    Thanks!

    You need to be careful Bob.. people might take this literally.

  • 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?
    Today there again was no backup. I did as you suggested, looked into Console. It showed many lines of "(Error) DiskStore: No block in wakeup" and also repeatedly "(Warning) DiskStore: Ignored bogus fetch...".
    So I created a marker and attempted to initiate a backup, keeping Console open and refreshed. Here's what I got:

    I'm thinking it's the standalone Buffalo backup drive not waking up, and so everything comes to a screeching halt. Do you also think I should abandon TM and just do manual backups every day using a clone program?

  • HT3275 TIME MACHINE ERROR: The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/Sean McGuire's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" could not be created (error 1).

    I can select a disk (Time Capsule) and initiate the backup.  It only "waits to back up" then "making backup disk available" and remains frozen there.  I tried to update the software a while back and was unsuccessful, I think that may be the issue.
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  This is the error message I receive.

  • HT3275 Time machine error, backup disk image "/volumes/data-1/.sparesbundle " already in use. I don;t know what this means, can someone help?

    My Mac mini time capsule is showing an error Time machine error, backup disk image "/volumes/data-1/.sparesbundle " already in use. I don;t know what this means, can someone help?

    I had a similar problem and I solved it as follows -
    In Time Machine - > I deselected time capsule Data Disk as a destination.
    Then I pulled the power plug on the Time Capsule, twiddled my thumbs for 15 secs, plugged the power back in.
    Went back t Time Machine -> Re-Added the Time Capsule Data Disk as destination. And then tested by selecting Backup Now.
    All went well and the backup picked up from before the problem.
    BTW - I also have a USB drive connected to Time Capsule that is an alternate disk for Time Machine to backup.
    In Mountain Lion the GUI lets you add more than one Time Machine backup destinations very easily so I think it a good idea to have redundancy.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT3275 time machine error says: The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/Apple 's iMac G5.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1).

  • HT3275 Time Machine error (109). Could not access backup disk image

    I keep getting a Time Machine error message that says it can not access the backup disk image "……sparsebundle". I have had issue after issue with Time Machine. I have completely started over twice with setting up Time Capsule. Please help!

  • HT3275 Time Machine Error (Time Capsule) - Not backing up "problem may be temporary"

    Hi,
    I am running Time Machine backing up to a Time Capsule (2TB version).
    Since yesterday the backups have not performed as scheduled, with a vague error saying files were not copied and this may be temporary.
    The Time Capsule software is up to date, I've unplugged it and plugged it back in, and have restarted the mac (twice!).
    Still getting the error - it suggests I repair the backup disk in Disk Utility but it is not displayed in Disk Utility so not sure how to do that.
    How temporary is temporary and what can I do to repair the disk if it isn't showing in Disk Utility?
    Cheers.

    Welcome to Lion.. did you just update again to 7.4.. no doubt some new bugs will now flow into the network.
    You need to firstly download and use utility 5.6 as the version in lion is useless.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    If the TC will not be recognised you need to plug into it by ethernet.. I guess you are using wireless.. even worse on Lion.. and press the reset and redo the setup. Lion has no idea what went before, only what comes after.
    To verify the disk you need to mount the sparsebundle.. but to do that you need to see it which means direct connection and reset.
    See http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    A5 how to verify.. but frankly I doubt it has anything to do with it.

  • HT3275 Time Machine Error

    I get the "Red "i" message: "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume."" but restarting it does not help at all.

    Not one of Apple's better messags. 
    Most likely, there's a problem with a file on your system that's causing Time Machine to choke.  See #C3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.   It will show you how to locate the message(s) that describe the problem, then help you fix it.    If that doesn't help, post back with details, including all the messages, your setup (especially the destination for the backups), what you've done, and the results.

  • HT3275 time machine error: sparsebundle is already in use...now what?

    Apparently, something happened on Jan 1 that stopped my time machine backups from happening. I get an error that sparsebundle is already in use and that's why it won't work. No idea what this means since I only use Time Capsule for these backups. I don't see any options that would help here in the Preferences section. Any suggestions?

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    I've never seen that message. Assuming it's a translation, it sounds a bit like #C9, C10, or C11 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
    Or could it be: +Failed to mount disk image /Volumes/TMbackups/<name>.sparsebundle+ ? If so, if it's already mounted, try dismounting it; if not, see if you can mount it manually.
    If not, try http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3275 or: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2048 (both available in several languages).

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

    Hi,
    I've looked all around the forums for the answer to this one and I'm still unable to get it. So I'm getting this error "Time Machine Error Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while linking files on the backup volume". This started happening after I turned off and on FileVault. I was having a problem with it and turning it on an off got rid of that problem, but created this one. I've noticed that when I shut down the computer and filevault accesses the TM hard drive, it can back up.....but then when I'm logged on, or I want it to back up I get the error. I've tried fixing the drive, removing the in progress file and resetting the PRAM (i think that's what it was called). I'm starting to run out of options and have no other drive to back all this info on to reformat it.
    I really don't want to loose all my stuff.
    Please help!

    Usually this message happens when you replace an external disk that was being backed-up by Time Machine with another one of the same name.
    Since File Vault works by making a sparse image of your home folder, and it's treated as a volume just as a HD is, that's probably what's happening here: the new sparse image has the same name as the old one, but isn't the old one.
    First, consider whether you really need File Vault. It doesn't work well with Time Machine: you can't see or restore individual items in your home folder, and it only gets backed-up when you log out.
    If you have a lot of other things, say photos, videos, and/or music that don't need to be encrypted, perhaps there's an easier way to secure our sensitive data. You can create an encrypted disk image via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder), then copy the sensitive documents into it. Then the rest of your home folder is backed-up normally, and individual items can be viewed and restored in the usual fashion.
    But if you do continue using FileVault, you may have to use TM to delete all backups of it, via the instructions in item #12 of the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum. That should then allow the new version of your encrypted home folder to be backed-up by TM.

  • Time Machine Error "Unable to complete backup"

    I have not backed up my hard drive for about 30 days. When I plug my external hard drive in, Time Machine "prepares backup" for a while, then gives me the following message:
    *Time Machine Error*
    Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume.
    I tried unplugging and re-plugging, rebooting my computer, trashing the ".inprogress" backup file and restarting. It did not help. While it time machine is preparing the backup, my computer runs crazy slow, with the rainbow pinwheel spinning for about 5-10 seconds just about every time I click the mouse, in any program.
    Per someone's suggestion, I put "sudo grep backupd /var/log/system.log" into terminal, and this is what came up:
    "No pre-backup thinning needed: 4.98 GB requested (including padding), 70.16 GB available
    Waiting for index to be ready (906 > 0)

    Aborting backup because indexing a file failed.
    Stopping backup."
    This time, it was apparently iChat, but in each of the three times I've tried to backup and gotten this error message, a different file has been the culprit for the indexing error.
    Any suggestions?
