Time machine makes new complete backup sometimes

Anyone knows why Time Machine sometimes makes a complete backup (even if no files have changed)? I'm backing up to a Time Capsule via wifi.

See:
See User Tips for Time Machine for help with TM problems. Also you can select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "time machine" to locate articles on how to use TM. See also Mac 101- Time Machine.

    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.
    Dion G.

    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.

  • 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 !!!

    Look at the more like this on the right column of the web page.

  • 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!

    Hi there The Zach,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps for Time Machine backup issues found in the article below.

  • HT3275 time machine couldn't complete backup

    I have a new iMac, and an older Western Digital Sharespace network backup. I have the mac and NAS attached to the same switch (the router is full). Time Machine will connect to WD_backup, and I use wd_backup as my user ID ,and backup as my password as indicated. It connects, but no matter what I do I constantly get the same error message.
    "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "WDSharespace""
    "The backup disk is not available"
    I am at a complete loss as to why this will not work.  Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    I never use the worst backup of all time myself, but...
    Have you looked through Pondini's extensive TM help site?
    http://Pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html

    Can't imagine something not being covered there.

  • Time machine could not complete backup

    I am getting the following message "the backup disk image "volume/.....macbookpro.sparsebundle." culd not be accessed (error -1)"
    I am backing up to a NAS drobo FS
    have a partitioned time machine drive
    was able to make a complete backup just an hour ago
    but now even though I've restarted the drive and my laptop and I can access the drive and see it on my network, and I can see it when am in time machine but when I go to make a back up I get the same error message no matter what I do
    any thoughts?

    Did you check under More Like This to the right of the page? There are numerous solutions there, like the first one, for example:

  • 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.
    Read up from our most productive expert.. Pondini..

  • HT3275 Time Machine could not complete backup

    Time Machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk image “/Volumes/Gary Curtis's Time Capsule/Mac Pro (2).sparsebundle” is already in use.
    What does that mean?

    Aloha again LaPastenague:
    I too continue to have problems with my TC.  I can always get it back on line, using your receip.  In fact it's pasted on to my monitor.  The problem is it only lasts for awhile, 3 or 4 days, and I have to do it all over again.
    Do you know if Apple is working this problem?

  • Time Machine Could Not Complete Backup due to sparse bundle already in use?

    Please help……my time machine says…..Time machine could not complete back up……The back up disc image "/Volumes/Data/(our name) iMac.sparsebundle" is already in use        Do I need to reset the TC?   Thank you for any help

    Make sure that no other Macs are backing up at the time
    Pull the power cord from the back of the TC
    Count to ten
    Plug the power back into the back of the TC
    Wait a few minutes, then try a backup
