Will Time Machine (TM) reset my backups if I upgrade my internal HD ???

Hi everyone,
I am upgrading my internal HD (160GB HD) on my MBP to a larger one (WD 320GB HD). However, I will be upgrading it while having my system cloned; for this reason, I would like to know, if and when I connect my computer to the TM HD, I will be risking to lose any of my previous backups? Or, will TM recognize my system because I had it upgraded from a clone? Does it make any difference if I backup my information and instal the system from the beginning (Mac OS X DVDs), I mean to TM previous backups?
Any help will be truly appreciated.

I had a problem on the other side, the USB backup drive. TM re-started my backup from scratch after I moved the drive! Here's what happened:
Started with Time Machine backing up to USB hard drive connected directly to MacBook Pro. Had about three months of backups.
Moved USB hard drive to Airport Extreme as a network drive. Mounted drive to MacBook Pro. Since it still had the same name, Time Machine recognized it and started backing up to the drive in its new location (on AEBS).
In this scenario, I would have hoped that my backup would simply continue, but it started over on the day when I moved it to the AEBS!
BEING ABLE TO MOVE FROM USB TO WIRELESS WOULD BE SO GREAT:
For long backups I could connect it directly to my MacBook Pro. Or even take the drive with me while traveling (for backups/restore while away), then return to wireless backups when I get home.
Has anyone had a different experience?

  • Will time machine do a full backup of external volume (extra storage) after new logic board?

    I have a MacBook Pro running leopard, that just had the logic board replaced. I haven't picked it up yet, but I am told that my hard drive and data were not touched.
    I have read Pondini's very helpfull info/site, so I know that time machine will want to start a new set of backups.
    Here is my question, based on my setup:  in addition to the internal HD, I have a firewire drive for additional storage of files. Time machine backs up both volumes to another, larger, FireWire drive
    Now, after the new logic board, will time machine make a whole new copy of the external storage drive as well as the internal?  Or just the internal?
    Basically, I know time machine will think it's on a new machine, but will it treat the external storage as if it were new as well?
    I would appreciate any help or advice you can give me.  Thanks. 

    Still no answer? I do have the same trouble on my iMac G5 PPC with 10.5.8: I just replaced the MOB and Time Machine insists to create a new bkup! Attempted with "tmutil" command but doesn't work on my OS...it is really impossible to tell the machine to learn the new address? I DON'T want to believe it!
    Tks for any help

  • I just moved iPhoto (9.6) library to EHD from my MBP. I had been running time machine backups. With the library now on an EHD, will time machine run a seamless backup next time i connect  (if i allow TM to see other drives)?

    I have MBP 2012 running Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6. I run Time machine backups daily.
    I just moved iPhoto library to EHD and removed the iPhoto library on MBP. I have enabled external drives to be accessed on TM. The next time i run a TM backup with the EHD  connected, will TM run a seamless backup or will it not like the fact that a backup is now spread across two devices where it used to be on only one?

    By default EHDs are excluded for TM backups - you have to go to the TM preferences ==> options and remove them from the excluded list
    And you need two disks connected -one for your iPhoto library and one for the TM backup - TM will backup all hard drives that ar not excluded - you do not need  multiple TM backup disks

  • What will Time Machine/T.C. actually backup?

    1. A firewire drive mounted.
    2. a NAS drive mounted.
    3. Of the mac's files, will it take everything, OS included, or just the documents/movies/music it finds? What about the desktop junk? Can you specify what?
    4. Can you tell T.M. when to do the backups? or does it interrupt you all the time?
    I have a time capsule, it's working, but I have yet to delve into using it as a backup. I can't decide if I should use the drive in the TC as it's intended purpose, a backup (which I would then backup again to a USB attached drive), or keep using my Lacie NAS as my main backup, and then backup everything to the T.C. and only use an external for a 3rd level of backup that I take off-site once a month.
    Thoughts?

    The general rule of thumb is that you need about twice as much space on the backup drive for Time Machine as you are using on your computer. In other words, if your files use 250 GB on your computer, ideally you would want to have 500 GB available for Time Machine backups. This will allow Time Machine to build a long history of backups. If you don't need to go back in time more than a few weeks or months, you can get by with less storage space.

  • Time Machine: Missing Snow Leopard backups after Lion Upgrade.

    I regulary use Time Machine for backups to my WD drive through my network.  After I upgraded to Lion I could not back up to my network drive   I learned through various forums that my WD drive required a firmware update, to work with Lion.  I upgraded the firmware and now  I no longer have my Time Machine backups from Snow Leopard, only backups from Lion, any idea how I can locate my Snow Leopard backups?

    Pondini wrote:
    I'd be the first to agree that keeping two sets of backups, one a "clone," is prudent.
    But if you have a Snow Leopard clone, then upgrade to Lion, the next time you update the clone you'll lose the Snow Leopard version entirely.
    Yes, I was caught out early, so I have a selection of backup drives now to keep everything backed up as safely as possible. Although at the moment, I'm not seeing any reason to go back to Snow Leopard, and all my media is safe. Hopefully in the near future my SL backups can go and I can get ready for the next OS when it comes along.
    Thanks

  • Time Machine not making hourly backups since Mavericks upgrade

    Recently upgraded to Mavericks from Lion 10.7.5 (took 14 hr.). Since then, when I enter Time Machine (without being connected to my external backup drive) I get a notification "your time machine backup disc can not be found". The only options given are to "set up time machine" (which I have done) or "cancel". My previous backups to my external hard drive are shown in the back ground but can not be opened and there are no hourly or weekly backups shown.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Due to NAS issues, when I started a new time machine backup it did not have the old backups available. My question is do I need to delete them or will time machine automatically reclaim the space?  Only one Sparse Bundle, same name.

    Due to NAS issues, when I started a new time machine backup it did not have the old backups available. My question is do I need to delete them or will time machine automatically reclaim the space?  There is only one sparse bundle but when I enter time machine I don't see my historic backups.  I use a synology DS212 for my time machine.  Started a new backup which is 218gb but it says 618 gb is occupied  therefore it looks like 2 or 3 backups are still on the disk. Before my NAS issues the last backup was in 2014.  As you can see there is a second sparse bundle from 2012.  Not sure what that is.

    This is an old message now, but what happened to me similarly was:
    I had a major computer crash and through complicated pathways ended up reinstalling (Mavericks) as a new user (long story).
    At least I had good Time Machine backups on an NAS drive (Synology DS212j), or so I thought - when I started Time Machine up again, the old backup file was gone, replaced by a new one using my "new computer" name. The old file was gone both by directly mounting the NAS drive and by clicking "Enter Time Machine".
    It's like I had {OldShareName}.sparsebundle and then it was replaced by {NewShareName}.sparsebundle, all of the old info vanished.
    (I have spent a week finding old files elsewhere and have completed a satisfactory self-restore. It pays to "archive" [my own variation of] as well as "back-up".)
    My belief is that if this were a wired-netword-drive, e.g. plugged right into my iMac with a USB cable, then the old file would have remained.
    But this is an NAS drive, connected directly to my Airport wireless router, and I don't know the significance of the fact that it stores its Time Machine backups as "sparsebundle" files rather than simply as plain(er) files.
    As usual when things get complicated with computers (not just Apple computers) there was never a warning message. Something like "YOU'RE ABOUT TO DELETE A TIME MACHINE BACK-UP FILE!!!" would have made my life a lot simpler.
    BTW, I did try a "restore from Time Machine" option the first thing I had my "new computer" (old hardware, 2009 iMac) up and running, using Migration Assistant, and it ran for many hours and then failed in the wee hours - what that has to do with anything I'm not sure.
    I'm not sure that I have a question about this other than "why do these things happen to me?", but it's a warning. Apart from that I've been very happy with the stability and reliability (but not the cost or set-up complexity) of NAS vs. directly-cabled external drives.

  • Time Machine no longer recognizes backup file

    Hi:
    My Time Capsule was malfunctioning, and I lost my internet connection. I rebooted the Time Capsule, and had to reset the internet connection via the Time Capsule software that's part of System Preferences. When I got my internet connection back up and running, Time Machine can no longer connect to Time Capsule. When it tries to back up, I get this error message...
    "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Aquaria-2/JHitch’s Computer_0017f2ce01da.sparsebundle” is already in use.
    It's like Time Machine thinks that my backup file on my Time Capsule belongs to somebody else. How can I get Time Machine to go back to using my old backup file on my Time Machine?

    I have had this exact problem occur when I logged off while Mail was in TM restore state. I guess the backup is locked somehow because it was cut off while in use. I wish I could help, but I am in the same boat and I will watch this post for help.

  • In Time Machine "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while completing the backup folder

    Time machine fails to complete backup

    I've been getting the Unable to Complete Backup error message for several days.  Last good back up was 11-22-13 at 11:13PM.  I am running an iMac with OS-X 10.7.5.
    I did the above steps in Console and got a huge string of lines; I tried to edit all repeitious ones that were the same, but still ended up with a lot of lines that seemed to develop more different processes over a few days.  Sorry to put all this stuff in here, but I don't honestly know what to make of all of this code language.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

  • Time Machine doesn't make backups

    Hi,
    I have problems with Time Machine. I deleted by error the backup file in Time Capsule, but now Time Machine doesn't create a new one, simply it doesn't work. External disks are recognized (Time Capsule or USB disk) but it doesn't make backups, only appears the "preparing" for one or two seconds and then nothing. It's the same if I try to make backups on a external USB disk.
    I can not enter to Time Machine to see the backups.
    Looking at "Console" for the last logs there many crash reported, for example:
    18/02/09 11:59:26 /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[3053] Backup requested by user
    18/02/09 11:59:26 /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[3053] Starting standard backup

    Any one with a similar problem???
    Is it possible to reset Time Machine in order to restart the backups?
    I bought Time Capsule and I can't use Time Machine!!!!
    Thanks.

    Hello!
    Thanks for your message. The Time Machine Buddy widget was helpful. Although I couldn't mark the text, copy and insert it here.
    You should be able to highlight them by dragging your mouse over them, then cmd-C to copy to the clipboard, then cmd-V to copy it here.
    Event store UUID don't match for Volume: Macintosh HD
    This means TM isn't sure whether the last changes to your internal HD got logged to OSX's File System Event Store, a log of all changes that TM can normally use to see what needs to be backed-up. Most commonly caused by an abnormal shutdown.
    Node requires deep traversal:/
    Reason: kFSEDBE even FlagMustScanSubDrs /kFSEDBE vent Flag Reason Deep Backup/
    Since it can't trust the Event Store, this means it has to examine every file and folder on your HD. Quite a lengthy procedure, of course.
    Then it said - I didn't copy that - something like "thinning out" isn't necessary because there was still 368 GB or so space left - 7 GB were backed up - but it did "thin out" some outdated file afterall, whatever that is - hope it didn't delete something I wanted to keep.
    All normal. TM automatically deletes it's hourly backups after 24 hours, except the first of the day, which is called a Daily backup. That is kept for a month, when a similar process converts the first of a week into a Weekly backup, and deletes the others.
    Only when the disk is near full (TM does need some workspace) will you see deletion of one or more of the oldest weeklies, instead of the first message.
    Then the next problem started. It wasn't possible to eject the external drive. I waited for quite some time but each time tried to eject it, a window opened saying that it was still in use and could not be ejected. Although it had defenitely finished doing the backup and the next one was to be done about half an hour later.
    Is there anything else on your external drive, besides TM backups? Could you have been looking at it via the Finder, when you tried to eject it?
    Try this: de-select the drive (chose the "none" icon) in TM's preferences, then quit System Preferences. Then go back and re-select it. Sometimes this resets TM's lock on the drive.
    If not, and it happens again, try turning TM off, then ejecting the TM drive. You shouldn't have to do this -- TM is supposed to let you eject it, then automatically do another backup whenever you re-connect it.
    Now that you have a good full backup, just keep an eye on it. Your incremental backups should be very, very quick under normal circumstances.
    There are a few things that may cause long backups, such as an abnormal shutdown, certain hardware repairs, not letting TM back up for several days (seems to be about 10, some say), and the use of certain apps. File Vault, Entourage, vmWare, running Windoze are a few. If you do see long backups, post the messages here in a new thread.

  • Time Machine reports identity of backup disk has changed

    Hello! A few weeks ago I purchased a new 15" Retina MacBook Pro and a new 2TB Time Capsule. Every day or two I get an error informing me that the identity of my backup disk has changed. I finally got sick of this so I turned off Time Machine, deleted the preferences file, wiped the Time Capsule drive, and restored the Time Capsule settings to factory, and started fresh. However, I'm still seeing this error.
    Some minor details: The Time Capsule is named "AirPort Time Capsule," as is the volume on it. I initially had a second hard drive at my office configured as a second Time Machine target, but after I started fresh with Time Machine, I didn't set up the second target, and am seeing the same message. I am also using Encrypted Backups.
    Any suggestions would be great, I'm not sure if this is a bug in Mavericks, a bug with my Time Capsule, or something indicative of a hardware issue either at my MBP or my Time Capsule.

    Any one of those is possible, and you have taken reasonable steps to resolve it. I suggest deleting the following file, which will reset Time Machine. Turn off Time Machine first, and make sure a backup is not in progress.
    Triple click to select the entire line, then control-click and select Services > Reveal in Finder. Drag the selected file to the Desktop, or directly to the Trash:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
    This will not delete your existing backups.
    Turn on Time Machine and reselect your backup volume. The effect of deleting that file will cause erroneous values to be shown in the "backing up xxx of yyy" messages until the subsequent backup.
    If this does not resolve the problem contact AppleCare because you should not be having these difficulties.

  • I just bought and backed up my computer and time machine with a "Seagate BackUp Plus for Mac". Now my time machine is empty. Panicked. can anyone help?

    I just bought and backed up my computer and time machine with a "Seagate BackUp Plus for Mac". Now my time machine is empty. Panicked. can anyone help?

    Lets start over...
    Please restart the network.. shut down everything..
    Restart in order.. modem.. router.. if different to TC.. or TC.. client devices.. wait 2min between each startup.
    If the TC does not show up on the computer, in finder.. then we need more info.. what OS are you running?
    Does the TC show up in Airport utility? Are you running wireless or ethernet?
    If you still have issues.. plug the TC directly into the computer by ethernet.
    Do a full factory reset of the TC.. and see if it now shows up.
    Please tell us exactly what model TC it is and how old.. the A1xxx model number from the base will help if you don't know.
    You take a screen shot of the TC opened in finder.
    eg..
    My TC is named Tardis4.. click on it.. and then open the data folder.. on this one called Tardisdata.
    Then take a screen shot of it so we can see what the problem is.. screenshot.. with area selection.. control + shift + 4 .. the picture goes into the desktop.. and then you click the picture icon in the posting web page controls and select the picture.

  • How will Time Machine react? Moving iPhoto Library from one HDD to another

    Hi,
    I had to move my iPhoto library from one external drive to another. The iPhoto library was backed up via time machine.
    Is there a way that I can "teach" Time Machine that the iPhoto-Backup from the old hard drive now belongs to the new drive???
    Greetings from Austria!
    EDIT:
    I haven't made a backup since moving the iphoto library. But now I wonder, maybe: Will time machine automatically recognize that the iphoto library just has been moved? And that it's not a "new" library?

    If you have any problems with the library in the new account you might have to download and run BatChmod on the library to reset the ownership and permissions to the new account owner for all of the files in the library.  User the settings shown in the screenshot below:
    Click to view full size
    For Owner use the owner name for that account.  If the account uses a different Group then use it also.  You can find the group name by seleting a file in your other account and typing Control+i to bring up the Info window.  The ownership and group will be shown near the bottom.

  • I am trying to get space on an external hard drive which has some old time machine back up files that I do not need but can not eliminate, even by going into the time machine, clicking on the backup file to be eliminated and using the drop down eliminate

    I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
    You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots.  Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
    See Pondini's page for more explanation:   What are Local Snapshots?   http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
    You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.  
    The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library.  Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.
