Error Backup failed in Time Machine all of a sudden

I'm using 10.5.3 with Time Machine. I also have Super Duper saving to the same disk, a LaCie 1T. This setup has been working fine since December until last night. The last backup was fine and I had to shut off time machine overnight. I turned it on this morning and now every backup has failed. Last week my hard drive died and had to be replaced but Time Machine didn't balk at that. Any ideas?

Okay, I fixed permissions on the internal hard drive and ran the backup again. Same thing as before, it gets 2.25GB and then quits. Here's the log:

I'm running OS X 10.6.8-Why is Time Machine all of a sudden backing up 225GB of data after 2 years of perfect service? I have not added, deleted, or upgraded anything, Help!

I'm running OS X 10.6.8-Why is Time Machine all of a sudden backing up 250GB of data after 2 years of perfect service? I have not added, deleted, or upgraded anything.

USB 3.0 drives work on USB 2.0 but you do get 2.0 speed. They are cheaper because they are popular PC drives. If you get a new computer you'll get the bump to 3.0 speed.
I like the Seagate USB 3.0 Backup plus drives. They come formatted for PC but easy to format in Disk Utility. Seagate Backup Plus Right now the 1T is more than the 2 & 3T drives
This Western Digital drive has good reviews: WD My Book Hard Drive for Mac 2 TB $99.
Locally, Best Buy seems to have the best prices.
USB 3.0 is 10x faster than USB 2.0
Thunderbolt is 12 times faster than FireWire 800 and up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0.
Format new drives with Apple's Disk Utility rather than the software that come with the drive.
My plan was to rid a lot of the stuff I have on my computer (to a hard drive) anyhow once it had backed up.
I wound't necessarily backup those files to Time Machine. I would copy to the external drive then delete from computer. Only backup to Time Machine the data you would want to restore to your Mac if there was a problem. The backup will go much faster this way. Time Machine backup is slower than just copying data in my experience.

Since I installed Yosemite, Time Machine is not doing any backup. It just keep coming with the following message in a window: "Backup Failed. Time Machine could´t back up to "....... Time Capsule". What can I do start backing up again?

Time Machine not working since Yosemite was installed.

I had this issue too and went through all the great suggestion found on this site, but finally was able to resolve it after looking at the system.log to see the reason it was failing. By using terminal and entering:
sudo grep backupd /var/log/system.log
I saw "Backup failed with error:11". Then looking above, I saw many "Error: (-36) SrcErr:YES /Applications/" messages. After "Applications" I saw the culprit files that were causing Time Machine to fail. I deleted some Apps that I didn't need and found Time Machine would get farther than before. I then looked at the system.log again and saw it failing on the remaining Apps. I was able to use Time Machine to restore these App directories from a couple months ago before the Time Machine was failing. Now the problem is resolved. Whew! It seemed to be choking on corrupt files and these can be corrected by restoring earlier ones that were not corrupted.
Well, I thought I should share this with others that may have run into the same issue so they can save time. Hope it helps!

Backup fail on Time Machine and My Passport for Mac on Yosemite

Cannot seem to get Time Machine to do a full backup of my NEW My Passport for Mac.
I've:
- Updated firmware on WD external drive (and formatted correctly for Apple)
- Updated to latest IOS 10.10.3 (Yosemite)
- Verified and repaired Mac HD via iOS Disk Utility and the WD Drive Utility (no issues found on either)
Error message continues to be "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to My Passport for Mac. An error occurred while copying files. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk."
I'm backing up about 250 GB and have done this numerous times on my Passport for Mac. Everything SEEMS to be fine during backup, until after about 2-3 hours, into a 4-hour backup, the error message appears without any error codes.
Does anyone have any input? I don't think it is on the WD side. Anyone know if there an issue with Time Machine and this external drive? Help!
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Linc,
I hope this helps you.

Why did Time Machine all of a sudden do a full backup, earsing months of backups to make room on my 1T drive?

The question says it all. I had backups going back for about a year. Then today, seemingly for no reason, Time Machine deiced that it needed to do a full backup. Now the earliest backup is only March of this year. To answer any initial questions, no I've done nothing with or to the computer to warrant a new, 25+ Gig backup, let alone a 300 + gig one.
Thanks in advance

What is the benefit to using a cloning tool vs. a backup other than full control. is a backup a mirror image while a clone is an exact copy? should i be cloning my stuff or backup is ok if i needed a full restore for HD failure?
thanks!
Cloning is a mirror image of your boot drive/partition (minus bootcamp partition) which is hold option bootable.
It can be used as a backup as you can just update the clone so it mirrors changes on the boot drive.
Since a clone is bootable, it makes a good option when you need to boot off a dirve other than your boot drive, especially if it fails.
You can most certainly reverse clone while booted from the clone.
So lets say your hard drive fails and Apple replaces it, well if you have a clone you simply clone back onto the new drive.
You should still be making backups of important files regardless, to something else too.
With backups you have the time advantage, you can backup files and date them, then make another backup and date those.
Some people like myself and others rotate a clone every two weeks, just in case we have to go back for something .
With a little management backing up is not problem you just have to leverage what you need and we don't know that at all.

Backup Drive for Time Machine FILLS UP FAST!

*Be forewarned!*
I have a new iMac 2.8 GHz with an internal 750GB drive (about 500GB free). I bought a 500GB external drive (Western Digital Book My Book™), and after just 4 days of running with Time Machine turned on, I get this error message, "Time Machine backup failed. Time Machine needs 175GB to backup, and only 150GB available." Huh?
I just spoke to someone at the Apple Store's Genius bar, and they recommend a backup drive that is twice the size of your internal drive. (which means a 1.5 TB drive: not cheap...LaCie costs $539)
Also, come to find out some programs simply "don't play nice" with Time Machine. A good example is MS-Entourage, which has a single database file (in the Main Identity folder) which holds all the info for your email, address book and calendar. Mine is 350 MB in size, and it is being backed up IN FULL every hour because, well...I use my email. And every time any changes are made to that single file, it is considered modified, which means it is backed up every hour on the hour, which can quickly add up.
The same is true for the Windows XP or Vista VM files created by Parallels or VMware Fusion. Each are single, 2+ GB files, and each time any change is made to this 'huge' file, it gets backed up repeatedly by Leopard's Time Machine.
_So the larger the backup drive for Time Machine the better_! I'm considering giving up on Entourage (kiss Microsoft goodbye!) and switching to Apple's excellent mail, address book and calendar programs!

Tim,
I just switched from Entourage to Mail (for many reasons). Thus far, I love Mail. You may want to get the Widescreen plugin for it if you like the three-pane configuration of Entourage.
You should also be careful with Address Book if you have syncing set up in Entourage. In other words, probably should turn it off, along with any daemons you may have running. I lost data twice (once before my very eyes!) until figuring this out. Used Time Machine to restore a previous address book with all my contacts.
Thanks for the other information on this thread. Since I should be upgrading my old external drive anyway, it will help in purchasing a new machine for use with TM.

HT201250 i can't find my old backups on my time machine

hii guys..i lost my old backups on my time machine. all my new backups are working fine. i donno why. i have even spoken to apple customer care as well.
they said my old backups might have been deleted just to make space for new backup. but i did checked the box saying alert me when deleting old backups. can anyone help me how to get my old backups.

See Pondini's TM FAQs for starters.

Time Machine - all backups gone, backups fail

I've been backing up with time machine for 10 months via direct USB connection. I've recently been receiving a string of Time Machine error messages including "Error completing backup, an error occurred while creating backup folder" and "backup disk not available." When I clicked "enter time machine" all of my backups were GONE. Nothing there but "now".
I repaired disks, verified disks, unplugged and rebooted, all several times. After unmounting then repairing the external hard drive, TM was able to complete one backup but the problem came back within a day. All the old backups have disappeared completely.
Ideas?

That sounds like a problem with your external HD. All those messages indicate a problem writing to it.
When you say you've verified and repaired disks, does that include both your internal HD and your TM drive? If not, do both just to be sure. Then, before attempting another backup, try the Browse option, per #17 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum). If your backups are there, and not corrupted, that should show them.
Also check all connections to the external. Use different ports, cables, and combinations of the two (a plug that works fine in one port may make intermittent contact in another).
If the drive has it's own power supply, check those connections as well.
Restart your Mac, if you haven't during all this.
Check with the maker for firmware updates.
How old is the drive? Is it still covered by warranty?

Backup failing without any errors in sys prefrerences time machine

What happens: Time Machine scans, prepares, but does not actually back up. It does not report any errors through System Preferences > Time Machine.
I've used Disk Utility to verify both my local disk and my time machine disk (external USB drive).
I've done a full reset of Time Machine ("A4").

Hi Pondini!
Thanks for your help.
I added the entire Time Machine disk to the spotlight privacy exception, waited for a bit, and removed it. From this line, I assume that it triggered the re-indexing of the drive:
Nov 27 10:26:58 computerName mds[34]: (Normal) DiskStore: Creating index for /Volumes/Time Machine Backups
Yup.
I think one of the issues was that I had the power settings to shut down disks.
That shouldn't be a problem, as they should "spin up" when necessary. Some external HDs respond to that setting, some don't -- they have their own settings. But unchecking the option sometimes fixes the problem, so at least you know what it is.

It repeats the 1st and 2nd lines every ~ 6 minutes, then the PenaltyTimeForServer, then the cycle starts again.
Any ideas?
The UUID mismatch message sent by backupd in your first post is because TM hasn't completed a backup, and isn't sure what's changed on your system and needs to be saved. So it does a "deep traversal," comparing your system to the backups (that's the "scanning" in the messages). That has to be repeated every time, until a backup is completed. On subsequent backups, it can use a log of changes that OSX keeps, and will be much quicker.
It sounds like something is corrupted, somewhere. Exclude your TM drive from Spotlight again,but leave it excluded. Verify your internal HD and Repair the TM drive again. (Unfortunately, those will find directory errors and the like, but not necessarily problems within files.)
Then try another backup.
How old is your external HD? Are you just starting with TM or that disk, or have you been backing-up successfully for a while?
Are you running any kind of Sync application? A couple of the messages mention some sort of sync, but I don't know enough about Spotlight to know whether that's relevant.
Are you running Windows via Parallels, VmWare, or the like?

Time Machine spends hours partially backing up and then fails with "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup due to a network problem." Tried suggestions I've seen on the forum.

Time Machine spends hours partially backing up and then fails with "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup due to a network problem." I've tried various suggestions I've seen on the forum but nothing has worked. TIme Machine worked fine for the last two years and just suddenly started having this problem every time. The only thing that was a little different is that the computer was off for a week while on vacation and then I added a large amount (20 GB) of photos. Now the requested backup size is 82GB, which is large, and process proceeds very slowly for 2-3 hours before failing with the message mentioned. I have more than enough available backup storage space for it. Before failing, Time Machine has backed up no more than 12GB or so of the backup. It fails during different files each time.
I've turned off the computer sleep feature, and I've checked that the NAS is set to never automatically power down. I normally backup over Wi-Fi, but I've also tried connecting to Ethernet and it still has the same problem. It's odd because I also have a MacBook Pro that is still backing up fine to the same NAS using the MacBook's Time Machine.
I am using an iMac with OS X 10.6.8 and an Iomega StorCenter ix2-200 NAS.
I have system logs that I can share if helpful. The logged messages vary a bit from run to run, but here are some messages that I've been seeing:
I always get this message near the beginning of the backup:
Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Macintosh HD
I've gotten this messsage a number of times:
Bulk setting Spotlight attributes failed.

That looks like a problem was found with the file system (data) on the TM disk. I don't know the details, but OSX tried to recover it from the journal, and found extra data on the drive. Likely a result of the incompatibility mentioned above.

Something caused a disconnect. Can't tell from the log what it was.
I doubt it's a problem with something in OSX being damaged or corrupted, but reinstalling OSX isn't a major hassle, so might be worth a try.
To be incompatible with Snow Leopard, this NAS must be at least a couple of years old. It may be beginning to fail.
Contact the maker. See if there's an update to make it compatible with Snow Leopard. If so, that might fix it.
If not, or if that doesn't fix it, see if they have any diagnostics that will shed any light.

Excellent apple networking on Lion or ML is usually the issue.
Reboot the TC.. if that don't fix it.. reboot the whole network.. modem.. router.. TC.. clients.. restart in that order.
There are tools.. download the real tool if you have lion..
For ML you are stuck with toyland.. AU 6.1 .. good luck with the plastic hammer.

Time machine on external drive will not back up itunes media file on a separate external drive. Have already reformated itunes media drive,dragged itunes media backup file from time machine (old copy) and removed time machine plist and restarted.

Two external drives, one for time machine backups and a second (daisy chained firewire) for itunes media folder . Time machine fails to backup the media file saying could not be completed, with no error specified. Steps taken already include reformating drive with media, dragging older media backup file from time machine disc to media disc, and deleting time machine plist and starting time macine preferences upon startup. Media folder is approx 200 gb, mostly ripped dvd movies.
Any help for this??

Can't backup on my Time Machine installed on Time Capsule

I use to manage all my time machine backups on the Time Capsule.
From some days until now, I noticed that the Time Machine scheduled backups just abort in the middle of the process, after it scans the files to backup.
My Time Machine is working properly and therefore I can also access to my Time Capsule when I use it as as wireless hard drive.
When it is starting backup, Time Machine disk is mounted on my MAC.
Any ideas on what is going on?

Pondini, I'm using the internal HD.
Here is my log from the last backup:
