TimeTrouble Mac OS
Few features in Leopard have gotten as much coverage as Time Machine, OS X’s new automated back-up feature. As you’re probably aware by now, you can start a Time Machine backup in OS X 10.5 by control-clicking on the Time Machine drive’s icon in the sidebar and selecting Back Up Now. For those people who use Time Machine in manual mode, this is a very important command—it’s the only way to run their backups.
However, this also requires that you be at the computer to execute the command. But what if you’re away, and realize you forgot to run a backup before you left? If you’re on another Mac, you can use Screen Sharing (or VNC from a non-Mac) to login to the GUI. But you might not want to run the full GUI for something as trivial as clicking one button in a menu. So here’s a Terminal solution you can use in an ssh session.
During the video, I demonstrate how to create a time lapse movie using Gawker (the free and easy solution). I also demonstrate how to do the same thing using Evocam ($30) and QuickTime. See the Supporting Multiple SDKs docs for more information on the MACOSXVERSIONMAXALLOWED macro. Keep these three things in mind: Copy only what you need. Wrap your declaration in MACOSXVERSIONMAXALLOWED checks so that, if an SDK is used that already contains these declarations, your declaration does not conflict with the declaration in the.
After connecting to the Mac via ssh from whatever machine you’re using, just enter this command in Terminal:
Press Return, and your Time Machine backup will start—the ampersand at the end runs the job as a background process, so that you’ll have the Terminal prompt back before the backup job completes. This hint may not be useful to everyone, but I always like to know if there’s a non-GUI method of doing something—just in case I find myself somewhere where I only have command-line access to my home machine.
If you made a Time Machine backup of your Mac, Migration Assistant can use that backup to restore your personal files, including apps and everything in your user account.

If you prefer to restore just a few files or earlier versions of those files, learn how to use Time Machine to restore specific files.
Use Migration Assistant
- If you need to reinstall macOS, do that before continuing. For example, if your Mac starts up to a flashing question mark, you need to first reinstall macOS.
- Make sure that your Time Machine backup disk is connected to your Mac and turned on.
- Open Migration Assistant on your Mac. It's in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
If your Mac starts up to a setup assistant, which asks for details like your country and network, continue to the next step, because the setup assistant includes a migration assistant. - When asked how you want to transfer your information, select the option to transfer from a Mac, Time Machine backup, or startup disk. Then click Continue.
- Select your Time Machine backup, then click Continue.
- Choose a backup and click Continue.
- Select the information to transfer.
In this example, John Appleseed is a macOS user account. If it has the same name as an account already on your Mac, you're prompted to either rename the old account or replace the one on your Mac. If you rename, the old account will appear as a separate user on your Mac, with a separate home folder and login. If you replace, the old account will delete and then replace the account on your Mac, including everything in its home folder. - Click Continue to start the transfer. Large transfers might need several hours to complete.
