Time Machine can't complete backups after upgrading to Yosemite

I use Time Machine to backup my 500GB MacBook Pro and a 500GB external HD to a 1TB Time Capsule (the laptop and external HD are no where near full). It worked fine until I upgraded my computer to Yosemite. Now I'm get an error message, "Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to “Time Capsule'. The backup disk needs 425.12 GB for the backup but only 134.74 GB are available. Select a larger backup disk or make the backup smaller by excluding files."
How do I get Time Machine working again (without having to exclude files, of course)? Is there a better way then just wiping out the content of the Time Capsule ad backing up from scratch? Thanks!

  • Time Machine deleted all my backups after upgrading to Yosemite!!!! Help!!!!

    Hi all! I'm in deep, deep trouble!! I was on Lion, and had all my backups on an external hard drive done by the Time Machine.
    So after I did a clean install to upgrading to Yosemite. So I was left with my Imac with nothing on it, Yosemite, and the applications that I've been installing manually.
    However, Time Machine starting backing again my Imac with Yosemite, and decided to delete ALL BACKUPS of when I was with Lion!!!
    Now I'm only have my new Backups(3 days old), and ALL MY WORK IS GONE!! (About 1TB of precised organised info!!!)
    I tried a software called Data Recovery and whilst is recovering only a 50% of all deleted data after a scanning, now its retrieving that info with new names i.e. 0001,0002,0003 and organising depending on name of extension i.e: PDF,JPEG...therefore becoming totally useless as it will take literally YEARS to put it back the way it was.
    Please HELP, I don't know what to do!!!
    My profesional life is depending on it!!
    iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

  • Time machine can't open backups after installing Mavericks

    When upgrading to Mavericks the installation failed with a disk error. In the shop they formated the disk and re-installed 10.6.8. It appear that there was nothing wrong with the disk anyway.
    Of course formatting caused me to loose all data, but I had made a new Timemachine backup before the installation.
    Getting the computer back with old OS and empty I called to ask which should be the order of the following:
    1. Upgrade to Mavericks
    2. Restore my data from Timemachine
    Advice was the above so this morning I upgraded successfully to Mavericks. However when I would like restore data (after a few issues making the Mac see the external backup disk) it appears thet Timemachine cannot open the backups older than this morning. It can see then on the right side of the screen, though. Can anyone tell me how to access these backups made under 10.6.8, please.
    Another challenge will be that iPhoto does not seem to exist anymore. So if the Timemachine backup gets to work, to where would I restore photos?
    Kind regards
    Morten

    Explanation is that Time Machine created a "new" backup when backup disk was first time connected after migration to Mavericks. This backup was obviously empty, i.e. only containing Mavericks but no user data. Consequently Migration assistant would find no data to migrate.
    Solution was to go to Backups.backupdb on the external disk (in Finder)  and manually delete the backups created after the migration to Mavericks. Now the Migration assistant saw the backup I created just before the initial failed migration to Mavericks and could succesfully migrate all my data.
    I guess you should be VERY careful with what you do manually on the backup disk, but I was out of options and the advice from the local shop worked.

  • Time machine issue: always full backup after upgrade to Mavericks

    I just upgraded to OS X Mavericks - since then, each Time Machine backup is a full back (Instead of just backing up the differential between backups) - I couldnt find the answer on the web, pls help! Thanks

    You say you think indexing is now done. Is that because everything else seems to be working with no delays?
    Because you said "The CPUs stayed maxed and machine hot for about 3 more hours." That sound like it was done indexing your internal HD.
    To be sure, look at the Spotlight index at the right of your menubar.  If it has a tiny dot inside it, it's indexing something.  Click it to see what.  If not, it's caught up.
    Oddly, the indexing of your backups may or may not appear there.
    And when you say leave it for awhile, are you thinking more like 4 hours? or more like maybe 20 hours?
    It depends on how large your backups are, and how you're connected.  Ethernet will be faster than WiFI, of course, but will still take a while.  The indexing may be done at the beginning of the backup, during it, or after it seems to be done (if the backup says it's done, but it doesn't eject the Time Machine Backups disk image, it's probably still being indexed).
    I'd guess a few hours, again depending on how large your backups are.
    At what point should I give up on it?
    When you run out of patience?

  • In Time Machine "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while completing the backup folder

    Time machine fails to complete backup

    I've been getting the Unable to Complete Backup error message for several days.  Last good back up was 11-22-13 at 11:13PM.  I am running an iMac with OS-X 10.7.5.
    I did the above steps in Console and got a huge string of lines; I tried to edit all repeitious ones that were the same, but still ended up with a lot of lines that seemed to develop more different processes over a few days.  Sorry to put all this stuff in here, but I don't honestly know what to make of all of this code language.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

  • WEIRD "Time Machine could not complete Backup" error

    So this started back in Leopard 10.5.
    I used Time machine once and didn't like it so I turned it off and unhooked the external drive.
    Ever since that time, I get a Time Machine could not complete Backup error window that pops up every  2 hours or so it seems.
    I updated to Snow Leopard and still got this problem all the way up to 10.6.8.
    I have now updated to Lion and I STILL get this stupid annoying error.
    My TM is OFF and there are no drives selected anywhere.
    What should I do ?

    Very true, I didn't even tink about that... but.....
    I did have TimeMachineEditor but it was already set to OFF.
    I also had another program (Time Machine Scheduler) that was also set to off.
    ****, I would have loved it to be that !!!

    Do you understand this error message?  Time machine could not complete backup because it says a (filename).sparesbundle is already is in use.
    What is the sparsebundle extension?

  • HT3275 I received this message and I'm unsure how to fix it "Time Machine couldn't complete backup to Time Capsule the backup disk image"/Volumes/The Vision Board/Alex Parry.sparsebundle" is already in use

    I received this message and I'm unsure how to fix it "Time Machine couldn't complete backup to Time Capsule the backup disk image“/Volumes/The Vision Board/Alex Parry.sparsebundle” is already in use

    Look at the more like this on the right column of the web page.
    This is the most common error here.. we answer it 5-10times every day.
    Simple method.. pull out the TC power cord .. count to 10.. plug in the TC power cord.
    Look at the other references for more info.

  • HT3275 Have OS 10.7.5. Computer off three days and now message comes that Time Machine could not complete backup because the "/volumes/PH's timecapsulPro.sparsebundle" is already in use. Whats that about?

    Have OS 10.7.5. Computer off three days and now message comes that Time Machine could not complete backup because the "/volumes/PH's timecapsulPro.sparsebundle" is already in use. Whats that about?

    Two Solutions for "sparse bundle already in use" Error
    Simple solution (from Bob Timmons):
    1. Make sure that no other Macs are backing up the Time Capsule at the time
    2. Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
    3. Count to ten
    4. Plug the power cord back into the back of the Time Capsule
    If Simple doesn't work:
    The Backup disk image ... sparsebundle ... is already in use.

  • Time Machine does not complete backup to Time Capsule

    Within the past few days my iMac will not complete a backup to my Time Capsule.   The two other computers connected to the Time Capsule appear to be backing up but they size of the backup is smaller.   The Time Machine starts but then stops after 10 or so minutes.   Also, the size of the to backup is ver large, and I have not added that much to my files since the last complete backup.
    Here is what I tried:
    1. Deleting the com/apple/Timecapsule.plist file and restarting the Time Capsule.
    2. turning off WIFI and connecting to an ethernet cable
    3. Verifying the disk (when connected to with the ethernet cable)
    Nothing worked although Deleting the com/apple/Timecapsule.plist file and restarting the Time Capsule it got about 50% through before crapping out.
    Appreciate any ideas.
    Thanks

    What OS is the computer running? Expect issues with Yosemite.. it is just not that reliable.
    How much space does it require and how much is available on the TC?
    What speed is the backup doing? If it is super slow it can trip out.
    You did the right things, using ethernet and verifying the old backup.. But if you upgraded to Yosemite (upgraded??) then I strongly recommend you start a completely new backup.
    Did you load the widget so you can actually check the log info.. to find out why TM stopped??
    A1 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    It is hard to fix issues when you don't even know what the issue is.

  • Time machine will not complete backup.

    Time Machine will not complete back-up - 3TB back-up is full and time machine will not automatically delete oldest back-up.

    This happens from time to time. You will need to step in and decide what to do.. Delete manually.. a very slow and fraught process.. or you have to take more severe action.. eg archive off the old backups and start again. You will need a 3TB USB drive to do it.. but IMHO is well worth it. Assuming you need all that history. You can then simply do a quick erase from Airport Utility which takes a minute or two and do a fresh backup.
    Try to eliminate files that are not necessary to backup.. eg the worst is any virtual disk for parallels or bootcamp.. where the slightest change to the smallest file will result in a full backup of the whole virtual disk. You must backup windows etc from inside the OS and not from TM in Mac OS.
    Have you upgraded the computer btw?? I get the feeling that when you upgrade a computer.. say Snow Leopard to Lion to Mountain Lion.. TM has real issues handling the old backups. It is much better to start over.

  • Any way to force Time Machine to use existing backup after inheriting?

    Hi,
    The hard drive in my iMac failed last week, and a replacement drive as well as a new logic board were installed.  I installed OS X onto the new drive and then used Setup Assistant to recover all data from my Time Machine backup.  Of course, once everything was back in place, Time Machine wouldn't recognize the backup as its own (per Pondini's site, this is because the logic board replacement makes Time Machine think it's a whole new computer).
    To resolve this, I issued the Terminal command to inherit a backup, but this wasn't enough so I also issued the command to associate a backup with the computer.  This seemed to work, and I was able to kick off a new backup.  Time Machine did a complete scan and determined that it needed to back up everything on the computer as new.  Because there's not enough space on the Time Capsule, it then started deleting old backups, one after another, until I noticed what was going on and stopped it after a couple hours.
    So my question is this: is there a way to get Time Machine to use the old backup data to do an incremental backup?  I'm not sure why it thinks it has to save everything; I could see it saving a copy of the OS, since that was installed from scratch, but all the user account data has been restored from backup so it should match what's in Time Machine.  If there's no way to do this then I guess I'll just delete the Time Machine archive and start over, but for versioning purposes it would be nice to have the old Time Machine archive data.
    Thanks!

    Thanks Linc.
    What happened is I needed to retrieve something from Time Machine prior to starting a backup (the first backup after restoring everything).  However, Time Machine wouldn't connect to the Time Capsule, so that is why I used the tmutil commands.  Probably if I had instead started a backup then it would have asked me if I wanted to inherit.
    Well, if there's no way to avoid a full copy then I guess I'll delete the archive and start over.
    Thanks again for your help.
