I wanted to install a new larger internal HD, she wanted to go shopping for new external HD ( her logic is that she is getting a new Mac later this year so she rather just move her data via the external). NYT version: My wife finally filled up the HD on older G5. RD version: this worked for me! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I believe this could turn into a major problem for apple if they do not get the word out to people that have been using TM since day one that the partition scheme matters so much. Make sure you check your drive and it is set properly while you can still get a good backup from a working computer. If all works out when my computer is fix (hardware problem) I will see if my new drive with work to restore my data. I tried 3 times with Carbon Copy Cloner but it failed everytime. I moved my TM backups to a new drive (set up with GUID) using SuperDuper. Click on the man disk in question and in the lower left it will tell you the partition scheme. So my warning to everyone using and external HD for TM is to make sure that your drive has the GUID scheme.(for intel macs) You can find this using Disk Utility. I tried to restore from the backup (using Leopard DVD) it wiped my drive and then copied everything from my TM drive, restarted and then just hung, and wouldn't restart, just a gray screen. I just found out that my TM that has been backing up since July is worthless as a system backup because the partition scheme on the drive was MBR (master boot record) instead of GUID partition scheme.
Error timemachineeditor software#
Also, you can use the software so that your files are encrypted on the Amazon server, meaning that even if someone were to break into Amazon, your files would be safe.

Furthermore, once you pay for the Mac version, you get the Windows and Linux versions too, creating great opportunities for cross-machine synchronisation, whatever the platform. One of the best things about Jungle Disk is that it makes the interaction with Amazon's servers easy. Or you can use the software to create automatic incremental backups every night at a certain time. For example, you can use it to simply mount a drive in Finder/ Windows Explorer (similar to Dot Mac/Me). Transferring this data (a one off event) would cost 1 USD! You can use it in a number of ways. For example, 10Gb of storage would cost you 1.50 USD per month. You pay Amazon a very small fee (you'll be surprised how cheap) per GB stored and transmitted (see the calculator ) and then you are safe in the knowledge that in the result of a fire/flood/burglary that caused you to lose both your computer and your time machine backup, you would not lose any data. Have you heard of ? It's powered by Amazon's S3 hosting solution, and allows you to easily backup to the "cloud". I think the combination of services + software is the future of the Internet (eg iTunes, Skype, etc) and this is a great addition. On the topic of backups, I've a piece of software and a service to recommend.
