Backup failed - eject archive?

Been trying to use backup (3.1.2) and get an error that says "The backup archive is in use and can't be ejected." I am not trying to eject anything and have not touched the computer when this has happened. Has anyone seen this problem? Happened in both Tiger and Leopard. I have plenty of space, so that is not the issue. Any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks

I get exactly the same error. Sometimes clicking "Try again" a few times solves the issue, but other times I have to cancel the entire backup and do it all again - very frustrating, especially if it has taken 2.5 hours to do a full backup.
I back up to an external drive and have found (perhaps by coincidence) that copying a random file to the external drive to stimulate some disk activity seems to then all backup to close the package, however this does not always work.
So, any tips from anyone?

  • Time machine backup fails; error creating folder. Western Digital drive requires password which is perhaps/likely the issue. I can't eliminate the password/encryption.

    Time Machine backup fails on new WD external drive (My Passport Studio); error creating folder (after several hours of Time Machine apparently working).
    Background: I purchased a Western Digital drive from an Apple Store to use for Time Machine backup.  I followed the Western Digital instructions that came with the drive for Mac. I didn't get the Time Machine prompt which the instructions indicated I would receive--namely to select whether I want to encrypt my Time Macine backups. (I already have a Time Machine backup I use at another location, which is perhaps why I didn't receive a prompt.)
    I decided to install the Western Digital utilities and security software that comes on the disk--with a view to potentially encrypting the disk (since I still wanted to have an encrypted backup since I was mobile). I forgot that (from experience 2-years previous) that I shouldn't install Western Digital software because it just makes life really complicated.
    I tried several times to do a Time Machine backup with failures each time (error creating the backup folder). I tried to get help from WD but I don't think the technicians were following what my issue was. Potentially I was not helpful in explaining it. I deleted the WD applications from my system after the first contact with WD. However the problem persisted--I still had an encrypted hard drive. After three phone sessions with three different WD techs I still could not get a solution. (By the second call I was not at all interested in having an encrypted drive--I just wanted to format and restore the drive to an unencrypted state so that I could have SOME kind of Time Machine backup.)
    I still don't have a solution--either to get Time Machine working with the WD encryption/password on the drive, or to remove the encryption so I can backup. Right now my options are to return the drive to the Apple Store -- or get a return authorization from WD. Seems crazy since the drive is fine and I have the working password.

    Never install "helpful software" provided by WD and Seagate (or any HD mfg.)
    All such stuff is fluff and nonsense that interferes with normal HD operation.
    Always when you buy a new HD, format it for Mac and then use it to TM backup or clone a HD, or archive data.
    Less is more on HD new out of box.  A "blank brick", no fluff and cotton candy software

  • Backup Fails with Invalid RECID Error

    Hi All,
    Please help me to understand Caution -section

    Backup Fails with Invalid RECID Error: Solution 2
    This solution is more difficult than solution 1:
    To create the control file with SQL*Plus:
       1. Connect to the target database with SQL*Plus. For example, enter:
          % sqlplus 'SYS/oracle@trgt AS SYSDBA'
       2. Mount the database if it is not already mounted:
          SQL> ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
       3. Back up the control file to a trace file:
          SQL> ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE;
       4. Edit the trace file as necessary. The relevant section of the trace file looks something like the following:
          # The following commands will create a new control file and use it
          # to open the database.
          # Data used by the recovery manager will be lost. Additional logs may
          # be required for media recovery of offline data files. Use this

    then the database will be corrupted but Oracle and RMAN cannot detect the problem.

If you don't open database with RESETLOGS option then there may be archived logs with log sequence number which is already archived on the source host. This may happen due to difference in RECIDs. Now when the database needs media recovery for this particular log sequence, you may provide any of them. So in this case, RMAN and Oracle will not be able to differentiate the two files and can accept any of the archived log files during recovery. Since the contents of two archived logs are different, because they are generated at different times and they contains different transactions. So, internally it corrupts your database.

    Thanks,

    The message indicates that your database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode. You cannot make an RMAN Backup of a database that is OPEN if it is in NOARCHIVELOG mode.
    You have two options
    1. Make consistent RMAN Backups with the database only in MOUNT mode (SHUTDOWN ; STARTUP MOUNT)
    OR
    2. Configure for ArchiveLogs (create a target filesystem or FRA), set the database to ARCHIVELOG mode, monitor the volume of ArchiveLog generation, configure both Database and ArchiveLog backups.

    I have already doubled the size of the flash_recovery_area and its the same error I am encountering. The above-posted output log is actually the latest one after increasing the size of the flash_recovery_area.
    Any response will be highly appreciated.
    Many Thanks,
    Jiggs

    Thanks again Kuljeet!
    Here are the output:
    SQL> show parameter db_recovery_file_dest
    NAME TYPE VALUE
    db_recovery_file_dest string /backup/flash_recovery_area
    db_recovery_file_dest_size big integer 858934592

    It's now obvious that I still need to increase the size of the flash_recovery_area. What is the easiest way of increasing the size aside from using the EM. Am just new in Oracle RDBMS so am still not familiar with all the stuff in this arena.
    Also, do you need to delete the archivelog manually after the backup? What we are doing here is backing up the database using EM and check the 'delete archivelog....' portion during the wizard.

    Thanks Ashish
    When you perform offlibe databse backup, it will only take backup of datafiles, in offline mode. So it never backups redos..Redos r never deleted by running databse backup. You need to run archive log backup for this.
    Also, if you have offline backup and redos of older date, you can safely clean them. Please check with your seniors..
    I checked oraarch directory and the last time redo logs were generated was in march.
    I have one more question..I was running archive log backup with offline backup but still archive failed

    Hi David,
    The problem can occur due to the following reasons:
    Not enough space inside the virtual machine's VHD.
    The Integration services installed is not installed.
    The OS is unable to auto-mount the snapshotted VHDs during the backup process.
    Also have a look at the following link and see if the symptom matches your problem:

    Although this is not a serious problem, it does cause your database to stop briefly. It indicates that you do not have enough redo log groups.
    Essentially, Oracle writes redo information to log group 1 until it is full, then switches to log group 2. While lgwr is writing to group 2, arc writes group 1 to the archive log destination. If arc is not finished archiving group 1 before group 2 fills, then it has nowhere to switch to (i.e. group 1 is not available for lgwr to write to yet). In normal operation, when Oracle is managing log switches, you would see an error about unable to switch logs from lgwr. However, by issuing the archivelog current, arc does all the work. Since it is unable to do the log switch required to archive the current log, it generates the failed to archive message, and waits for group 2 to finish archiving.
    If this is only a problem when doing the backup, you can probably ignore it. However, if you see log switch errors in normal operation, you should add another logfile group, so there will be more time between switches into any sngle group.

  • Time Capsule Backup Fails on one Mac, fine on second Mac

    Old MBP backs up fine to TC.
    Newish MBA was working, now fails. All other network functions OK. Setup includes second APE (for AirTunes only), doesn't seem relevant/troublesome. Active users are administrators and are variously sharing in/out to other machines, screensharing enabled, B2MM enabled. Both machines running OSX10.5.5 & updated frequently, connected to same WLAN / same TC. Interrupts have occured (shutdowns, crashes, sleeps, and WLAN-switch to 2nd Windows WLAN to exploit W-printer). None of foregoing bothers MBP.
    Attempted backup of MBA: TC menu icon displays what looks like letter "A" inside the rotating clock logo. Re-setup of TC via network settings doesn't resolve matters.
    Clicking "backup now" results in long delay displaying "preparing" then failure message: Disk Repair / The disk "Backup of MBA was not repairable by this computer + a warning to backup asap & an instruction to re-format TC. Yet - no problem with MBP backup. MBA times out if I attempt to "enter time machine".
    Examining Console Logs, I see immediately following MBA bak failure:

    I am having a similar problem. I have my 'old' MacBook backed up on my time machine, since long, and it still backs up on a regular basis.
    Every back I try for my 'new' MacBook fails.
    I wonder if I need to change something in the set up of the time machine, to have two computers backed up on it?
    Anyone can offer me some help?

  • Time Capsule backup failed error -43?

    Hi and Thanks to Anyone in Advance!
    Below is the Time Capsule Error Log I get when doing a Time Machine Backup, wirelessly, on my 2T Time Capsule HD/Router.
    Initial Setup and Backup done via ethernet, flawlessly, two months ago. Subsequent backups worked until about three days ago (Why, I have not a clue!)
    Often, using Airport Utility, the Time Capsule does not appear. Turning off Computer Airport and on again, the disk becomes magically available for backup. Similar problem with wireless LAN printer...truly a pain. the printer needs to be deleted, and then added again in Print/Fax Preferences. (HP PhotoSmart C7250)
    I used Disk Utility" on my Computer HD with a repair permissions, then performed a TC reset, physically, and reconfigured the TC on the LAN, trying a new name "gotyourback" for the backup. Backup begins every time, but keeps failing after about five minutes.
    Hope this helps others with similar problem...
    Again,
    Thanks!

    You are running SL still?? Or lion?
    I thought of simply restoring the computer's settings to what they were 4-5 days ago, via Time Machine.
    The issue is network.. so restoring will not fix it.
    But so is my overdue dentist appointment...really not looking forward to either!
    My condolances to your dentist.
    I think you need to dig a bit harder to get the cause.
    Most importantly are you getting IP via dhcp from the TC?
    Do you have ethernet and wireless connected at the same time?

  • Time Machine size discrepancy / backup fail

    Hi! For a few weeks now my Time Machine backups have ceased to work, with an error that they are too big for the drive. While I only have a 500GB drive, my total size of the backup has always been well within that (thanks to the exclusions I have set up, mostly for my video projects).
    I've finally had a chance to look through my files and determine that the only truly gargantuan folder was indeed my Videos folder, but it is excluded.
    Here's the nub of my problem / question:
    My Time Machine panel under Options says the estimated size of the full backup is 274 GB. But backups fail with a message that the backup requires 849GB! That's way more than the 20% overhead I know TM requires in addition to the backup size.
    This seems to be the key to why my backups are failing.
    Can anyone suggest a course of action?
    Thanks!
    Adam

    ARGH! Would you believe that - only days after I fixed it with the combo update - it happened again?
    Well, it did. "The backup requires 847.90 GB but only 93.79 GB are available."
    847 GB? The "Estimated size of full backup" in the exceptions window is 276.88 GB.
    Just like before.
    I did run a Repair Permissions after the combo update as suggested... just to rule that out...
    Just in case it's at all helpful, I'm including the info from the Dashboard widget that reveals Time Machine log info - first for the last successful backup, then for the first one to fail.
