Yes, you can use the time interface, or you can just browse the drive. Time machine does not compress or otherwise change the files, you can copy them from the back up drive as you wish. On Jul 7, 2011, at 9:34 PM, David McLean wrote: > I've done this several times simply by copying the backed u

True. So it's a bit smarter about that then I described. Still the end result of backing up multi-GB files from virtual machines can really reduce the amount of history you can keep. My backup drive is 500GB so a full day of backups was hitting 80GB plus whatever else I touched. A month of dail

Two bits I wanted to clarify here to make sure you're not getting unexpected results. First is to be sure you've got a separate drive for your time machine backups. This should be obvious but if you're backing up to the same drive as the original data and that drive fails you lose your backup

You'd think it would be that easy, but every time I look at an older backup, the permissions are not right--sometimes I can't even read, much less write or execute. • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • ht

Yup, Thats the easiest way. Just go to the drive witht he time machine backup, find the proper date/time, then find the file and copy it. Then paste it on your Mac HD or where ever you happen to want it. Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com Twitter, Skype, & AIM: rwalker296 www.mobileaccess.or

Time machine is completely VO friendly, so you can do a restore; as for the steps, I'm sure they're on the net, at www.icanworkthisthing.com or www.maccessibility.com or similar. as for getting size and information on your mac, go to Desktop (VO Shift D) and select your partition--whatever i

Hello everyone. I have never restored files or folders from a Time Machine backup. Since I use VM Fusion I will probably need to restore my image at some point. Can this be done accessibly using Voice Over? If so, what are the procedures? Also, how can I quickly check my free space on the Mac Mini?
