Sparsebundle problem

I have a 1 TB drive attached to my Airport Extreme that I use for Time Machine backups. Today I had trouble mounting the drive. I tried plugging it directly into my Macbook Pro and not through the Airport Extreme and was able to see the drive. However, I can't access my older time machine backups. When I look at the contents of drive in Finder I see a single folder called "my name's macbook pro.sparsebundle." I went into System Preferences for Time Machine and made the drive the Time Machine drive. A short backup occurred and while this backup was going on I then saw a second folder called "Time Machine Backups" which had all my backups. However, when Time Machine finished backing up the "Time Machine Backups" folder dissappeared and I'm back to the sparsebundle folder that I can't access. When I try to open the sparsebundle folder I get a message saying: "You do not have permission to open the document my name's Macbook Pro.sparsebundle. Contact you computer or network administrator for assistance."
It seems like my Time Machine backups are there but are inaccessible.
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

That's "iffy" and not supported by Apple. See the Using Time Machine with a USB drive connected to an Airport Extreme *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.

Yes, that's correct. When doing backups to a locally-connected disk, the backups are in a normal folder named Backups.backupdb at the top level of the drive. But when they're done over a network, that folder is placed in a sparse bundle. You cannot switch from one to the other.
You should be able to access the older backups while the disk is locally-attached by manually mounting the sparse bundle (double-click it in the Finder), then using the +*Browse . . .+* option (right-click the TM icon in your Dock, or hold the Option key while pressing your mouse on the TM icon in your menubar).
But since you couldn't mount them while connected to the Airport, it sounds like the sparse bundle is corrupted. Try a +*Repair Disk+* (not permissions) on them, per #A5 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum. If DU can't repair them, there's a possibility a 3rd-party disk repair app like +Disk Warrior+ can. But there's no guarantee.

  • Timecapsule - Timemachine - Sparsebundle problem

    I wanted to new install the system on my son's Macbook. It's normally hooked up to a Timecapsule for Timemachine Bachups. I cleaned the HD and installed teh system. Then i wanted to use Migration assistent to get his files back. I only saw 3 other computer Backups but not my sons. When i go into the HD from the Time Capsule directly i can see the .Sparsebundle of his back up. At first i couldn't access it but by restarting all computers and TimeCapsule i can mount the .sparsebundle image. The last thing i see is a file with no icon named with a timestamp and then 'inProgress'. I think the last back up was interrupted and now the file is 'damaged'. When i right click is can look into the package and see the files. But when i try to copy them i get a system warning saying the volume has not the right .....??? something with the big or small letters in the name o the volume.... for a back up.?????
    Can somebody help we. There a some files that are important, not all.
    Thanks already

    Hello Pondini
    Thanks for your reply. Somehow Migration Assistant does not see the older backups and 'repairing' doesn't work. Disk utility somewhere stops in the process without giving any info.
    In the Disk Utility menubar, select +Window > Show Log.+ The messages should be there, with each task it's done separated by a row of asterisks. Most likely, there'll be one or more error messages, then one saying Disk Utility can't repair it.
    I can get into the 'inProgress' file by looking into the package, i see the files i need, but can't copy them over because it always says 'The volume in not in the good 'capital sensitivity for a backup' (i don't know if i translate that right).
    Could the message be about the backups being case-sensitive but your internal HD not being case-sensitive?
    If so, that's a difficult one. I think I recall seeing a post showing a way, using Terminal, but I don't have any luck searching for it.

  • Time Machine error -1, cannot access sparsebundle (but not a NAS or WD problem)

    Hello, this is my first post here, so I'll try to make it a good one! 
    I've been wrestling with this problem ever since I bought my Core i7 iMac (SSD + 1TB HD)   over a year ago.  I have not gotten Time Machine to work during that whole time.  Well, I got it to work backing up directly to my internal HD, but that was just a test; it's not what I want.  So let me describe this in the most clear and consise way I can:
    I want the Time Machine disk to be my Synology NAS.  I've configured a share on it correctly.  I have an older iMac running SnowLeopard backing up to the same share on the NAS with TimeMachine successfully.  But, my iMac won't do it.  Whether I create the sparsebundle manually, or I let TimeMachine create it, it always gives the same "error -1".  I wrote a more detailed account of my symptoms here (my message is the reply), when I thought this was a NAS-specific issue. 
    New development: This is not a NAS issue. I found that out by trying an experiment:
    First, I tried to back up my SSD using Time Machine to my internal 1TB disk - I selected the "1 TB Secondary Disk" as the Time Machine disk.  I initiated the backup, and it worked fine, putting the time machine backup in the "Backups.backupsdb" directory structure at the root of the drive.  I then turned off Time Machine and "removed" the 1TB as my backup disk.
    Then, I created a sparsebundle at the root of the drive using this command:
    hdiutil create -size 150g -fs HFS+J -volname "Time Machine" NAME_xxxxxxxxxxxx.sparsebundle
    (where the "xxxxxxxxxxxx" is my ethernet MAC address).  I then selected the "1 TB Secondary Disk" as the Time Machine disk again.  Time Machine found my sparsebundle and started working with it... and got "error -1"!   So even on a local drive, when Time Machine tries to use a sparsebundle for backing up, it still doesn't work. 
    Now, I have the console log entries that were written during the Time Machine backup attempt:

    1/1/13 12:56:19.265 PM com.apple.backupd[4460]: Failed to eject Time Machine disk image: /Volumes/1 TB Secondary Disk/iMac.sparsebundle
    So, here I see it tries to resize the sparsebundle to the full volume size, and fails.  I don't think I want it to do this resize, because I don't want it to fill up my whole NAS share.  I searched and found this post, which specifies how to set the permissions in the sparsebundle such that it won't be resized.  I followed those instructions with a new sparsebundle, and see the same problem... tries to resize, and fails.
    I do not have Western Digital software installed and never have.
    I've tried everything on this page.
    It seems like the attempt to resize is corrupting the sparsebundle.  Before starting the backup, I can mount the sparsebundle and manually copy files to it.  After attempting the backup, I can mount the sparsebundle, but I cannot copy anything to it manually.  Note that I can mount the sparsebundle that the MacBook Pro uses for Time Machine, and manually copy files to and from it (in other words, the correct SnowLeopard configuration does allow manual copying). 
    I have tried repairing the sparsebundle using the Disk Utility, which restores the ability to manually copy files to it, but Time Machine once again renders it unwriteable when it attempts to back up.
    Anyone know of anything else I can try?  Thank you so much!
    Dan

    Yeah, sorry about the broken link.  I noticed that link wasn't working after I replied, then I edited my earlier reply.  Also, yes, copying the files was just meant as a test; I created new clean sparsebundles for other tries.
    Anyway, I'm not too worried about the resizing for now; first things first, let's just get Time Machine working  with a sparsebundle at all.
    I don't know how to make Time Machine create its own sparsebundle on my local drive; if there isn't a manually created sparsebundle at the root, it just puts everything in the "Backups.backupsdb" directory structure without a sparsebundle.  However, it of course does create its own sparsebundle when I point it to my NAS share (as I understand it, Time Machine knows the NAS filesystem doesn't support everything it needs, so it creates the sparsebundle to emulate the correct filesystem).  As I have always gotten the same "error -1" when using the NAS share as I did when using the local sparsebundle, I was assuming the same problem was happening in both cases... but now I've checked the console log after doing a backup attempt on the NAS share, and I see different stuff:

    So... looking through this, it does some mounting, which all works fine, then it does a create sparsebundle, which appears to work fine, but then it tries to "hide extension", but it can't because it can't find the sparsebundle that it supposedly created.  Then it tries three times to eject the NAS share ('TM Backups'), and fails, and gives up.  At this time I get the "error -1" pop up on my monitor, and check the NAS share (using the disk utility on the NAS managment page), and sure enough there is the sparsebundle "iMac.sparsebundle".  So why does it create it, but then not be able to use it? 
    Skiing tomorrow, must sleep now.  :-)

  • Problems & new sparsebundle

    I have had a multitude of problems with TM and have posted several questions with no response. But I'll try again.
    I have not been able to get TM to complete a backup to my TC. Endless preparation that seems related to the Spotlight indexing. I think part of the problem might be in how I use my MacBook. It’s a laptop so half the time I'm in my family room connected by WiFi. The rest of the time and overnight its in my office hooked up to the TC by Ethernet. Because the preparation/indexing is taking days not hours, and because I need to continue to use my MacBook during its backup routine, I am having to shift between Wifi and Ethernet. This often causes the backup to fail.
    And yesterday I got a message that my 1TB TC was full. When I looked I noticed that TM had created a new sparsebundle created yesterday. What's with that?
    Would someone PLEASE respond? At the very least, can someone provide a resource that I can use. The documentation provided by Apple assumes everything runs perfectly and is of no use. I'm getting ready to dump the whole thing. Not sure I would recommend it to anyone.

    "What do either the Airport Utility or Finder actually report for the capacity and free space on the Disk."
    Airport Utility and the Finder (TC total) are both the same 805GB used
    "If it's really full or close to it what files are on it? and how big are they - you can use Get Info in Finder."
    Only 5 files located on TC:
    Lightroom backup folder = 2G
    iTunes folder = 48G
    Sparsebundle #1 = 8mb
    Sparsebundle #2 = 248mb
    Sparsebundle #3 = Finder has been "Calculating Size" for 24 hours with still no result.
    A word about my use of TC. I bought the TC in March and initially used successfully with my old MacBook. In June I bought a new MacBook and successfully backed it up. Basically stopped working 3 days ago after 3rd mysterious sparsebundle showed up.
    "You can use terminal if the visible files don't add up to the used amount."

  • Problem with 4 sparsebundles to a time capsule - running out of room

    hi, if anyone could help me? I am near critical in filling up the time capsule and time machine is not deleting older files within the sparsebundles.
    I have 4 macs backing up to a 1Tb time capsule via time machine. I have only 4.4 G left.
    Theoretically, the time machines for each individual machines should have started deleting once I hit a critical mark. But, it has simply continued filling and I am worried it is going to crash.
    I realized this happend a few months ago when I was keeping docs AND sparsebundles on the timecapsule. but when I called applecare, they guarenteed it was because of the data files and once I had only sparse bundles on the time capsule, there would be no problem.
    Well, the problem has reoccured, and I am no longer covered by apple care.
    My questions are:
    1. I was told once that you could export your sparsebundles directly to a USB drive? Can someone tell me how (from within time capsule). Otherwise, copying requires it go through one of my computers (which I assume would then be done wirelessly and be slooooooow). I can't take it in to the apple store until I have the data backed up.
    2. Am I doing anything wrong? Is there a setting (ie watermark) that I am simply missing?
    Any help would be greately appreciated.

    No, there's no "critical mark" if you mean a certain percentage or amount of space remaining. Time Machine will begin deleting old backups when it doesn't have enough room for new ones.
    If any of your Macs are running Leopard, however, and have the +Warn when old backups are deleted+ box checked in Time Machine Preferences > Options, the backups will fail with a "Backup disk full" message. See #C4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).

  • Sparsebundle in use, error codes, Mountain Lion problems!

    Ok ,Apple has another bad experience on its list. So called" smooth upgrade" to Mountain Lion, clearly breaks automated back up on Time Machine. I have rebooted, and still no sustained back up. What a farce. Apple is becoming the old Microsoft.. upgrades and breaking stuff... I am VERY disappointed... what is a formal Apple answer on this. Anyone left in Cupertino , who is not working in iOs , and actually cares about Mountain Lion actually supporting stuff their store sold me ? Tim Cook, you should now be allowing this. Stock price high, customer sat with Mountain Lion- low ?

    I have had the same issue.
    Nothing on Pondini's C17 has worked for me.
    Toggling the "enable file sharing" box and rebooting CPU & Time Capsule worked...for about 2-3 days. Then I get the same error. I gave been putting up with this for over a month. I have been to just about every forum that relates to the "sparsebundle already in use" error and no fix has worked for more than 48-72 hours.
    Lion and Mt. Lion correlate with a lot of new issues for me. Getting desperate for some help.

  • 'sparsebundles' - are all my problems related?

    PLUS
    Can't download Snow Leopard system updates - repeated error
    NOW
    My Time Machine backup - which has worked perfectly for many months has suddenly decided 'the back-up disk image /volumes......sparsebundles' could not be accessed!!
    Are all these issues related?
    Any advice most welcome.

    No, never have run 10.7 - it was my mistake on the drop down menu!
    Software update issues - security update, itunes, java update 14 - all these are not happening for me - it starts the download process and then reverts to an error message.
    A previous response suggested I try Combo Update to iron out some glitches - but this I can't download either as once downloaded it tells me ' the following disk images couldn't be opened' reason - illegal seek.
    In addition today, my Time Machine has been unable to do its hourly back-up stating 'Volumes/....sparse.bundle' could not be accessed.
    I am curious to know if all these issues are related and if something sinister has occurred.
    Everything else is working perfectly!

  • The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/MacPro.sparsebundle" is already in use. Has anybody had this problem?

    Can anyone assist.

    1. Open the Sharing preference pane and check that the computer name hasn't changed without your knowledge. For example, if the name was "X's iMac," it might now be "X's iMac (2)". In that case, restore the original name. You may have to click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane to unlock the settings. Test. If there's no improvement, or if the name had not been changed, continue.
    2. If you're backing up to a Time Capsule, or an AirDisk attached to a 2013 or later model AirPort Extreme base station, restart it in either of the following ways:
    ☞ Disconnect and reconnect the power adapter.
    ☞ Select the device in the AirPort Utility application and then select
              Base Station ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    If AirPort Utility notifies you of a firmware update, install it.
