Time Machine Error Error: (-8062)
I am having trouble backing up to Time Machine. I'd be grateful for any help. When backing up to time machine I get the message: "An error occurred while copying files. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk." Time Machine Buddy shows this log:

Then a Finder window pops up with the backup directory in it.

Constant errors from Time Machine with error code 36 and 8062
Hi chaps,
I have trawled the internet and spent a huge amount of time on this problem and can't seem to fix it.
This is the first backup on to a brand new external USB hard disk, formatted correctly.
It starts the backup fine and then stops and a random point normally before 5GB with the same error every time but on different files.
First it was failing on garageband so I excluded that, then it failed on a strange pdf that I can't find in User Templates which I excluded with no joy.
I've turned off spotlight for the external disk and tried several different formats, again with no success.
It first errors with 36 and then after 8062
Can any suggest what is going on please?Japtastic wrote:

Are you certain? That's the most common cause of initial backups failing on a new disk (since most new disks come set up for Windoze), and has exactly your symptoms. See #C1 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum, and/or this Apple article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1550?viewlocale=en_US

Are you getting the messages shown in #C3 of the Troubleshooting Tip?

External Hard drive/Time Machine backup error message
On a sidenote, I posted a question a week ago about what external hard drive would be compatible with my Macbook, and I so happened to get a WD My Passport Studio hard drive as an unsuspecting gift, so I didn't have to buy one.
Anyways, I started the backup on this hard drive and I had an error message: "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume." I searched this on the Apple Support Communities and found that I wasn't the only one who had this problem. So, I came upon one discussion that suggested downloading Time Machine Buddy (link:http://pondini.org/TM/A1.html) (link that prompted me to download: http://pondini.org/TM/C3.html). I downloaded it and found out that the error was occurring in my Library folder, specifically in the folder entitled "db" in the "Receipts" folder. There's one file in the "db" folder entitled "a.receiptdb" <----can someone please explain what the heck this is??? Lol. Anyways, I decided to exclude the whole "Receipts" folder from being backed up and now my external hard drive is backing up my files fine. My MAIN question is this: What is wrong with my receipts folder that is causing the error?
P.S. here are the error messages in the Time Machine Buddy log:
Error: (-36) SrcErr:YES Copying /Library/Receipts/db/a.receiptdb to (null)

As you can see, iy is located in the "db" folder. I have no idea what's wrong. Thank you for your time! It is MUCH appreciated.The connection to 10.6.7 may just be a coincidence. I had a similar problem with a disk and was about to throw it out but decided to try a different USB cable. That fixed the problem and the drive is still in use.
Try a new cable if you have not already done so.

I have the same problem with Time Machine failing on the same database file. I believe it's more linked to the size of the file rather that on a corruption of it. I ran the repair tool of Microsoft (ou just need to depress the option key while starting the application) and the file is fine.
On my mac the file is 5 GB and I strongly believe that backinp up such a large file on a network filesystem like my Time capsule it's a challenge.
Any comment on that ? What is the maximum file size that the backupd procee can handle safely ?
Regards

Time machine backups are failing. I've followed the instructions I found on the Time Machine troubleshooting page (http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html) but have gotten to where I don't know what to do next.
Sequence of events:
The main error message is always:
An error occurred while copying files. The problem could be temporary. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk.
Yesterday, I opened Disk Utility and verified the disk. Got this error:
Error: This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD. Restart your computer, holding down the Command key and the R key until you see the Apple logo. When the OS X Utilities window appears, choose Disk Utility.
I ran Disk Utility and repaired the hard drive. Then I manually started the backup before going to bed, figuring it was going to take a long time to run. When I got up this morning, the backup had failed with the same "could be temporary" error. I checked the log, which says:

Does anyone know what the problem is here and what I should do?
Thanks,
TeryYou have repaired your boot drive (which is good) but have you repaired your time machine drive? I don't own a Time Capsule so I don't know if disk utility can operate on it. If it can, you should repair it as well. You may need to erase it and start a new backup. That happens to time machine volumes from time to time and is why people who are serious about their data never rely on a single source of backup.

I'm having problems with my Time Machine drive. (Note: this may be a hardware issue, rather than a software one.)
Time Machine backups have stopped, and the system won't recognize the Time Machine drive.
Disk Utility does recognize the drive. verify yields the following:
Verifying volume “TimeMachine”
Checking journaled HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Incorrect block count for file objects.nib
(It should be 736 instead of 1)
Invalid catalog record type
Volume check failed.
Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.
Any hints what to do next. I booted from my install disk, which is OSX 10.3.5. I'm running OSX 10.5.7, and I don't want to revert to 10.3.5. (the install disk seems to want to install its OS.)
Any hints what to do?
Any diagnostics?
I'm willing to erase the Time Machine drive if that will help.
Thanks.stirling-dad wrote:
Thanks for the reply. OK, I need to buy a new hard drive, sigh. Five questions:
1. Is there any reason to get a FireWire drive? My current and failed TimeMachine drive was USB.
Most folks here would say that F/W is faster, even though the rated speed is about the same. You'll get more throughput because the F/W chipset does a lot of the work that must be done by the CPU for USB. F/W also seems to be more reliable. I've got a Seagate, partly on reputation and reviews, but also because it had a 5-year warranty.
2. What should the capacity of the new drive be? My current TimeMachine volume has a capacity of 232 GB with the main volume having a capacity of 149GB with 81GB used. The TimeMachine drive (when it worked) never came close to capacity.
2-3 times the capacity of what it's backing-up is a rough place to start. If you don't anticipate that 81 gb (assuming "the main volume" means your internal HD) growing significantly, or your habits changing much, you'll be fine. You might want to go somewhat larger, at little cost, and put a 120 gb or so partition on it for a "bootable clone" using CarbonCopyCloner (which I use), SuperDuper!, or the like. There are advantages and disadvantages to clones, as there are for other types of backup apps, so doing both gets you a bit of extra insurance and all the advantages.
3. Do you have any brand suggestions for a new TimeMachine drive?
Most drives from most of the major vendors are pretty good. A few fail early, some seem to live forever. We do see a lot of posts here with problems with Western Digitals, but it's hard to tell if they really fail more than others. And the models change so fast that by the time one seems either very good or very bad, it's out of production anyway! If you think you'll ever want to run a clone, though, check the WD website for the model you're interested in -- many of them are not bootable.
4. Do you have any vendor suggestions of where to buy a new TimeMachine drive? I looked on macconection.com, and prices looked reasonable there.
I got my Seagate from Amazon, but Best Buy, BJ's, and others have good prices, too. If there's a decent local store that seems to have good service, even if their prices are a bit higher, it might be worthwhile buying locally.
5. Do you know when 10.5 became became available? The drives on macconnection.com have a two year warantee. So, it’s possible that when I figure where/when I bought the drive, I could have a refund. Since I can’t erase the drive in it’s current state, however, it’s unlikely that I’ll invoke this option.
No, I don't. 18 months to a couple of years would be my SWAG (Scientific Wild A.s.s. Guess). But the warranty is probably from the date you bought it, anyway.
Good luck! -
Can't restore from Time Machine backup error message
My hard drive on my Macbook failed a few days ago. Just makes a clanking noise and won't boot up etc... I installed a new drive, formatted it, and selected restore from Time Machine backup from the installer screen. It started restoring from my backup I had on an external drive and everything was fine untill it got about 6% done then get a message that says "An error occured when restoring from the backup" It is pretty non descriptive. It also says please restart your system and try again or something to that effect. I tried again, same problem. When I try to copy files over manually I eventually gets some error that says there is a problem with a file and it will quit. Any ideas on how to get my data? I can see all my files on there, but can't get them. My backup disc is just used for backup on this one machine nothing else, so it shouldn't have a problem. Help!
Good to hear MA is doing something!
>I have never had much luck with Time Machine...
Same here, not one good backup or restore, can't tell which.
You can set any of these to Clone/Update as often as you wish...

Time Machine: Repeated errors when backing up for the first time using a new external firewire drive
My Iomega 500GB firewire external drive failed on me last week and I have just replaced it with an identical model. I used to use the old drive with Time Machine on my MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 with no issues, until the drive had a hardware failure and stopped spinning up, hence the replacement.
Two days ago I tried using Time Machine for the first time with the replacement external drive. The backup failed and each subsequent backup attempt has failed since then with a different error each time. The drive cannot be ejected using Finder (Finder says disk is in use and cannot be ejected even when no processes are running except for Finder and Time Machine has been disabled), by dragging it to the dock (hangs computer which can only be fixed by a hard reboot), in Disk Utilities (drive cannot be unmounted) or in Terminal ("no such file or directory").
The first backup attempt failed after 3 hours of "preparing" with the message "The backup was not performed because an error occured while creating backup directory".
I tried repairing the disk in Disk Utilities and Disk Utilities said the drive was OK ("the volume Time Machine Backups appears to be OK"). I tried ejecting the drive (hard reboot of computer and disconnecting the drive), plugging it back in again and trying again.
This time it started backing up, then failed after a few minutes with the message "an error occured while copying files to the backup volume". I had a look at the troubleshooting suggested on http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/C3.html and followed instructions. It failed again, so I did a full reset as per http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/A4.html.
It failed again, so I tried reparing the drive again in Disk Utilities and again it said it was OK. I tried using different cables and ports (Firewire 400 instead of Firewire 800), and backups still fail.
I have turned off anti-virus scanning (Sophos). I have tried excluding it from Spotlight but this causes an error message from Spotlight. I have tried trashing the com.apple.TimeMachine.plist file and rebooting. I have tried selecting deselecting the drive as the back up in Time Machine preferences, selecting "None", then "Stop Backing Up" then quitting preferences, rebooting, disconnecting the drive, reconnecting the drive and selecting the drive again as the backup disk in Time Machine preferences. I have tried erasing the drive completely, rebooting, and trying to back up again.
None of these have worked. This is a brand new drive and I do not want to have to replace it again if I do not have to.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.Hello, some possible clues...
Should you click “Start New Backup”? Not yet! If you see the dialog above, your existing Time Machine backup is corrupt, and you might not be able to recover data from it. But you can save a copy of the corrupt bundle and, perhaps, extract some data from it if needed.
Ask yourself if Time Machine has saved data you might need before deciding what to do next:
If you are sure you won’t need anything backed up before today, click “Start New Backup” and let Time Machine do its thing.
Otherwise, click “Back Up Later” and save a copy before letting Time Machine start a new backup. Just look for a file called “computername.sparsebundle” (for network backups) or “Backups.backupdb” (for local ones) and create a copy with a different name. You can open sparsebundle files with DiskImageMounter and browse them like any other disk. More information is available here.
There you go. If you click “Start New Backup” when you see this dialog box, Time Machine will erase all of your old backup data and start a new bundle. It won’t be corrupt, but it will be empty.
Note that you can manually initiate a Time Machine backup integrity check by option-clicking the “Time Machine” icon in the menu bar and selecting “Verify Backups.”
http://blog.fosketts.net/2010/08/11/time-machine-completed-verification-backups- improve-reliability-time-machine-create-backup/
According to This Time Machine resource “This appears only on Snow Leopard, and started with the Time Capsule Backup Update 1.0 in mid-May of 2010. It also seems to have been included in the 10.6.3 v1.1 update and 10.6.4.”
So, what can you do about it? Grin and bear it, it seems, until Apple fixes it.
One thing you can do to make the backup take less time is to connect your machine to your Time Capsule or other backup drive via Ethernet for the duration of the initial backup.

Time Machine Backup Error. Time machine could not delete the backup disk image .sparsebundle
Time Machine is giving an error message. Time Machine couldnt complete the backup. I am using the Seagate GoFlex Home. Error message states Time Machine could not delete the backup disk image "/volumes/Go Flex Home Backup/iMAc.sparsebundle". Does anybody have any ideas?
I have deleted all files in the Time Machine backup via Windows, Finder, and GoFlex UI.
I think this is your problem.. you need to follow the exact setup from seagate to get TM running again.. please read the manual... I do not have one but I do have another brand of NAS and setting up TM involves a fairly complex set of instructions.. because it is not a native Apple device.. your computer does not recognise it as TM capable.. you need to use the work around the manual will explain. -
I just bought a new 2gb Time Capsule to replace my 3 year old 1gb model. I have 4 Macs that back up to the Time Capsule (3 laptops wirelessly, 1 iMac wired). It is the exact same setup I had with the old Time Capsule. I set up the new Time Capsule without transferring over prior backups.
On my Retina MacBook Pro, I am receiving the error "The identity of the backup disk “MyName” has changed since the previous backup." Some add'l details:
1) The new and old TCs were named the same and no other external drives are plugged into any computers
2) The other 3 computers are properly using the Time Capsule
3) The issue seems to pop up over night, in other words when I have not been using the MBP for a while, but I am not sure that has any bearing on this, just a data point
4) I have deleted the sparsebundle and plist file for the MBP, essentially trying to clear out all remnants
5) I am on Mavericks with all software up to date
6) I have selected and unselected the backup disk several times in System Preferences/Time Machine/Select Disk
I have looked at /volumes/ on both the MBP and my iMac and watched as I run a Time Machine backup. As the TM backup runs, additional volumes appear and then disappear once the process completes:
On the iMac: Volumes named "MyName Time Capsule" and "Time Machine Backups" appear while the process is running, then both disappear once finished.
On the offending MBP: Volumes named "MyName Time Capsule" and "Time Machine Backups" appear while the process is running, then both disappear once finished. However, there is another volume called "MobileBackups" that does NOT go away once finished. I've tried to manually dismount that volume, and when I re-run the Time Machine process it reappears and does not automatically disappear.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance, JohnWell, I am virtually convinced that this is an issue around when the rMBP goes into sleep mode and loses connectivity to my network. I was away from the machine for a couple of hours today, and upon return noticed an exclamation point in the Time Machine icon. The menu indicated "Backup Delayed".
1) When I tried to manually start a backup, after several minutes I received a notice "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "myname". The backup disk is not available. Make sure the backup disk is connected or select a different backup disk."
2) When trying to select the disk in Airport Utility and trying to manually run a backup, after several minutes I received the error "There was a problem connecting to server "myname". Check the server IP address, and then try again. If you continue to have problems, contact your system administrator."
3) I also tried to open the drive via Finder but was unable to connect to the drive.
4) Based on a suggestion from someone, I ran the following Terminal command (see results below):
sudo tail -f /var/log/system.log | grep -i backup
5) Meanwhile, I checked both my iMac as well as my wife's MBA and both had been running Time Machine properly throughout, no errors in the past and no errors today. I manually ran a backup on both the iMac and the MBA and both ran perfectly.
6) I restarted the Time Capsule via the Airport Utility. Upon restart, I was able to successfully manually run a TM backup form my rMBP. I was also able to access the Time Capsule via Finder.
Add'l Notes:
a) I am not losing my network connection in general. I am still able to browse, etc. I am just losing my TC connection apparently.
b) I was using an old Time Capsule with this same laptop for about a month before buying this new Time Capsule. I never once had this issue with the old Time Capsule.
It seems clear to me that upon non-use I am somehow losing connectivity to the Time Capsule. While the issue hasn't happened in over the past 2 nights, it did happen today while I was out running errands. My hypothesis on why it didn't happen the past 2 nights is that there may have been some network activity (ie: receiving an email, receiving an iMessage, etc.) that allowed the rMBP to maintain connectivity.
Any additional ideas with the new info? I will call Apple ASAP, but cannot tonight.
Thanks in advance.

Time machine backup error in Mavericks
I"m getting backup errors in Mavericks when it tries to back up to the Backups.backupdb folder in my 3TB external backup drive. This happens even when I turn Time Machine off!
This is the error I'm getting (taken from the console) when I manually start a time machine backup:
10/26/13 9:56:39.268 AM com.apple.backupd[18160]: Starting manual backup
10/26/13 9:56:40.826 AM com.apple.backupd[18160]: Backing up to /dev/disk2s2: /Volumes/Macbook Pro Backup 3TB/Backups.backupdb
10/26/13 9:56:46.069 AM com.apple.backupd[18160]: Error: (22) setxattr for key:com.apple.backupd.HostUUID path:/Volumes/Macbook Pro Backup 3TB/Backups.backupdb/Macbook Pro 25 size:37
10/26/13 9:56:46.070 AM com.apple.backupd[18160]: Backup failed with error 2: 2
Has anyone seen this? At this point, I haven't been able to back up anything after upgrading to Mavericks, and I really don't want to delete the backup folder and start over.
I thought it might be a permissions problem, so I tried to use the disk utility to verify this. I wasn't able to select verify or repair disk permissions. When I tried to verify the disk, I got a 'Live file system repair is not supported' error. I've never seen this before.
Any thoughts on all of this?I fixed this by hard booting, then repairing the disk. A restart didn't work.

Time machine backup error OS Status error 2
Time machine has been backing up to newly replaced Time Capsule with no Time Machine issues until today.
There have been a few Time Capsule 'amber flashing light' moments, solved with a reset.
But after one such reset this morning, despite the green light being steady, the error message stated in the title above has appeared.
Time capsule is visiblle and properly configured, according to Airport Utility.
On the menu bar, the Tme Machine logo is grey, and states "Time Machine is not configured".
In the Time Machine preferences window, have re set the Time Capsule as the backup disk (several times).
Time Capsule green light is on, and I can hear it whirring into action when I select it as back up disc.
The complete message reads:
Time Machine can’t access the backup disk “(my name) Time Capsule”. Time Machine backup OS status error 2.
I am Running OSX 10.6.7
Time Capsule 1 TB
Less than one month old, and the second time calsule replacement form Apple.
Can anyone please shed any light on this?
Many thanks
