Time Machine backup to Windows Share Now Failing Verify

Hi Everyone - I have searched everywhere and can't find any help.
This is my situation. I have my TM backup to an SMB windows share and its been working fine for months. Two things changed recently: a) I installed Windows 7 on my windows box and b) I installed that TM update that provides greater reliability. Backups worked fine for weeks after both of these changes, but just this week backups failed and TM wanted to create a new backup. I tried to recreate a new backup, but it keeps failing with errors below. When I try to run a verify disk on the sparsebundle (with disk util) I always get errors, but of course, I can not fix the errors when the sparsebundle is on an SMB. I am currently running a chkdsk on the windows drive, but I don't think its damaged.

Anyone encounter this? I essentially can not use TM right now. Could the TM update and/or windows 7 upgrade be a contributor? Any help is much appreciated.

Is that a "supported" destination? According to this Apple article: Disks that can be used with Time Machine
*+If your backup disk is on a network, the network server must use Apple File Protocol (AFP) file sharing, and both your computer, and the networked backup disk, should have Mac OS X 10.5.6 or later.*+

It appears to have finished the actual backup (two passes).

Then has a problem; apparently unable to delete the thread record, although listed 3rd, seems to be where it choked.

  • Time Machine backup causes network connections to fail

    We have a simple network with OS X Server (10.6.4) + a 10.6.4 Mac client and a Windows XP client. For some time we have been suffering sporadic drop outs of the network connection from the iMac OS X client to the server: the shared drives just disappear and you can't reconnect.
    I have now narrowed this down to a problem with Time Machine. By logging on as a user on the OS X Server I was able to observe that the user session on the server suffered the same problem sometimes and this ONLY happens when Time Machine is running - I think its always when Time Machine is backing up the server.
    Its an absolutely infuriating problem and very disruptive for our business. I am loath to switch off Time Machine on the server but don't know what else to do. Has anyone else experienced this problem or got any ideas?

    Yep, Rikakiah, seems you are right, I am not alone! There are two other threads here which discuss the same issue:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11539266&#11539266
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11539227
    From my testing it seems that the problem may be related to some interplay between Time Machine and LDAP - I say this because I can sometimes clear the problem and regain access to my shares by going into Workgroup Manager, removing the group assignments (which give access to the shares), saving the change, then adding the group assignments back.
    This made me think that your solution should fix it, but unfortunately although I have excluded /var/db from Time Machine backups, I am still sporadically getting the problem.

  • Restoring time machine backup to windows machine

    Hey. Just asking a general question. My Imac was stolen but I had made a time machine restore approximately 2 weeks prior to the incident. Unfortunately I was unable to afford to replace my Imac and purchased a windows 8 machine instead. Is there a way to restore the Time Machine backup to Win8. I just want to extract my pictures and music and documents. Thank you very much.

    So, You're saying I can do this from a different computer with its own Time Machine?
    In other words, I have my Time Machinedrive  from the dead iMac and a fresh, formatted drive both hooked up to an unrelated computer with its own Time Machine.
    If I enter Time Machine on that computer won't it show me the data it backs up for that computer only?
    Will Time Machine know that there are two Time Machine backups (the one from the iMac and the one from the new host machine), and allow me to select the one from the iMac?

  • ITunes Library from Time Machine Backup to Windows 7?!

    Hi everyone,
    Yeah, I'm switching over to a PC...
    Does anyone know how to put an iTunes library from a Time Machine backup to a PC (running Windows 7?)
    Thanks!

    When I tried to relaunch itunes holding down the option button and select my backed-up itunes folder from time machine
    Is this after you restored the iTunes folder from Time Machine? Or were you trying to select the iTunes folder on the Tme Machine drive to use as the iTunes library?
    Quit iTunes.
    Open Time Machine.
    Selct \Music\iTunes\ in Time Machine.
    Go back to when you want it restored from.
    Click on Restore.
    When it asks, select Replace.
    After it is finsihed copying, launch iTunes.

  • Issue with Time Machine backup to Windows 7

    My problem is tough to search for as the keywords are common for other issues, so excuse me if this is something that's already been answered.
    I want to use Time Machine to back up my MBP onto a folder inside a partition of a harddrive on my windows 7 machine. This partition is exclusively for backups; there are 2 disk images that are backups of partitions on my windows machine and that is all.
    I created a folder for the backup i was about to create of my Mac. I followed these instructions for networking and sharing settings: http://hciguy.wordpress.com/2010/06/16/using-time-machine-to-backup-your-mac-to- an-ntfs-drive-over-the-network-running-win-7/
    Everything seemed to be in order. Finder was able to connect to and mount the folder I made for the backups. Then I noticed something frustrating. The files that the instructions said I should copy to the windows folder appeared in Windows Explorer, but Finder thought that that directory was EMPTY. I created a folder using Finder to see what would happen to it, and it disappeared before I could name it. It appeared in Windows Explorer, however, where I deleted it.
    This is not an issue of hidden files; I already explored that theory. Also, I think that this issue is what keeps Time Machine from failing its backups. The error that TM keeps giving is related to the username and password, but I am using the correct windows login and password, as I did to connect to the volume initially.
    Thanks in advance

    I would suggest posting this exact question to the OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard or OSX 10.5 Leopard forums. In each there is a subforum on Time Machine. Those people there are experts on TM. whenever I have an issue on TM, I get answers literally minutes after posting. They are good. You will find that many users specialize in certain forums. I will see different names in each one.
    Any ways, post the link to the thread in the Time Machine forum here, so that anyone sees this, knows to go over there.
    I'm pretty good at TM, but I have no clue how to answer your question. I think you're using competing operating systems, and they're having a war. Metaphorically.

  • Time machine backup from network share

    Hi there,
    I was wondering whether there is a possibility to backup a personal folder on a network drive/share via time machine?
    Anybody?
    Pierre

    This may help, in a backwards way.  When I attempted to attach a Buffalo Technology NAS to my system and use it with Time Machine, I was unable to make it work.  So I contacted Apple Technical Support on the phone and was elevated to talking to one of their Senior Engineers.  He informed me that Apple designed Time Machine to only be compatible with USB and Firewire, and that Apple does NOT support use of Time Machine over an ethernet connection to an NAS.  So he recommended I return my NAS and purchase a USB/Firewire type external drive for use with Time Machine.  Which is what I did and have been happy ever since.
    Hope this helps

  • Opening Time Machine Backup in Windows

    Hi,
    My MacBook recently had a harddrive failure for the second time in a year. I think I have everything backed up from it through a Time Machine external harddrive, although after reading some of the posts on iTunes and iPhoto backups I'm not so sure. I have my external harddrive connected to a windows laptop through macdrive. Where do I look to find the iPhoto and iTunes backups? I can't seem to find them in the file structure. Is there a way to do this withough connecting the harddrive to another macintosh running Leopard? I also have an older G5 running 10.3.
    Thank you!
    Thank you.

    If you're going to tinker, make a backup of the folder, first. However, read through and find out why that might not work on windows, even with MacDrive.
    The files are in the same place in the directory structure as they are on the disk. However, I'm not sure what you will see with the PC. Inside the main backup folder there are dated incremental backup folders. There is an alias to the "Latest" backup folder, or you can go to the latest dated folder. If you dig into that folder, you'll find your HD file structure.
    However, if a file has not changed, a hard link is created in the incremental backup folder to the original. Nothing actually exists there--the file system just creates a pointer in its directory that says "pretend like this original file is here." I don't know how MacDrive/Windows will interpret those links. If it cannot resolve the hard links, then you would have to wade through each of these folders to recover any incremental changes.
    If you damage the backup while tinkering with it in Windows, you may not be able to recover it with TM.
    After you replace the Hard Drive, you can use the Installer disk to recover your TM backup to the new drive.

  • Restoring Time Machine backup to Windows 7

    Hi
    I own a Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard (until recently).
    In an atempt to partition the drive with Boot Camp, it froze, and after a restart, the drive showed only 9GB free.
    I backed everything up on Time Machine, and decided to format the drive and install Windows 7, since that's what i was about to do anyways.
    At this point, i do not have access to Snow Leopard, however, my data is backed up on external drive through Time Machine.
    What would be the easiest way to transfer my data from the Time Machine external hard drive to my current Windows 7 partition?
    Other than of course restore the OS from backup.
    Thank you very much.

  • Time Machine backups of File Shares on OS X Server

    I'm running OS X Server on Mavericks 10.9.4.   The server itself has 3 drives, the Boot drive, a file-sharing-only drive "Server", and a TimeMachine backup which backs up both drives.   Generally it works fine.
    However, I've noticed that if a file sharing client edits a file on the Server drive, it seems as if TimeMachine (on the server, not on the client) doesn't "see" the changes and thus won't back up that file.
    I have not determined the pattern : some files created or edited by clients ARE backed up by TimeMachine normally.  But sometimes the changes are missed.
    Anyone else seeing this?

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Will time machine backup my windows xp partition?

    as the subject reads

    Yeah, i've found the only benefit to NTFS on a mac is it supports files bigger than 4Gb
    I'm thinking of going back to FAT32 because osx STILL doesn't natively support read/write to NTFS, only read
    And the 3G NTFS driver is REALLY buggy. I can't get it to work with 10.5 correctly.
    I tried formatting my bootcamp partition as fat32 and windows installed to it, but it wouldn't boot, came up with a generic disk error
    I think that was because the partition was bigger than 32Gb, which FAT32 is not supposed to support.
    You can format a partition much bigger than that (my 750Gb was FAT32 until last week) without any problem, but I don't think windows will boot off anything bigger than 32Gb unless its NTFS
    thanks for the help!

  • Used Time Machine to Restore system but now wont recognise original backups

    Hello Everyone,
    I've had a read through some of the older posts, but I wasn't able to find a answer for my issue.
    I've recently restored my system using a Time Machine backup - Everything works wonderfully now, except for Time Machine itself, which is now refusing to use/display my original backups.
    I have selected the correct disk, but rather than using the backups on it, it creates a new folder in the Backups.backupdb folder called 'Peter's iMac 2'. I have deleted this new folder several times already.
    My actual backups are stored in the 'Peter's iMac' folder.
    I can browse my backups using the 'Browse Other time Machine Disks' function, but it does not seem to want to use them as my primary backups.
    I do not have the room to hold both my old backups, and a separate new backup.
    Does anyone have any idea how I can force/trick/entice Time Machine to accept my old backups?
    Thanks everyone.

    aussie,
    *_Time Machine Always Performs a Full Backup After a Full Restore_*
    Actually, this is normal. It's not that any of your hardware has changed, it's that you reinstalled the operating system again. Consider the following according to the KB article below:
    *Full Backup After Restore*
    Bear in mind that in all cases Time Machine will perform a full backup after a full restore. This is normal. Time Machine will resume incremental backups after the full backup has completed. To view previous backups, Control-click or right-click the Time Machine icon in your Dock or Option-click the Time Machine menu extra and Choose "Browse Other Time Machine Disks," then select your previous backup volume. You will enter Time Machine and be able to browse your previous back ups and restore files. [http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1338]
    So even on unchanged hardware, if you reinstall your system software and restore your user data, Time Machine starts anew, and you will not be able to resume backing up with the same history as the previous backups.
    While there may be ways to fool/hack Time Machine into recognizing previous backups without performing another full backup, they are likely rather elaborate.
    Ultimately, though, in a couple of months, all the effort to preserve old backups may seem pointless. After all, Time Machine will eventually purge away that data anyways as it replaces it with new files.
    It may simply be easier to begin a fresh series of backups while saving the previous backups until your satisfied that you have enough history built up. Then delete the old backups.
    Hope this clarifies some things.
    Cheers!

  • Time Machine backup to a HD on another Mac on my network?

    _The short story_:
    I want my MacBook Pro Time Machine backup drive to be one connected to my G5. The MacBook and G5 are connected via my wired network. I have file sharing turned on and can access it, with read and write permissions, but Time Machine can't find it. How do I browse for it and select it?
    _The Long story_:
    I was out of town for 8 months, during which time I bought a MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.2). I also purchased an OWC 1.5TB HD which I connected directly to the MacBook via Firewire 800 and used it for Time Machine backups. Cake.
    Now I am home, where my trusty old G5 resides. The G5 is at OS 10.5.8. The MacBook and G5 are both on my wired network.
    I connected the new OWC 1.5TB drive to the G5 via Firewire 800. I can see this drive from my MacBook via file sharing, can read and write to it, etc, but when I go to "Select Backup Disk" in Time Machine on the MacBook, no drives show up. If I right-click on the Time Machine icon and select "Browse Other Time Machine Disks", there is nothing there either.
    Essentially, I just need to find that same drive which is now connected to another networked Mac.
    The only user account I have on each machine is just a single Admin account. Does it have something to do with creating a new account on the G5?
    Since the drive in question is connected to the G5, it seems like the G5 is the gateway (for lack of a better term) for my MacBook to get to that drive. I just don't know how to make that happen, since when browsing in Time Machine for backup drives, you can't select a networked computer and then drill down to a specific drive.

    I was hoping to find a way to automatically mount the OWC drive on the desktop of my MacBook, so on the MacBook I selected "Go" in Finder and chose "Connect to Server". I selected my G5 and was then able to drill down to the OWC drive. That brought up a Finder window that allowed me to access everything on the G5. I guess that is just basic file sharing via my network.
    I had a feeling that would allow Time Machine on the MacBook to use that drive, and it did. However, when I selected "Back Up Now", it appears to create a new backup, not just the usual incremental backup that you get after the first time you use Time Machine.
    I am closer, but clearly don't have the full solution. I was hoping Time Machine would see that drive as the same one it had been using (since it is), but obviously it wants to start a backup from scratch, so to speak.
    Ideas?

  • External HDD (for Time Machine backup) detected but won't mount on desktop

    I have been using this external HDD as my Time Machine backup for many months now. No desktop display settings have been changed (I checked), but now it won't mount on my desktop. I suspect one of my kids was banging around on the keyboard, as they have done in the past, and renamed it. Unfortunately it appears they renamed it to NULL this time around. I didn't think that was possible, but I've plugged it into 3 different Windows and iMac machines, and in all cases the external drive gets detected, but then in all cases it doesn't mount. The Volume Label does appear blank in the device properties.
    Is there a way to access my drive again to rename it? Will that allow it to mount again? Or is there a way to access it to just reformat the whole darn thing?
    Thanks!
    Tom

    I don't think it's possible to have a null name for a drive so i suspect there is a problem with it. open disk utility. does it show the name of the drive? try repairing it (repair disk not permissions). if that doesn't help you can always reformat it with Disk Utility. select the whole drive ( model, not name) and use the partition tab.

  • Time Machine "Backup Disk Not Available" over WAN

    I have port forwarded port 46 (TCP and UDP) to port 548 a Mac mini server running Mac OS X 10.6.8, and I have Time Machine backup disk on it set as a share point with Time Machine support enabled. On my Mac Pro running OS X 10.8.5, I am able to connect via AFP to my server with the address "afp://my-ip-address:46" and can read and write on the backup disk share point. I tested that, and it works. When I am on the same LAN as the server, I can use that disk for Time Machine and have been doing so for years. However, I cannot do a Time Machine backup to that share point over the WAN. When I open Time Machine preferences, I can select the share point as my backup disk, but once I start the backup, it says "Backup disk not available" and fails to start. How could I fix this problem?
    In case you're wondering, I forward port 46 to port 548 instead of port 548 to port 548 to minimize hacking attempts. Last time I used a default port, a computer in Taiwan started spamming SSH authentication failures.

    I did find this article via Google
    <http://www.macgurulounge.com/make-time-machine-remotely-back-up-to-your-time-cap sule/>
    Personally, I use CrashPlan (free option using my own disks) to backup over the internet.  It works very well when I'm away from home.  Everything is encrypted.
