Ok…let’s jump into it.
This video is in response to a couple of questions left on the video “How To Use Time Machine”
In summary:
Question 1, Tolga asks: How to exclude a user from a Time Machine backup.
And Question 2, LibraryDan asks: How to delete all copies of a file from a Mac and all Time Machine backups.
Therefore, in response to question 1:
If you want to exclude any Users, files, folders, even hard drives from a Time Machine backup, then you will need to add it to the exclusion list of Time Machine,
Lets add the User, macStudioA to the exclusion list.
Open Time Machine Preferences either from the menubar or from System Preferences and click the Time Machine icon.
Then click on the Options… button shown here.
Now click the plus symbol and locate the user to be excluded, then click the Exclude button.
Repeat for other files or folders if necessary.
if you want to remove any files from the exclusion list, simply highlight the file and click the minus symbol. Click the Save button when done.
Next, in response to question 2:
If you want to delete all copies of a file or folder from your Mac and all Time Machine backups. Then do the following:
First, locate all copies of the file or folder that you want to erase by searching for it in Finder, and simply delete it. Don’t forget to also empty the Trash.
Next, let’s delete all backup of the file in Time Machine, simply click on the Time Machine icon from menubar and select Enter Time Machine.
From here, search for the file. I’ll just paste and search for the filename shown.
It should be noted, all locations that a backup exist, will be shown at the top of the Finder window, as shown here.
Now, simply press ctrl-click on any of the backup files or with the file selected click the gear icon shown here and from the dropdown list, select “Delete All Backups of the filename selected.
You’ll be shown a warning, stating that you can’t undo this action and click the OK button.
Then enter your password to confirm all deletion of the backup file from Time Machine.
Then close Time Machine.
