes, either.  On Leopard and Snow Leopard, the size of a backup folder was the total size of all the items that were on your Mac at the time of that backup (less exclusions).  On Lion, however, it's the "unique size" -- the size of items that appear only on that backup.

  • Why is the date of my last iphone backup in itunes not updating?

    I plug in my iphone 4S at night and it goes through the process of backing it up and syncing my apps, which appears to be progressing normally. However the date showing for my last backup hasn't changed since the beginning of Feb.
    Does anyone know why? I have this terrible feeling that my backup isn't getting updated, but the apple software isn't smart enough to tell me that it failed.
    Thanks,
    Bill
    PS - all of my software, itunes and the OS on the phone are all up to date. (v 6.1.3)

    I get the same problem. I moved the backup files (B1) to another drive and then itunes generated new backup files (B2) for my iPhone. They seem to be of similar size. Due to my running out of space on my system drive, I've linked the backup folder to another drive. This is where I moved my original backups (B1). After I did that, the iPhone seems to sync but once again, the date of the backup did not change. I have no idea what the issue is. I'll save both B1 and B2.
    To be sure you've got an up to date backup, I recommend changing the name of the original backup folder to backup2 and then forcing itunes to make a new backup from scratch.
    On a windows machine, the backup folder is found at:
    C:\Users\(Username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

  • I updated my iMac to Mountain Lion. All the files were deleted. I have Time Machine backups. When I restart the mac pressing Command R to restore from backup it shows the previous OS X (Leopard) beside the date of the backup. Will it go back if I restore?

    I updated my iMac to Mountain Lion. All the files were deleted. I have Time Machine backups. When I restart the mac pressing Command R to restore it from the backup it shows the previous OS X (Leopard) beside the date of the backup that I want to select. Will it go back to Leopard if I restore it from the backup?

    No, it won't revert to the prior OS X but you you may have third party apps installed that were compatible with Lion that may not be compatible with Mountain Lion.

  • Why is the Microsoft Office Access Database Engine data source looking for a workgroup information file?

    While trying to import to MSSQL2012 from SSDT using the wizard from an Access 2013 DB (.accdb) which is password protected, I get the following error with the username blank and the password field correctly populated: 
    Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user. (MicrosoftOffice Access Database Engine)
    But according to this link:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/what-happened-to-user-level-security-HA010342116.aspx
    MSA10 and beyond shouldn't need workgroup information files, although it's not clear to me if they are
    created/used or not.
    I can point the wizard to some local version of system.mdw at Advanced -> All -> Jet OLEDB:System Database, and then the error becomes:
    Not a valid account name or password. (Microsoft Office Access Database Engine)
    for any username I can think of.
    Questions:
    1.  Why does this data source insist on looking for a workgroup information file even though user-level security should be disabled?
    2.  Why does the Open dialog box for the Microsoft Access Database Engine have *.mdb as the only selectable filetype?
    3.  How can I get around these errors for an .accdb that is password protected?
    Thanks!

    Hi JordanPG,
    To connect to Access 2007 or later database, we need the Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB driver. SQL Server only installs the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB driver which can be used to connect to Access 2003 or earlier database. Besides, the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB
    driver only has 32-bit version, but the Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB driver has both 32-bit and 64-bit version. However, the 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB drivers cannot be installed on a single server.
    According to your description, you can use the 64-bit SQL Server Import and Export Wizard to load data from the Access database, so the 64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB driver is installed on your computer. Since the BIDS/SSDT is a 32-bit application, the
    64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB Provider is not visible in BIDS/SSDT. So, when you said that you select “Microsoft Access (Microsoft Access Database Engine)" in the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard (it is actually the 32-bit version) started by the SSDT,
    I think it should be “Microsoft Access (Microsoft Jet Database Engine)”. Because the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB driver only supports Access 2003 or earlier format, it threw the error “Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Unrecognized
    database format 'C:\myDB.accdb'”.
    In this situation, you have two approaches to avoid this issue:
    Launch the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard (64-bit), and select “Save SSIS Package” to “File System” on the “Save and Run Package” page. Then, the package will be saved to a specified directory. After that, you can add this existing package to a SSIS
    project. The status of the corresponding OLE DB Connection Manager should be Work Offline, or the OLE DB Source will throw an error about 32-bit driver if the Connection Manager is not in Work Offline status, you can ignore that and the package can run successfully
    in SSDT as long as the project is set to run in 64-bit runtime mode.
    However, for the SSDT 2012 integrated with Visual Studio 2012, the 64-bit runtime mode is disabled. In this situation, to run the package in SSDT, you have to uninstall the 64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB drivers and install the 32-bit one. Here is the
