![]() ![]() In many instances DiskWarrior 5 can automatically repair the partition map of a drive. If only one line appears (no indented volume info), then the drive's partition map is damaged. In this instance a data recovery company is likely your only option. If Disk Utility does not see the drive then there likely is a hardware failure. This may also give you the format of the drive.ĭiskWarrior 5.x does not repair an APFS formatted drive.įor all publicly available information regarding DiskWarrior 5 and macOS 10.13 (High Sierra), 10.14 (Mojave), 10.15 (Catalina) as well as the new Apple File System (APFS), please visit DiskWarrior and High Sierra/Mojave/Catalina In the window that opens there will be a line "File System". If the format is blank, click on the Info button at the top of Disk Utility. However, if the drive reads as PC Exchange, ExFAT, FAT16 or FAT32, NTFS (and more) then the disk is PC formatted and you will need to recover your data using a Windows-based utility while the drive is connected under a Windows operating system. If the drive meets the formatting requirements listed above, DiskWarrior will work to rebuild the directory of the drive. At the bottom of the screen you should see the line "Format". Instead you may see "untitled" or "disk1s2" (your specific numbers will vary). ![]() This may not be the recognizable name of your drive. The second line should be indented and have a volume name. The first line should state the manufacturer of the drive (LaCie/G-Drive/etc) and the size in gigabytes (GB) or terabytes (TB). Your drive should appear with two lines of data: To double-check that the directory of the hard drive is readable by DiskWarrior in its current state, please open the Apple Disk Utility (located in any computer's Utilities folder or on the Apple Install CD/DVD under the Utilities menu or via the Recovery HD in Mac OS X 10.7.x Lion and later). Did you reformat this drive when you first used it or did you use the drive as is? Macs can read from and write to a variety of disk formats and many external disks come PC formatted from the factory. I'm trying to figure out if I should go the TimeMachineScheduler route and just have it back up once a day, or if there's something fixable that's wrong.ĭoes anyone have a similar experience? My searches so far reveal a lot of "when that happens I just erase the time machine volume and start over" but I'd really prefer not to do that if possible since it kinda defeats the purpose of having it.DiskWarrior 5 will attempt to rebuild the directory of a hard drive as long as it is formatted using the format of Mac OS Standard, Mac OS Extended, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or Mac OS Extended (case-sensitive). It does strike me as odd that 388300 files had to be backed up in a single hour while the machine was not in use I'm wondering if maybe that's an rsync-style "here's all the files I considered whether they had to be updated or not." Neither the firewire drive nor the internal drive are particularly slow. The system was idle and had nothing else to do at the time. A lot, but not all of it, seems to be "thinning." ![]() Here's a 42-minute example from the logs:ĥ/4/10 9:41:59 AM Starting standard backupĥ/4/10 9:41:59 AM ěacking up to: /Volumes/McBackup/Backups.backupdbĥ/4/10 9:45:35 AM No pre-backup thinning needed: 5.45 GB requested (including padding), 1.34 TB availableĥ/4/10 10:07:42 AM Ĝopied 388300 files (9.8 MB) from volume Macintosh HD.ĥ/4/10 10:07:45 AM No pre-backup thinning needed: 5.44 GB requested (including padding), 1.34 TB availableĥ/4/10 10:07:58 AM Ĝopied 367 files (3.0 MB) from volume Macintosh HD.ĥ/4/10 10:08:06 AM Starting post-backup thinningĥ/4/10 10:23:38 AM ĝeleted backup /Volumes/McBackup/Backups.backupdb/gnome/-090042: 1.34 TB now availableĥ/4/10 10:23:38 AM Post-back up thinning complete: 1 expired backups removedĥ/4/10 10:23:38 AM ěackup completed successfully.Ĥ2 minutes to backup 12.8MB seems excessive. I've noticed lately that I hear the external drive running pretty much all the time, so I started looking into it and according to the console, Time Machine typically spends 40-48 minutes doing the hourly backup. So I have Time Machine backing up a 1TB internal drive (only 120GB used) onto a 2TB external FW800 drive. ![]()
