Time Machine Failing - No Warning; Error "Failed to Set Process Label"

Had a total disaster - drive failure and turns out Time Machine *wasn't working!*. I've come to terms with the data loss, but can't figure out how to fix.
backupd keeps giving the error "Failed to Set Process Label". Time Machine's GUI doesn't error, it just doesn't work - it tries to backup, then stops. Manually starting doesn't work.
I've tried on different drives (internal and external); I've checked the MBR (correct), I've searched Google for hours, and only one mention of this error with no help.
Ideas? Please?
Thanks!

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
Do you mean the *Partition Map Scheme* is MBR (Master Boot Record)? If so, that is not correct.
For instructions on setting-up a TM drive, see item #5 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
If you're certain it's set-up correctly, Click here to download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window.
Copy and post them here. A clue should be lurking there.

  • Time machine fails backing up with a "backup disk not found" error after upgrade to Lion 10.7.2

    Time machine fails backing up with a "backup disk not found" error after upgrade to Lion 10.7.2. I've erased and reformatted the drive; reconnected Time Machine(it saw it) and began a new backup. The backup starts again but fails before completing with backup drive not found error. I used the 10.7.2 combo update. Any help on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.

    Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
    After waiting since October for a fix, I have now upgraded the firmware on the Time Capsule and installed the new Airport Utility, released yesterday, and the situation is even worse.
    Up until now, the Airport Utility had an option to disconnect all drives manually and the Time Capsule would then work until the next reboot – a temporary (?) work-around.
    Now that option does not exist in the new-look Airport Utility. And the Airport Utility installation can’t be rolled back and the old utility won’t restore.
    The sparesbundle is still not accessible. Anyone worked out a work-around in the new environment yet?
    I have another Time Machine backup working fine to a trusty old Lacie Drive so erased the one on my Time Capsule to see if that works. I have renamed the Capsule and the Time Capsule Drive.  But to build another full backup will take at least two days and I shall be away from tomorrow and am reluctant to leave the Capsule and computer up and running for a week. And I’ll bet the sparsbundle will still be nowhere to be found.
    How can Apple screw up so badly when they are to become the richest company in the entire world and – soon – will have more cash in the bank than the entire United States? Can’t they afford someone who really can sort this out? Especially when a Firewire connected hard drive – my trusty and simple LaCie – works fine.
    Words, almost, fail me.

  • Why does Time Machine fail to restore and keep the original file after I have provided my Admin password?

    I'm attempting to recover a group of lost files from Time Machine. The files are backups from a mobile app within User/LibraryMobile Documents/.
    I'm able to find the lost files, but Time Machine failed to restore them after I select 'Keep Both' and then enter my Admin Password. The screen returns to the desktop and the finder window for the file I'm trying to recover, but nothing else happens.
    I hope someone can help.

  • Why did Time Machine fail?

    I received the following message when Time Machine stopped working:
    An error occurred while linking files on the backup volume.
    I had to reinstall my OS X (10.5.6) today from the disk because of crashing problems, etc.

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    "Crashing problems, etc." could have caused damage to the data on your TM disk. I'd start by doing a +Repair Disk+ (not permissions) on it via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder.)
    Also, download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget from: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/timemachinebuddy.html. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window. If it fails again, copy and post the messages here (be sure to get them all, as sometimes they overflow the small window).

  • Time Machine fails post 10.10.3 update

    I updated to 10.10.3, and have had repeated Time Machine fails since this occurred.  Time Machine suggests I run Disk Utility and repair the disk.  I did this, and found no problems (with both Verify Disk and Repair Disk options).
    From the Console app, I can filter for "backupd" messages, and get the following related to one of the failed backup sessions:

    This seems to imply it something related to the GOPRO0169.MP4 file.
    Any idea how to get around this problem?  The GOPRO0169.MP4 file seems to be fine, and readable.

    Time Machine Troubleshooting Problems

  • Time Machine fails repeatedly with no problem detected on the external disk

    Since a couple of days, Time Machine fails repeatedly, several times a day. I repair the disk with the Disk utility, that finds no error, then I reset Time Machine as indicated, and after one or two successful backups, it fails again, with the following report given by the Time Machine Buddy widget:
    Starting standard backup
    Backing up to: /Volumes/Copies de sauvegarde Time machine/Backups.backupdb
    Error: (22) setxattr for key:com.apple.backupd.ModelID path:/Volumes/Copies de sauvegarde Time machine/Backups.backupdb/iMac de MM size:8
    Error: (-50) Creating directory 2010-09-22-231449.inProgress
    Failed to make snapshot container.
    Error: (22) setxattr for key:com.apple.backupd.ModelID path:/Volumes/Copies de sauvegarde Time machine/Backups.backupdb/iMac de MM size:8
    Backup failed with error: 2
    I insist, the disk utility doesn't find any problem in the external USB disk. Should I reinstall the OS?
    Thanks a lot for any help!
    Best regards

    The word "événement" has been written not by me, but by the translation.
    Anyway, I'll follow your advice and start with the combo.
    Thans a lot again.

  • Time Machine Fails when VPN is Active

    Running Cisco VPN that allows local access to my 192.168 network with no problem for other applications. However, Time Machine fails to find my local NAS drive when the VPN is active. The NAS and MBP are on the same subnet. Any thoughts or reasons why this is occurring and how to resolve the issue?
    Thanks.

    If you're using the Cisco client built-in to OSX, be sure that "Send all traffic over VPN" is disabled. With the client from Cisco, I think the checkbox is called something like "Allow local LAN access." Be sure that that is enabled.
    Note that this setting can be overridden by the VPN administrator, and often is. (Usually for security or company policy reasons.) So do not be surprised if the checkboxes have no effect for you. If that is the case, then you'll have to speak to the VPN administrator to see if they'll make an exception.

  • Time machine fails on new iMac

    I upgraded to a new 21.5" iMac from a g5 iMac.  I transferred my files and have two external hard drives one with photos and one for time
    (all worked great on the g5). Main programs in use on the g5 is lightroom and iTunes for the iPhone and iPad.    I have been unable to get time machine to work with my files installed. Both the iMac and backup drive have been replaced with no results. When ihave a clean system with my files I have been able to use time machine for two days before it failed at best. 
    Every time time machine fails my system starts to act strange and I am forced to do a wipe and reinstall. Have done a complete wipe and install on the iMac and reformatted the new external drive (have left the photo drive off as I got a failure with out that drive connected).  I have not installed any of my files and so far time machine works.  I suspect some sort of corrupt file. Any suggestions on the next steps? I plan an waiting a few more days on the backups just to be sure they work without my files or programs installed.

    Is there any software that can detect corrupt files? Disk utilities says all drives are fine.
    Not really. 
    Disk Utility (and other similar apps) check the File System on the disk (the various directories, catalogs, etc., for completeness and consistency, not the internal layout of each file.
    Since different kinds of files have different data layouts, and no central registry of the rules,  there's no realistic way to check all the possibilities.
    Unlike most backup apps, Time Machine does index them, however, and in the process sometimes finds problems.  If there's a serious problem, it normally sends a message naming the file, then fails, so you can exclude the file from being backed-up, fix it, or delete it.
    Considering the symptoms you're seeing, it's likely either an intermittent hardware problem, or something you dragged from your G5 was already damaged, or damaged in the process, or came from a different OS (like Windoze) and didn't get translated properly.   Since you get no messages, it's going to be very tedious to narrow it down.
    From your previous post:
    Both a capture program from apple tech and send to apple via about this Mac (system profiler) would not work.
    Do you mean they wouldn't run properly, or you sent them to Apple and they either haven't responded or said they couldn't find anything?

  • Every time I try to back up my Macbook Pro with an external hard drive using Time Machine, I receive the error of "the disk does not have enough space". I have a 500GB hard drive and only 120GB Macbook. It worked fine before the latest Maverick's

    Every time I try to back up my Macbook Pro with an external hard drive using Time Machine, I receive the error of "the disk does not have enough space". I have a 500GB external hard drive and only 120GB Macbook. It worked fine before the latest Maverick's update. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    My guess would be it has created an entirely new backup of your drive when you upgraded to Mavericks.

  • HT1338 Error preparing Time Machine backup disc- size error usually not being multiples of 512, encryption

    Trying to encrypt Time Machine backup disc getting message  - Error preparing Time Machine backup disc- size error usually not being multiples of 512, encryption.

    I got the same problem.
    But I think it cannot be related to not being a multiple of 512.
    As when I devide the number of bytes 3.000.592.982.016 by 512 is equals 5860533168.
    3.000.592.982.016 / 512 = 5860533168.
    So what could be the real problem?
    With kind Regards
