It means that there are bugs in Lion and Mountain Lion.

Count to 10

Time Machine fails with this error: "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Barbara’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use."
Can anyone assist me in correcting the problem causing this? Thanks.Reboot the TC.. Sometimes you need to reboot the whole network.
This is what comes of Lion and then made worse in Mountain Lion of Apple not spending enough time to fix the bugs.

Hi folks - I didn't see my issue answered here, so I thought I would just toss it out there in case anyone had advice.
My error message is: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Michael's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use.
Thoughts?Look on the right hand side .. more like this.. I am surprised you can have missed it.. we get about 10 requests a day now to fix it.. especially since Mountain Lion has made it 10x worse.

HT3275 he backup disk image"/Volumes/Data/Sue's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is already in use mean?
Can anyone tell me what "The backup disk image"/Volumes/Data/Sue's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle is in use mean when it comes to using my Time Machine. How do I solve this blip in the back-up process?
The TM backup has not properly dismounted the drive on the last backup or has lost connection in some way.
It is a common problem.. the most common in this discussion area.. look at the right hand "More Like This" column for multiple similar threads.
Solution is simple.. some sort of restart is needed of the TC.. you can do this via the airport utility or just pull the power, count to 10 and power it on again.
See C12 for more details.

The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data-1/(me) MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is already in use
Why would my computer start only printing "blurred images" of my documents.... And now I get this message about my Time Machine backups?
You have two different issues. One is a problem with your printer and one is a Time Machine problem. You'll need to contact your printer support to find out why your printer is not working.
You should be posting your Time Machine issue in the Time Machine section but straight from the linked articles to the right side of this page:
