Time Machine backups fail after initial backup in Yosemite

After upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite, I was able to run one backup to my trusty USB drive.  Subsequent backups all start with "Preparing backup", and will write roughly 900KB to disk (or so it says) and then fails.  I created a Time Machine-compatible network drive on my Drobo 5n, and again, the initial backup is successful, and subsequent ones fail.  This is concerning and infuriating.  I'm hoping someone out there has encountered this problem as well.
Please note: this is regarding backups only.  I see a handful of discussions about not being able to perform restores in Yosemite, but that is not my issue.

Same here.
From Time Machine Buddy app:

Removed 1 expired backups so far, more space is needed - deleting oldest backups to make room
Deleted 1 backups containing 4 KB total; 250.63 GB now available, 424.87 GB required
Backup date range was shortened: oldest backup is now Oct 23, 2014
Backup failed with error 7: Not enough available disk space on the target volume.
It wants to do a full backup. Fine... so why doesn't it just delete more of the old backups to do so? I don't want to wipe the backup drive and start over now, but that seems like the only way to go.

  • Time Machine Stalls While Performing Initial Backup

    I have a 2008 macbook pro 13" with a 320GB internal HD which includes a Bootcamp partition.  I have been trying without success to do a Time Machine backup on this entire drive.  The Time Machine setup includes a backup of all files with the exception of the Bootcamp partition which is grayed out on the Time Machine setup dialog.  My backup device is a portable usb 1TB drive.  The initial backup keeps stalling after an hour of two with 20GB to 50GB of 243GB backed up when it quits.  Time Machine says "backup failed."  The console logs for the past several failures are below.  Does anyone know what is wrong here?

    I suggest starting by running DU repair on all HDs and repairing permissions.
    You might also see if you can exclude some suspicious folders or do a binary folder exclusion: ie:
    Exclude half your folders. It you can backup, add half the remaining folders, etc.
    If you cannot backup the first batch, exclude half of that first half until you eventually arrive at the errant folder. Then you can diagnose the cause.
    Usually, however, repairing permissions fixes these kinds of errors.

  • Time Machine stuck halfway through initial backup

    I've been having trouble getting Time Machine to complete its initial backup. After having tried many of the suggestions offered throughout various posts here and elsewhere, I'm really at a loss. My setup:
    * G5 Quad running 10.5.3
    * 250GB internal drive (Boot volume)
    * 750GB internal drive, split into 2 partitions, one of which I've designated as my Time Machine drive
    * Drobo connected via USB with 2 500GB drives in it.
    Every time I try to get my initial backup going, I get 107.41GB (of 157.37GB) into it, then TM just hangs. For hours. Even days. No errors, no response, no forward motion. I can't stop it unless I kill the backupd process via the command line.
    I've tried the following suggestions to get it working which I've found elsewhere:
    1) Repartitioning and zeroing out the 750GB drive, formatting it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    2) Deleting and rebuilding the spotlight index on all Volumes
    3) Excluding numerous folders from TM, including Applications, Caches, my Aperture library, Desktop and trashes.
    4) Repairing the permissions on my boot volume.
    5) Trashing the TM preferences and starting again.
    6) Trashing the incomplete backup and trying that again.
    I always end up with the same thing, hanging at that point. As an aside, is there any simple way to figure out what file it's trying to copy here?
    For the record, here's what's in my console log from my most recent attempt:

  • Time Machine doesn't acknowledge initial backup

    I purchased a Time Capsule and quickly and happily built a new 802.11n home wireless network with it. Yay. Then I hooked up my iMac to the Time Capsule via ethernet to do my initial Time Machine backup, knowing that it would take a LONG time (~400GB). Well, it took about 3 days to complete (which seems suspiciously slow...), but anyway, it finished sometime in the middle of the night. In the morning I looked at the Time Capsule and sure enough, there was the big-*** "sparse bundle" backup. Time Machine seemed to be in the middle of doing a relatively small backup, about 140MB, which I figured were the changes since I began the initial backup a few days before. However, I wished to unplug the ethernet and let it continue wirelessly, so I did so. However, Time Machine seemed to just hang there with the backup no longer progressing. Since I could simply have it redo the backup a little later without any real data loss, I just stopped the backup mid-progress. I unplugged the ethernet cable and the world seemed well. Then I clicked in Time Machine to begin a new backup.
    Of course, I expected this backup to be a rather small one, but I realized that Time Machine was about to begin another ~400GB backup! In fact, there was no information in the "Last Backup" field, so apparently Time Machine could not see the massive initial backup and was about to start all over again. Well, I am NOT about to wait another 3 days for it to do that, especially if the problem reoccurs, so I halted the backup and set Time Machine to "off."
    Now, what to do? Why can't Time Machine see the initial backup? Why is it trying to do another full backup (very little data changed on my system in the 3 days)? Did my stopping the "hourly" backup somehow "break" things?
    Advice? Thoughts?

    I'm not sure how the sparsebundle is identified by the computer, but if it is uniquely identified by the network connection used (ethernet, airport, firewire networking, etc.) then it could very well not identify the previous sparsebundle you made via Ethernet as being the one for your computer via Airport. I dont remember this being the case for me when I had my PowerBook backing up to my PowerMac via both Airport and/or Firewire networking, but I could be wrong...it was a while ago. Even though you seem to want to lean away from this, I'd recommend remaking it and just letting it go. You can use your computer in the mean time and allow the process to run in the background. It will pause and resume as the backup disk is available until the process is complete.

  • Time Machine backups fail after initial drive connection, cannot eject drive

    I have a Macbook Pro 13" Retina Display, 8GB running OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 and have set Time Machine backups to a 1TB WD My Passport.  When I first connect the drive the backup will run fine, but subsequent backups always fail.  In addition I typically cannot eject the drive.  I've scoured online forums and have completely reformatted the drive, and have even deleted some backup settings files from the hard drive, none of these has resolved my issue.

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes.) You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard."
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamp of the last "Starting" message that corresponds to the beginning of an an abnormal backup. Now
    CLEAR THE WORD "Starting" FROM THE TEXT FIELD
    so that all messages are showing, and scroll back in the log to the time you noted. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the text field.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Time machine takes forever on initial backup, progress bar randomly resets

    When I first tried to run Time Machine I was sure that it would be simple, as Apple Software generally is. I was warned by another user that the first backup might take a while, so I began the backup on a Friday night (the day my crispy new external 320GB Seagate drive arrived). When I went to bed it was on around 24GB of approx 65GB of data. When I got up the next morning, it had only backed up 27GB!
    Another problem I had a couple of times was after the backup had been going for 3-4 hours it would reset itself and start all over again! In other words the progress bar got 50% of the way through and then went back to 0%. This was obviously extremely annoying, and prompted me to stop the process, reformat the backup drive and search for some more answers in the internet.
    After a full Saturday of fluffing around, calling my friend who has Time Machine working OK and watching the little blue bar creep along at speeds like 1.5MB/s (according to activity monitor) I finally managed to get it to work!
    I've summarised what I did below:
    _Formatting your Time Machine drive_
    In the Disk Utility, select the drive and choose “Partition”
    Press the “Options…” button.
    Use "Apple Partition Map" partition scheme if the disk will be used with Time Machine and a PowerPC-based Mac.
    Use "GUID" partition scheme if the disk will be used with Time Machine and a Intel-based Mac.
    The following links are worth a look:

    http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/apple/leopard-disk-utility-format-issue-screws-with-t ime-machine-but-theres-an-easy-fix-316573.php
    _Spotlight may interfere_
    Turn off indexing for Spotlight on the Time Machine drive
    In the Spotlight control panel
    Click the privacy button
    Click the + button and choose your Time Machine backup drive
    This will mean that Spotlight will not try to index the drive while the backup is happening.
    _Excluding files_
    In the Time Machine Control Panel
    Click Options…
    Do not back up:
    Press the + button and choose the system folder
    Choose “Excluded all system files “ in the dialogue box that comes up.
    See the following link for more info on this step:
    http://www.macinstruct.com/node/234
    I’ve also heard that *turning off 3rd party antivirus software* may also help (if you have any – I don’t)

    Are you running it over wireless or ethernet?
    We particularly advise initial backup to be done over ethernet otherwise the job has this tendency not to finish. The fact is wireless has errors.. and error correction doesn't work very well during the initial copying.. TM does a verify of the backup once it finishes.. I think this is the 5sec mark.. and keeps building as it discovers files that don't match. It can also be spotlight indexing.  What it is doing is good.. doing it over wireless is very bad. It has to read both sides.. then compare then decide if there is a corruption to copy the file again.. then compare again.
    It can also be a file is actually corrupt on the source disk.
    My inclination is to kill it. Even if you have to restart from scratch.. over ethernet it copies at about 60GB an hour.. it should complete overnight with hours to spare.
    Do a verify of the source disk before you start. And load in widget to get actual log messages from TM.
    See A1 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Pondini also has some stuff about backups taking far too long.
    See D section in reference above.. also how to cancel a TM backup. (other than turn it off).

  • Time Machine will not complete initial backup

    I reformatted my external LaCie USB 2.0 drive 2X now (even zeroing once and set partition map to GUID) and TM gets hung on the initial backup. I'm on my third try now, and it gets hung each time at exactly 62.3G. mdworker keeps running 98% CPU power also. This seems strange, because I have the backup drive selected in Spotlight's Privacy window not to index the drive, but it seems it keeps trying. Anyone have a clue to what's going on? I'm ready to go back to SuperDuper for backups.

    Having EXACTLY the same problem with one macbook.. nothing special in any way about this one at all.. the 10.5 was a clean install and all updates are installed (10.5.2), no special characters, no disk errors, no permission errors, no volume errors, no fsck errors.. removed and rebuilt indexes, tried several different FW drives, reformatted FW drives, tried a USB drive, tried everything I could think of..
    no deal.
    I get an error on copying a single file right before the error 11.. but these are different random files and those specific files appear OK otherwise. (ive tried this about 30 times now)
    I also (sometimes) get an kernel I/O error on the disk1s2 (the fw drive) but there is nothing wrong with it.. and since i've tried three different ones.. and I am able to run a bu from another machine to these drives.
    come on apple engineers... give us an answer !

  • Time machine will not perform initial backup

    Hey,
    time machine is not performing my initial backup, this is the error it gives
    http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/6425/screenshot20100419at522.png
    The error shows up anywhere from the first few megs to the first few gigs during the backup (and the backup is incredablly slow, I don't know why...(not like the apple videos where it goes 0.5gigs/s))
    It is the second partition on a 1TB USB drive.
    I tried several formats (pretty much everything in disk utilities).
    How do I fix this?
    Thanks

    Shoot, my partition scheme is MBR and not GUID or Apple....
    Is there anyway to fix this without wiping the entire harddrive (I don't have enough storage in everything that I have to store stuff to backup this entire harddrive (at least 10 years worth of stuff))
    It's risky. iPartition, and perhaps some other 3rd-party apps, claims to be able to change formats and/or the partition map without erasing, but they very prominently recommend backing the drive up first. And it costs about half what a new HD will.
    If the things in the other partition aren't backed-up some other way, your best bet might be to get a larger internal HD, so you can keep all your originals on it, and reformat the external and let TM start over.
    Or, get a second drive, and let it back up both your internal HD and the current external.

  • Time Machine locking up on initial backup

    I'm running TM on a G5 XServe, backing up networked student folders. It was working at the beginning of the year, however it has been giving me trouble lately. TM is backing up to a 1TB iSCSI networked SAN unit. Over Xmas, the SAN lost two hard drives and crashed. This is when the trouble started.
    We rebuilt the SAN unit and I got another 1TB iSCSI drive configured for TM. Three times I've tried to get it running and it'll always crash on the second backup (one hour after the initial backup).
    This last time the initial backup was pretty big (462GB I think) and it crashed on the second backup an hour later. But there shouldn't have been any new data as that second backup was at 12:13 a.m. (nobody around).
    Any ideas as to why TM wants to crash?
    Thanks

    This message was last after three UUID's don't match for all three internal drives (but that supposed to be normal for a first backup).
    Correct. So is the "deep traversal" message. Since TM isn't sure what's on the disks with the UUID problems, it has to do the deep traversal, comparing every directory (folder) on your system with it's backups. That is, of course, a lengthy procedure, and the message is not an error message -- it's just to let you know the Preparing phase will be a long one. See #7 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum, for details.

  • Time Machine restore failing after 08 MacBook Pro updated to Maverick.

    I have a 2.53GHz processor intel core 2 duo. 4GB 1067MHz DDR3 MacBook pro, circa 2008, and running Lion since 2012.
    I have been backing up using a 1TB time capsule for the last 2 years.
    Now I have just had a clean install to Maverick OSX10.9.5, but cannot see any files in the time machine pre-dating the install.
    when I enter the time machine, the date bar on the right shows all the old backup dates, and will 'scoot' back to them, but all the finder window images are black, and will not populate with any data at all.
    I've tried restoring from applications - that doesn't work either.
    I have tried using the migration assistant and that doesn't see any HD prior to the clean install.
    its bugging and worrying me (lost baby photos drama)
    notebook to notebook migration help page says something about the source OS needing to be Mountain lion or newer, but does this apply to time machine back ups as well?
    I didn't have this information prior to the update. boo.
    can anyone shed some light for me?

    While in Time Machine, press the key combination shift-command-C. The front window will show all mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and navigate to the files you want to restore.

  • How come TM won't backup anymore after initial backup?

    I had the same problem as some other people where the initial back up took about 12 hours. However, now I'm facing a new problem where TM just prepares for 2hours (still going) and won't backup any of the new stuff. What's the point of going into the TM and you can't even go back in time because all I have is the "Today" screen? Does anybody know how I can get TM to keep backing up my stuff consistently?

    UPDATE: After quite a few attempts, I concluded there is an issue in SL with TM backups to a password protected Airport Disk, so I reverted to using the Airport password.
    What was odd during all of this is that when I was using a disk password, I could mount the disk (and the sparse images) from both my iMac and my UMBP, and TM would work from the UMBP but not the iMac. This was despite my deleting the TM plist, restarting, disconnecting the disk from the Airport extreme.
    When I reverted back to using the Airport password, I did it from the iMac. TM then worked fine from there, but not the UMBP. It took a combination of restarts, selecting None as the TM disk, and I don't remember what else to get the UMBP backing up again.
    So, in my case at least, the Mac that changed the PW type worked fine, the other one either never worked or required hoops to work. Other than that, kind of lost, but I do have it working at least.

  • Time Machine Backup fails after Restore

    Had my 500GB HD on my iMac fail. After being replaced by Apple, I performed a restore from 1TB time machine backup. After this was done, I set time machine back up to back up to this 1TB drive. I want it to append to the previous backups. However, the backup fails due to "backup is too large for the backup volume". It doesn't seem to want to append to previous backups but thinks this is an entirely new backup, which I guess is mostly true. I suspect this has to do with UUIDs of the new and old drives, but I'm not sure how to correct it (I'd prefer not to just wipe the backup disk and start over). I migrated backups before from one extenal HD to another but can't remember what I did... If anyone has steps to fix this, let me know em. Thanks.
    Here's the time machine log:
    Starting standard backup
    Backing up to: /Volumes/MyBook-Mac/Backups.backupdb
    Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Macintosh HD
    Node requires deep traversal:/ reason:kFSEDBEventFlagMustScanSubDirs|

    yes, that's correct. TM will make a full backup after a full system restore on a new hard drive because the UUIDs of the new drive is different from the old one.
    you may try the following hack to get around it
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090213071015789
    But I make no promises about how well it works.

  • Time Machine spends hours partially backing up and then fails with "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup due to a network problem."  Tried suggestions I've seen on the forum.

    Time Machine spends hours partially backing up and then fails with "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup due to a network problem."  I've tried various suggestions I've seen on the forum but nothing has worked.  TIme Machine worked fine for the last two years and just suddenly started having this problem every time.  The only thing that was a little different is that the computer was off for a week while on vacation and then I added a large amount (20 GB) of photos. Now the requested backup size is 82GB, which is large, and process proceeds very slowly for 2-3 hours before failing with the message mentioned.  I have more than enough available backup storage space for it.  Before failing, Time Machine has backed up no more than 12GB or so of the backup.  It fails during different files each time.
    I've turned off the computer sleep feature, and I've checked that the NAS is set to never automatically power down. I normally backup over Wi-Fi, but I've also tried connecting to Ethernet and it still has the same problem.  It's odd because I also have a MacBook Pro that is still backing up fine to the same NAS using the MacBook's Time Machine. 
    I am using an iMac with OS X 10.6.8 and an Iomega StorCenter ix2-200 NAS.
    I have system logs that I can share if helpful.  The logged messages vary a bit from run to run, but here are some messages that I've been seeing:
    I always get this message near the beginning of the backup:
    Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Macintosh HD
    I've gotten this messsage a number of times:
    Bulk setting Spotlight attributes failed.

    That looks like a problem was found with the file system (data) on the TM disk.  I don't know the details, but OSX tried to recover it from the journal, and found extra data on the drive.    Likely a result of the incompatibility mentioned above.

    Something caused a disconnect.  Can't tell from the log what it was.
    I doubt it's a problem with something in OSX being damaged or corrupted, but reinstalling OSX isn't a major hassle, so might be worth a try.
    To be incompatible with Snow Leopard, this NAS must be at least a couple of years old.  It may be beginning to fail.
    Contact the maker.  See if there's an update to make it compatible with Snow Leopard.  If so, that might fix it.
    If not, or if that doesn't fix it, see if they have any diagnostics that will shed any light.

  • Backup fail on Time Machine and My Passport for Mac on Yosemite

    Cannot seem to get Time Machine to do a full backup of my NEW My Passport for Mac.
    I've:
    - Updated firmware on WD external drive (and formatted correctly for Apple)
    - Updated to latest IOS 10.10.3 (Yosemite)
    - Verified and repaired Mac HD via iOS Disk Utility and the WD Drive Utility (no issues found on either)
    Error message continues to be "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to My Passport for Mac. An error occurred while copying files. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk."
    I'm backing up about 250 GB and have done this numerous times on my Passport for Mac. Everything SEEMS to be fine during backup, until after about 2-3 hours, into a 4-hour backup, the error message appears without any error codes.
    Does anyone have any input?  I don't think it is on the WD side.  Anyone know if there an issue with Time Machine and this external drive?  Help!
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Hi Linc,

  • Since I installed Yosemite, Time Machine is not doing any backup. It just keep coming with the following message in a window: "Backup Failed. Time Machine could´t back up to "....... Time Capsule". What can I do start backing up again?

    Time Machine not working since Yosemite was installed.

    I had this issue too and went through all the great suggestion found on this site, but finally was able to resolve it after looking at the system.log to see the reason it was failing.  By using terminal and entering:
    sudo grep backupd /var/log/system.log
    I saw "Backup failed with error:11".   Then looking above, I saw many "Error:  (-36) SrcErr:YES /Applications/" messages.  After "Applications" I saw the culprit files that were causing Time Machine to fail.  I deleted some Apps that I didn't need and found Time Machine would get farther than before.  I then looked at the system.log  again and saw it failing on the remaining Apps.  I was able to use Time Machine to restore these App directories from a couple months ago before the Time Machine was failing.  Now the problem is resolved.  Whew! It seemed to be choking on corrupt files and these can be corrected by restoring earlier ones that were not corrupted.
    Well, I thought I should share this with others that may have run into the same issue so they can save time.  Hope it helps!
