Time Capsule backup constantly failing with error message - error message 11 but different file.

Hi
I have had problems with my backup failing since 12 June
Most of the time I get error message 11 (have had error message 31 once) and each time it is a different file. The last failure gave this message in console
17/06/2011 13:20:11          com.apple.backupd[1743]          Indexing a file failed. Returned 200 for: /Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Office/CalendarCore.framework, /Volumes/Time Machine Backups/Backups.backupdb/Stephen Dalziel’s iMac/2011-06-16-232227.inProgress/10F26F18-689F-47D2-959E-964D07E82445/Macintos h HD/Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Office/CalendarCore.framework
I have followed Pondini C3 by excluding the file from the first message but then failure occurred with a different file so excluded that and it failed again.
Went through repair A5 - that took an age even connecting via ethernet - still not working.
I have to confess that before I got to Pondini troubleshooting I googled the problem and a forum said delete latest and partial backups from sparse bundle - I did this via Finder and now I can't get rid of them from trash - discovered via Pondini I shouldn't have done this and tried E6 but without success.
What are my options?
I can use a computer but technical jargon is like Hieroglyphics to me so if you can reply in simple plain English that would be useful

Did you delete the Latest alias, and/or the most reccent time-stamped backup?  If so, your backups are toast. 
Your only option is to erase the Time Capsule's disk and let Time Machine start fresh.  See To erase everything on the Time Capsule’s internal disk in #Q5 of Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule.

    Thanks, Howard

    You can change the case sensitivity of the sparsebundle.. but I really doubt the error is real.
    See A8 here.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    The sparsebundle should have case sensitivity turned on.
    I cannot even fathom how it could have changed.
    Let me recommend before you start fooling around with the sparsebundle.
    Do a full network start.
    Power everything off.. start up modem.. wait 2min.. power up the TC.. wait 2min.. power up any other network gear like switches.. wait..
    Now power up the computer and try it.
    If the error is the same.. I would do a factory reset of the TC.. give it all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Then reset TM .. see A4 in the same reference as above.. and do a verify of the backups.. A5 above and try the backup again..
    No luck..
    Then erase the TC and start over.. it is sometimes necessary as TM does get itself in a knot.

  • Time Capsule backup suddenly fails. Why?

    Dear all,
    I have used Time Capsule (1 TB) to backup three Macs for months now and everything has worked just fine. Since two days however, Time Machine doesn't backup anymore. It tries to access Time Capsule and then stops with an error message saying that "an error has occurred while creating the backup folder" (German text: "Beim Erstellen des Backup-Verzeichnisses ist ein Fehler aufgetreten"). I have no clue why this happens. Nothing has been changed on the Mac itself. Time Capsule has not yet run out of storage, 415 GBytes out of 929 are still available.
    The error only occurs on one of my three Macs. I however have no idea how to resolve the problem since Time Machine doesn't give any more specific details.
    I do not want to lose the backed up data....! So far Time Capsule has been pretty reliable but not anymore...
    Thanks in advance for any help and kind regards

  • Time Machine backups suddenly failing with error 109 (console errors inc.)

    I've been using Time Machine over my Airport Extreme Base Station for months without a single error, and all of the sudden it fails constantly with the error:
    *The backup disk image “/Volumes/TARDIS-1/Derek’s iMac_001f5bf60eb1.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error 109).*
    I've tried selecting the drive again since it's mounted fine. It's mounted as TARDIS, not TARDIS-1, which I thought was a clue to the problem until I went to the Console to see all of the errors:

    I've seen others say that Time Machine quit working after updating to Snow Leopard, but i've been running it since launch and the problems only appeared yesterday. Ideas?

    I'm not sure why you call it a "phantom" drive, because I was quite intentionally connected to that network drive. In any case, I did as you recommended, in case that was the issue (though over the months I've often been connected to the network drive). Sadly, no dice.

    During the step "Making backup disk available..." in the Time Machine preference pane, looking in Volumes, I have:
    lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 1 Sep 10 19:48 Macintosh HD -> /
    drwx------ 13 root 398 Mar 10 2009 TARDIS
    drwxr-xr-x 1 derek 12288 Mar 5 2009 Untitled
    So it's properly connecting to TARDIS, it would seem, as root.

  • Time Capsule backup keeps failing

    MacBookPro connected via ethernet to 1TB TC. Had same problem as many other users: backups hanging or failing repeatedly. So I completely erased the TC and started again. Backup proceeded well for about 8GB (out of 70GB total backup) but then the backup hung again, and Console started displaying this crash message, repeated endlessly:
    =============
    Sep 28 07:57:41 MacBkPro mdworker[1248]: fcntl to turn on FCHECKOPENEVT failed!
    Sep 28 07:57:41: --- last message repeated 1 time ---
    Sep 28 07:57:41 MacBkPro ReportCrash[1249]: Formulating crash report for process translate[1248]

    Sep 28 07:57:41 MacBkPro com.apple.launchd[1] (0x10bdd0.translate[1248]): Exited abnormally: Bus error
    ==============
    Now every time I start a new backup, when TimeMachine gets to around the 8GB mark it repeats precisely the same scenario.
    HELP!

    Nobody seems interested in this specific issue, but just in case anybody else is experiencing related problems, I offer a solution. To get an idea what's happening during backups, open "Console" (/Applications/Utilities/Console) and select the "system.log". Keep reading the last few lines as they scroll by.
    ===
    mdworker1248: fcntl to turn on FCHECKOPENEVT failed!
    ===
    "mdworker" is related to Spotlight indexing. I tried every other solution mentioned in this entire "TC" discussion area without success. I then turned OFF Spotlight indexing. (This took many hours of research to accomplish ... if you want to do it, just go get "OnyX" v1.9.9 - cost $0. Go to "Parameters" and select "Spotlight").
    Everything is now working fine - the computer has never been more responsive and Time Machine backups have never been faster. I don't use Spotlight and have no use for it. (And yes - I know what it does).

  • Reports constantly fail with Not Authorized Error

    I have been using version of ARD for years now - and overall I love it. BUT-there's always a but - the reporting component has me at about the end of my last nerve. A couple of times a year I need to run diferent reports for inventory and planning purposes - and every year the reports fail over and over again with no real explanation and never any solution. All the computers on my network are running the latest version of the client and I always keep the Admin server up to date. All I can do is delete all the computers - restart - re-add them - change their report upload schedule- and repeat 10 times until they finally work. Has anyone else ever come across a solution that actually works for this.

    Well I use to some times enoucnter an issue when reporting would fail. When I did, I would select the computer records that had the error. I would then get info on those effected computer record. I would change the reporting time/day of the week to a few minutes from the current time/day of the week. I would also make sure that the IP address i'm currently at is listed as the ARD server to report to in the computer record.
    I would then wait a few minutes past the set reporting time, before trying to run a report.
    What I did to fix this issue long tearm.
    make sure the clients are set allow ARD reporitng
    set ARD computer to have a static IP. (that way when the clients try to report in, they're reporting to the right computer)
    set ARD computer to never sleep, leave ARD open. (at least for date/times a client  computer ould call in to report)
    for desktops, auto turn on/wakeup/boot on the day of the week they should report in. On the clients energy saver set so the computers wouldn't sleep for at least 30 minutes. set reporting on those client to be about 20 minutes after the computer boot/wakes/starts up.
    for laptops set reporting to happen at a time/day of the week client computer will most likely going to be on & connected to your network.
    Depending on how many computers you have you may want to spread your reportings out.

  • Time Machine backup constantly failing....anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi folks.  I know there are other threads about htis but i'm looking for new information about this,.  This CONSTANTLY happens.  I have a brand new mac with lion on it backing up to a 2TB external USB drive.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  I've done verify, i've done repair...keeps happening.  Anyone figure out how to fix this?  THanks.

    Have you erased the drive and reset Time Machine?

  • I had my hard drive replaced and since my Time Machine backups say failed

    I had my hard drive replace and since my Time Capsule backups are failing. The exact message is:
    The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk.
    The problem may be temporary. Try again later to back up. If the problem persists, use disk utility to repair your backup disk.

    No, replacing your hard drive has nothing to do with it. There is a problem with your backup drive. As far as Time Machine is concerned replacing a drive is no different than buying a new computer. Time Machine will need to make a brand new backup from scratch.
    If you have a large enough backup drive this may not be a problem. Otherwise, you may not have sufficient space to maintain a new backup and keep the old one. So, I would suggest under the circumstances that you erase your backup drive, then start a new Time Machine backup from scratch.
    Drive Erase
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After Disk Utility loads select the volume you wish to format from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the Disk Utility main window.
    3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.

    Hi,
    Have you verified if your DBMS_AQ environment has been corrupted? If so, then you'll have to drop and recreate a number of queue related objects all over again. Furthermore, ORA-00942 appears to be the main problem as it is a case sensitivity error. You should change the table names to UPPERCASE and then try again.
    Hope this helps.

  • Macbook air restored from time capsule backup cannot find ms office product key

    Had a moisture problem on my Macbook Air.  Had to replace with newer pc as could not wait a week for repair.  Had been using Time Machine and a Time Capsule hard drive to back up and the final backup was about 5 minutes before the spill.
    So, I was able to fully restore the new laptop from Time capsule.  Only problem is that I had purchased MS Office and while the programs are restored, when I launch MS Word, it wants the product code.  I cannot find my cd and packaging with the product code from my original purchase.  Any way to get the code off the Time capsule backup?  It must be stored there somewhere but I wonder if it was encrypted and somehow linked to a physical something on the damaged MBAir.
    I'm hoping to not have to buy MS Office again.
    Thanks for any advice.

  • While trying to setup a time capsule backup to my MyBookLive external drive, I got the following error message: The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features. What's up with this?

    While trying to setup a time capsule backup to my MyBookLive external drive, I got the following error message: The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features. What's up with this?

    This means that your NAS does not support the required encryption. Update your NAS to the latest firmware or ditch it and buy a Time Capsule (they are the most reliable when using TM).

  • Since upgrading to Lion, my time machine backups are failing - error message: The backup disk image "/Volumes/Jackie Scanlon's Time Caps/Jacqueline Drabczynska's MacBook.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1). Any ideas?

    Since upgrading my Macbook to Lion, the time machine backups are failing - error message: "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Jackie Scanlon's Time Caps/Jacqueline Drabczynska’s MacBook.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1)."  I have rebooted the TIme Capsule and it worked OK, but don't want to do that every time.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

    Any new info on this? 
    I had the exact same problem and went crazy and spent a hecka lot of time trying to deal with my brand new 2TB Time Capsule and almost brand new MacBook Pro.  Then I thought I fixed it...and I tried SO MANY things, I don't really know what did it...except taking out any apostrophe's in names of stuff that Apple puts in there...BUT...now it's back.
    Grrr...

  • Trouble with initial Time Capsule backup

    I have just installed Time Capsule, and attempted the initial backup. The initial backup always fails with the error message "disk image cannot be created". After this failure, the "Airport Utility" will not recognise the Time Capsule, although the Time Capsule continues with a green light and the internet connection still works through Time Capsule. I have to reset Time Capsule for "Airport Utility" to recognise it again each time the backup fails with the error message above. Any ideas on how to correct the error and do the intial backup?
    Thanks

    -New to Mac-
    I switched this year after using WIN for years.
    I cannot get my Time Capsule to work. I tried everything in the 'forums', re-booted several times, changed the name of the Capsule, re-set, unplugged, used paper clips etc. I thought MAC's just 'worked' too. Not so far. I'm confident I will get it working even if I have to call Apple but I thought I'd read the fixes here first.
    I can see the drive in the finder. I have moved iTunes files over to the Time Cap so it's saving other files but I keep getting a 'unable to mount' message when I try to do a backup. Even deleted the 'sparse' bundle file (can't delete one of the files, 'bands' in use message) but still no worky.
    Still convinced Mac is a better system. Just put off on not being able to backup my MacBookPro...Not to mention the 300 bucks for the Time Capsule...

  • Windows 7 Backup is Failing with error 0x81000101

    Hello,
    My windows 7 backup is failing with the following message "Error Code: 0x81000101". I searched the internet but didn't find any good solution.
    Can you please tell me what should I do?

    If none of the above worked read this next
    Did your computer come with a Recovery Partition on the drive? (Check the computers documentation)
    If it did, you cannot have any backup software or System Restore set to backup or monitor that drive.
    Go to Control Panel.
    Click on Classic View in the Task Pane.
    Double click System.
    Select Advanced System Settings in the Tasks Pane.
    Click the System Protection Tab.
    In the Available Disks section, make sure that the backup partition is not selected. If it is, remove the check mark.
    After this is done or if this does not work, go to Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools and click on Disk Cleanup.
    In the Options dialog, select 'Files from all users on this computer'. Click the C: system drive. When the scan is completed, click the 'More Options' Tab. In the 'System Restore and Shadow Copies' section, click the 'Cleanup' button. In the 'Are you sure......' popup, click Delete. Click OK.
    Wait for the Disk Cleanup to complete.
    Now, go back into Disk Cleanup and follow the same procedure for any other drives that appear in the drop down menu where you selected the C: drive the first time.
    Exit everything and reboot the computer.
    After the computer reboots, check System Restore again. If System Restore is still not working, go back into System Protection and turn off System Restore for all drives and reboot the computer again. This will delete all restore points on all drives.
    After the reboot, go back and enable System Restore for the C: volume only. Create a new restore point for that drive.
    Let me know the results.

    I have tried the suggested solutions in other similar threads of increasing the timeout value with the registry entry. 
    This does not work.
    I have not tried reregistering the VSS writers manually, as the only links I have found are for server 2003/2008 (not R2) and explicitly state that they won’t work on higher versions of the OS, since they now utilize manifests and the manual procedure could
    cause problems for those servers. Haven't found similar procedures for 2008 R2.
    I have been able to narrow this down a bit.
    A Windows 2008 R2 SP1 server with Hyper-V installed – backup to a network share is successful;
    Install the DPM 2012 agent – same backup fails with the 2155348001 error.
    We use DPM 2012 to backup VMs, but DPM cannot perform a bare metal backup/restore of server and the 2012 version no longer has the DPMSRT feature. 
    I prefer to run Bare Metal Backup to a file server share.
    Stuck on this one.
