Error Message - "Unable to complete back-up"

After nearly a year of working perfectly Time Machine suddenly comes up with the following error message - "Time Machine Error - Unable to complete the backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume".
I've run disk utilities to examine the external backup disk and all is well but Time Machine still does not work. I've changed the backup disk and still gotten the same error.
Does anyone have any ideas what is happening here?
thanks

Just one other thing to check which might help, look in Console under the backupd process which may give you information about where TM failed.
You are aware, I guess, that that error message comes up occasionally and can be fixed by simply immediately ordering a backup manually, which generally completes successfully. I take it that in your case you tried that and no luck.
TMBuddy Widget actually extracts that info directly into the widget, making it simpler to get to.
I know about that occasional backup failure and was one of the first to notice and report it. It came from 10.5.3 AIR and I filed one of the first bug reports on it. Yes, a manual backup works or just wait until the next scheduled backup.
My point is that I have not gotten any of those in quite a while. You can check some of my old posts here about it.
Here's one of my old threads about this:

  • HT3275 I continue to get the following error message: Unable to complete back up.an error occurred while creating backup folder. It's a brand new drive. When I attempt to repair it using disk utility I get:unable to repair disk cannot unmounted

    I have been trying to use time machine on a new lacie 2tb usb 2 drive for back up. I continue to get: "unable to complete backup.An error occured while creating backup folder". When I use disk utility to repair I get another error message: unable to repair disk unmountable.
    Help me Obie One Canobie you are my last hope

    I have confused myself with the facts!  Started out keeping track of every step and every variable but have sort of lost it as we progress here.  First I quit all applications then swapped connections between mouse port and backup disk port to influence possible bad connections question.  Changed power outlet receptacle for the backup disk. Disabled the put-the-HD-to-sleep option.  Then powered down the computerator.
    Next started up computerator.  Turned Time Machine ON  and experienced multiple successful backups!  Then I started up a few applications, Mail and Text Edit (but not Safari so far).  Had a few more successes.  After each backup, I used Disk Utility to verify the backup disk is still OK.  This because the error about unable to unmount the backup disk seems to go hand in hand with Disk Utility finding the backup disk to be bad.
    Put computer to sleep for the night.  Upon starting up in the morning, and before doing anything else, I did a backup disk verification... BAD!   Did a restart and verified the backup disk... OK.
    Did a few    Sleep-bad, Restart -OK    repetitions.
    It seems consistent:  Sleeping the computer apparently messes up the backup disk but doing a Restart "repairs" it.
    =============================
    Now then, I don't understand everything I know here.  Methinks that maybe keeping the HD from sleeping during lulls in activity has allowed successful backups through the day but manually putting everything to sleep for the night causes a return to the problem of spinning-back-up-too-slowly (which was explained earlier).  Is there any truth in this?
    I may abandon this Seagate thing for something more compatible.  What's out there that we know works reliably for us?

    Adobe web chat come up with a solution.
    Open the PP project.
    Export your sequence or project as a Final Cut Pro XML file.
    Set up a new PP project.
    Import the Final Cut Pro XML file.
    This will get you back up an running.
    Since getting back to editing this project I have found that some things will be lost or change in using XML:
    You will lose position key framing, black video clips, dissolve fx, audio levels, audio dynamic fx, the ability to open a multi camera clip and change the camera view.
    You will keep cut points, crop fx.
    Not perfect but only took a couple of hours to save 3 days work.

  • Time Machine error message "Unable to complete backup....."

    I just purchased Time Capsule and attempted to do my initial backup. I had to stop during the middle of the process. When I returned to resume the backup I get the following error message: "Unable to create backup. An error occurred creating the backup directory." Has anyone else gotten this error message? If so, any suggestions on how to fix this. I tried doing everything that Setup Guide suggested with no success.
    After reading some of the posts here, I've made sure that my Time Capsule name is short and without special characters but nothing has worked. Any help would be appreciated.

    My initial backup (350GB on WiFi N 5Ghz wide-channel) seemed like it would take 3 days (which is fine), but after 1 day, I too got that error. I started the backup again and it went for an hour, then the same error. Started again, went for 5 minutes, same error. Now I can't even start it again--I've tried many times and the error is now instantaneous.
    The first time the error happened, the backup seemed to pick up where it left off. After that, though, all progress each time was lost.
    The network itself has never gone down, and the light has stayed green. And the 2Wire DSL router it's attached to seems to be fine as well.
    I'm wiping the drive (with the zero option in the hopes of catching and physical defects early) and will try again tomorrow.
    All software and firmware is up-to-date: I made sure before turning on the Time Capsule.
    Ethernet is not really an option--I'd have to run a long cord though a high-traffic area, and accidents would happen.

  • Qosmio G30-153 HD DVD error message - Unable to play back

    After 6 months of great HD DVDV viewing (well four actual playing times) I now am unable to play any HD DVD's but instead get a message saying "Unable to play back. Please restart the computer. event code: 6".
    Have deleted Toshiba HD DVD programme and reloaded from 'Drivers and Tools' back-up CD but to no avail.
    Audio CD's and std DVD's work ok, just not HD DVD's. Sometimes I get a black screen, the little control panel shows something iis playing .e. the indicater moves left to right, but no audio is heard.
    Is the disc player components of these laptops prone to failure?
    Any advice gratefully accepted.

    Same thing happened to my machine. Although "chronicles of Riddick" plays fine. I bought "Bourne" collection and get that error message on all 3 discs so I think it has to do with security coding on the DVD itself. I bought this machine for to be able to play these things.
    Hope someone out there can help.

  • V Cast Apps Error Message "Unable to complete request" after updating software

    Purchased the Samsung Droid Charge last week. I really like the phone, but I'm running into an error message. 
    When I click on the V Cast Apps icon, I'm directed to install an update, otherwise I can't use the software. So I click to update, the download occurs just fine, the install happens fine, and I accept the terms and conditions. As the software begins to open, I receive the following message:  
    Error: Unable to complete request
    There are three boxes to choose from, Retry, Catalog home, and Exit. Retry and Catalog do not respond at all, so I can only exit. I've tried installing, uninstalling, reinstalling, clearing cache etc. I also made sure I have the most recent Android software which I believe I do, 
    Hardware Version: i510.06
    Firmware Version: 2.2.1
    Build number: SCHI510.EE4
    I've read the previous posts, but I'm not finding much in terms of answers. I recall seeing something about an updated APK but I don't know really what that is about. I would appreciate any assistance or tips you can offer. 
    Thanks in advance,
    Scott

    As I previously stated, yes, I did uninstall & reinstall. Actually a few times.

  • Time Machine Error. Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copy

    I purchased my iMac 24" in February.
    After I had set up the machine I configured an IceCube Firewire 300 GB (Seagate) Hard Drive as a backup volume and flicked the switch in Time Machine. All went as expected. I even restored my whole hard drive from the Time Machine volume about a month ago after I repartitioned the boot volume to set up Boot Camp. No problems.
    About a week ago I purchased a 500GB WD HDD and set it up inside the IceCube enclosure (I remembered to make it the "Master" disk too!!). I partitioned it with Disk Utility with a GUID Mac OS X (Journaled) partition for my Leopard boot partition, and as MS-DOS FAT32 for my Boot Camp external partition. I used Carbon Copy Cloner to copy all the Windows files across from Boot Camp to the new FAT32 partition and set up Time Machine to make a backup of the Leopard boot partition.
    After several hours Time Machine stopped with the error message above. ("Time Machine Error. Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup").
    I have spent days formatting the new WD drive, repairing permissions on the boot drive, excluding large files and cache files from the backup in Time Machine to no avail. Every time I get the same message. I even set up another 200GB firewire drive to see if it was anything to do with the enclosure of WD HDD. Same result!!
    I have searched these forums for any ideas, and have done wide searches with Google but nothing has worked.
    I can not understand why my Mac worked perfectly with Time Machine before I installed the new Western Digital Hard Drive.
    What have I missed?

    I keep getting the Time Machine backup error too, like many others. Was fine until just the other day, now, nothing. Although my husband's backs up just fine. I assume it's the 10.5.3 bug everyone else has. I've tried reselecting the drive, running the disk utility, shutting everything on and off... help!
    Here's the console log- anyone know what this means?

  • HT3275 Time Machine error. Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume. Tried restarting, remounting external WD drive. Still cannot backup.

    Time Machine quit backing up files. Bought a new WD external drive. Worked for awhile, then quit backing up. Tried restarting computer, remounting drive. Message: Time Machine Error. Unable to complete backup. An error occurred when copying files. Suggestions?

    Thanks so very much for your help!! I'm boggled by it and now just about ready to dump the whole idea of Time Machine and backup using a cloning program. Maybe TM is only guaranteed to work well with Time Capsule these days?
