lost. And Mac OS X Time Machine, while it does have a very pretty interface, is inclined to get stuck sometimes. This is my own story of how it goes https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5396309?tstart=0 wrong … and how to put it right. … and throughout I've dropped in a few lessons for anyone implementing critical system software -- maybe the odd Apple engineer is reading how to tell when things are wrong Occasionally Time Machine seems to be stuck, but isn't really. When you first do a backup, or when you haven't backed up http://alandix.com/blog/2010/07/09/time-machine-when-it-goes-wrong-and-how-to-fix-it/ to a particular disk for ages (perhaps if you have been away on a trip), it can spend several hours ‘preparing'. You can tell it is ‘preparing' because when you open the Time Machine preferences there is the little barbers pole saying ‘preparing' 😉 This is when it is running over the disk working out what it needs to backup, and always seems to be the lengthiest operation, actually backing up the disk is often quite fast, and yet, for some reason there is no indication of how far through the ‘preparing' process it has got. Lesson 1: make sure you include progress indicators for anything that can take a while, not just the obvious ‘slow' things. So, when you see ‘preparing', just be patient! However, at least half-a-dozen times over the last year, my Time Machine has got completely stuck. I have seen this happen in three ways: (i) it is still saying ‘preparing' after leaving it overnight! (ii) it starts to transfer to disk, but then gets stuck part way: (iii) if you look i

Apple has gone to great lengths to make Time Machine, the backup program included with time machine Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard, easy and fun to use. Those aren't terms which you typically hear applied to backup programs, and these efforts are to be commended.Time Machine is easy to setup, but restoring files is not as intuitive. Many of my clients ask me for help with how to do this, and how to ensure that their backups are running reliably. Time Machine allows for restoration of files, folders, applications or an apple time machine entire Mac, depending on your need.A review of the process couldn't hurt. Like chicken soup from Grandma…Setting Up Time Machine BackupsTime Machine requires a separate hard drive on which to store your data, you can't backup to the startup drive. Any USB or FireWire disk will work. Get one with at least twice the capacity of your startup drive (larger is better). You can also use a Time Capsule and some network drives, more on this below.The default way to setup a Time Machine backup is dead simple. Connect the backup drive to your Mac. If you haven't yet setup Time Machine, when you plug in the disk a dialog will pop up asking if you wish to use the drive as a backup disk. Click Use as Backup Disk and things will start automatically.Pretty basic, ehh?If this dialog doesn't pop up (or to change an existing backup configuration) open up System Preferences -> Time Machine. Click on the Select Backup Disk… button, select the drive you wish to use for backups, then click Use for Backup…You can also save backups to an Apple Time Capsule, a hard drive shared by a system running Mac OS X Server (Leopard or Snow Leopard) or (in some cases) a USB hard drive attached to an Apple Airport Extreme router (requires firmware 7.3.1 or higher - this works but is not officially
files, apps, and the operating system itself. Not only does Time Machine make it incredibly easy to maintain frequent automatic backups of a Mac, it also makes it equally simple to restore from a backup in the event something goes wrong, whether you need to restore files, or even if you need to restore the entire Mac OS X installation. Because backing up is an essential part of general Mac system maintenance, you should always have a backup solution active. Since many users don't, we'll walk through how to setup Time Machine so that it will make regular backups of a Mac. Time Machine Backup Requirements Any Mac with any vaguely modern version of OS X (El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, Snow Leopard etc) A large External Hard Drive (this one is 5TB) which will be dedicated to Time Machine and connected to the Mac Format the drive to be Mac compatible with Disk Utility, give it an obvious name like ‘Time Machine backups' A few minutes for initial Time Machine setup Ample time for Time Machine to run it's first backup of the entire Mac You'll want to be sure the external hard drive in use for Time Machine backups is at least the same size as the internal hard drive on the Mac, but preferably much larger. For example, if you have a 512GB internal drive, a 5TB external drive for Time Machine would allow for many complete backups of that Mac drive from different time points, which is when Time Machine backups work best (this allows you to roll back the entire Mac to different points in time, hence the name of the software feature). Note you can also partition a single drive for dual use as Time Machine and file storage, though in this article we're going to assume you're using a single hard drive entirely for Time Machine backups. Once you have met the requisites for using Time Machine, setup is a breeze: How to Set Up Time Machine Automatic Mac Backups in OS X Connect the external hard drive that you'll be using as a Time Machine volume to the Mac if you have not done so already Go to the Apple menu and go to "System Preferences", then choose "Time Machine" Click on the "Select Backup Disk…" button Choose the connected external hard drive that you plan on assigning to Time Machine, then click on "Use Disk" (Optional: check "Encrypt Backups" for FileVault users and greater security) The "Time Machine" toggle should n
