May 11, 2009I was just wondering if there's a way to reduce the frequency of time machine backups.

Jan 12, 2009upgraded to Leopard a couple of weeks ago, tried to get Time Machine working with my external hard drive, and was happy initially with the results.
But on further inspection, time machine is backing up my entire computer every hour. How can i stop this to only back up what has changed.
Also, i want to make my external Hard Drive the main disc where everything goes, not just use it as a back up. How can i do this? I tried to do this with my iTunes library but now if i download a new track it immediately saves onto my computer hard drive.
Also, the songs i already had on my laptop are backed up onto my time machine, but they aren't in the same folder as the other stuff which i uploaded after moving the iTunes folder onto my Hard drive, they are still with the backed up stuff.

Apr 16, 2012I have a iMac G5 (PPC chip) running OS 10.5.8 (256 GB HD). Hooked up to the computer is a Time Machine wireless router/backup drive (500GB). The computer HD is currently using 112 GB and the Time Machine has backed up 310 GB.
The problem is that every hour the Time Machine starts backing up and doesn't finish for anywhere from 35 to 45 minutes, then starts again the next hour. This is getting to the point where system performance is getting very slow. Even if there has been very little activity, the backup happens and the computer slows to a crawl Is this normal? I would hope that minor changes created during an hour would result in a very quick backup, but evidently this is not the case.

Hardware :: Time Machine Backs Up 1.2 GB Every Time
Oct 8, 2009I loaded windows on a separate drive yesterday and ever since my time machine has been backing up around 1.2 GB every time. I had to leave my computer on while I was on campus today and 5 or 6 backups in a row were for ~1.2 GB. I noticed just now that it started at about 36 MB which made sense but then shot up to 1.2 GB. What could be going on here? Has anyone had a similar experience?
View 5 Replies View RelatedOS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Discrepancies / Limitations On How Time Machine Backs Up?
Apr 30, 2012I have a Macbook Pro and a Macbook with Snowleopard 10.6.8 installed on both. I back up both laptops on a single Western Digital External Hardrive configured for two partitions so that each laptop has their own Time Machine back up volume. This external drive is connected directly to my Macbook Pro via Firewire 800 where the first partition is reserved for its time machine back up. Therefore, my regular Macbook connects to the second partition over the local area network since I turned on file sharing for this drive. When I click and view the Macbook Pro's partition, it shows a folder called Backups.backupdb which obviously has the time machine backup contents for this laptop.
When I click on and view the second partition for my regular Macbook which connects to it via the local area network, it shows some kind of dmg file called "John's Macbook.sparsebundle". When I click on the file, it mounts and shows the folder Backup.backupdb which has this laptop's time machine backup contents. Why is the Macbook pro partition showing a folder where the Macbook partition shows some kind of dmg file?
I also noticed that I can't see the time machine backup for the Macbook if I try restoring from a fresh install of Snowleopard (going through the initial setup of using the OS where it asks if you want to restore from a time machine backup). It only shows the Macbook Pro as an availble restore option. The only way I can see the time machine back up as a restore option for the Macbook, I have to boot from the snowleopard DVD, click on Utilities from the top menu, and click on Restore System from backup.

OS X Technologies :: Time Machine Always Backs Up Entire Hard Drive?
May 13, 2012Every time I back up to my external drive Time Machine automatically backs up the whole hard drive which is very time consuming. This happens every time I back up. It's supposed to only add new files, not do the whole thing. Haven't changed user name or any of the things mentioned in other discussions that will cause this. Does some setting need to be changed?

Intel Mac :: Time Machine Backs Up 256G SSD But Now Skips The Internal 1TB ATA
May 28, 2012Time Machine has been working flawlessly for over a year. But now something strange is happening. TM reflects changes on my 256G SSD internal drive but not my internal 1TB ATA drive. I have an iMac i7 2011. I have an external 2TB WD drive that I backup to and it's nowhere near at capacity. My 1TB ATA, under TM, shows me a state that's a few weeks old and no changes I make are backed up, even when I perform a manual backup.
I've checked the console log. There's nothing out of the ordinary: 28/05/12 8:29:18 PMcom.apple.backupd[2535]Starting standard backup28/05/12 8:29:18 PMcom.apple.backupd[2535]Backing up to: /Volumes/My Book/Backups.backupdb28/05/12 8:29:19 PMcom.apple.backupd[2535]No pre-backup thinning needed: 835.7 MB requested (including padding), 1.62 TB available28/05/12 8:29:23 PMcom.apple.backupd[2535]Copied 383 files (75 KB) from volume iMac-HD-SSD-256GB.28/05/12 8:29:24 PMcom.apple.backupd[2535]Copied 388 files (75 KB) from volume iMac-HD-ATA-1TB.28/05/12 8:29:25 PMcom.apple.backupd[2535]Starting post-backup thinning28/05/12 8:29:25 PMcom.apple.backupd[2535]No post-back up thinning needed: no expired backups exist28/05/12 8:29:25 PMcom.apple.backupd[2535]Backup completed successfully.

Applications :: IPhoto - Time Machine Backs Up Entire Upgraded Library
Jan 26, 2009Watch out in Time Machine after you install and upgrade your iPhoto '09 library. My Time Machine just did a fresh backup of it....all 40GB of it! Basically it gave me the same Node require deep traversal on just the iPhoto Library....so I'm guessing it had something to do with the upgrade.

Mar 26, 2012I have been using Time Machine on a MacBook Pro for months to back up to a LaCie back up drive. All worked fine until January--since then, when TM is scheduled to back up, I get a "preparing" message that can run for hours, and eventually (though not always) I get an error message. I typically back up through a wireless network (TM creates a Sparsebundle) but I also tried connecting my laptop directly to the back up drive and that doesn't work either. As far as I can tell, there is nothing wrong with the laptop's hard drive--and there is plenty of room on the back up drive for all the content. MacBook is running OS X 10.5.8.

Jun 19, 2014Have made many manual Time machine Back ups that calculated the differnce and adjusted the differnce in what was then saved. The very size of the external HD did not roll over. Yet the calculation states a entire new Back Up. Is this a permission changing issue? Or what?

Jun 25, 2012Since July 27th 2011 my time capsule (connecte via ethernet cable) did not back up any iMovie, Final Cut Pro nor iTunes files.But it did back up any other files. I did not exclude any of the mentioned files from backing up.
Maybe I installed around July 2011 an update of Mac OS, I am not sure. I have not been able to find any answer to this problem in any forum.I used disk utility to verify and repair the time capsule but it shows no problems.When I enter time machine everything greys out when I go inside the finder window to the iMovie or iTunes filkes.

OS X Yosemite :: Restoring Safari Bookmarks From Time Machine
Dec 4, 2014Somehow bookmarks in one of my Safari bookmark folders got deleted in the course of attempting to move the folder. When I go into time machine to restore an earlier version of my book marks time machine does not display the contents of the caches folder where I understand the Safari bookmarks are kept, i.e. ~/library/caches/metadata/safari/bookmarks..
Is there a way to get time machine to display contents of the caches and metadata folders? If not, is there another way to restore an earlier version of my Safari bookmarks? I have separate backups on external drives in addition to the time machine backup.

Mar 9, 2007This is probably very simple, but how can I remove the history that resides in Safari's address bar?
I guess I could "reset Safari", but then I'd lose all my cookies, and I don't want to do that.
I already emptied the cache, cleared history, restarted Safari, even turned on Private Browsing. The darn address bar history is still there.
