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?

Welcome to the Apple forums:
That last line is the problem AFAICS; you are trying to backup a file or folder that you do not own. "UUIDs don't match..."
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 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

    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 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 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 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.

    Reboot the TC.. it sometimes gets lost on the network.. are you still actually using 10.6.8 as the problem is more prevalent on Lion and ML it seems is no better.
    You might find reset of the TC is needed. change the names to short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.
    Reset the TM to the new name.. use the A4 in Pondini's great KB.

  • Time Machine Error Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while ...

    Hi,
    I've looked all around the forums for the answer to this one and I'm still unable to get it. So I'm getting this error "Time Machine Error Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while linking files on the backup volume". This started happening after I turned off and on FileVault. I was having a problem with it and turning it on an off got rid of that problem, but created this one. I've noticed that when I shut down the computer and filevault accesses the TM hard drive, it can back up.....but then when I'm logged on, or I want it to back up I get the error. I've tried fixing the drive, removing the in progress file and resetting the PRAM (i think that's what it was called). I'm starting to run out of options and have no other drive to back all this info on to reformat it.
    I really don't want to loose all my stuff.
    Please help!

    Usually this message happens when you replace an external disk that was being backed-up by Time Machine with another one of the same name.
    Since File Vault works by making a sparse image of your home folder, and it's treated as a volume just as a HD is, that's probably what's happening here: the new sparse image has the same name as the old one, but isn't the old one.
    First, consider whether you really need File Vault. It doesn't work well with Time Machine: you can't see or restore individual items in your home folder, and it only gets backed-up when you log out.
    If you have a lot of other things, say photos, videos, and/or music that don't need to be encrypted, perhaps there's an easier way to secure our sensitive data. You can create an encrypted disk image via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder), then copy the sensitive documents into it. Then the rest of your home folder is backed-up normally, and individual items can be viewed and restored in the usual fashion.
    But if you do continue using FileVault, you may have to use TM to delete all backups of it, via the instructions in item #12 of the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum. That should then allow the new version of your encrypted home folder to be backed-up by TM.

    You can't repair a network volume in Disk Utility.
    Backing up to a third-party NAS with Time Machine is risky, and unacceptably risky if it's your only backup. I know this isn't the answer you want, and I also know that the manufacturer says the device will work with Time Machine, and that it usually seems to work. Except when you try to restore, and find that you can't.
    If you want network backup with Time Machine, use as the destination either an Apple Time Capsule or an external hard drive connected to another Mac or to an 802.11ac AirPort base station. Only the 802.11ac base stations support Time Machine, not any older model.
    If you're determined to keep using the NAS for backup, your only recourse for any problems that result is to the manufacturer (which will blame Apple.)

  • Error Warning that Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to disk, an error occurred while copying files.

    I've been getting this warning on my MBA for the last week: "Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to “LaCie-2big-NAS.” an error occurred while copying files. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, us Disk Utility to repair your backup disk."
    I have MBA and iMac, both running Maverick (10.9.4), backed up to LaCie NAS. However, when I go to Disk Utility on the MBA and the iMac, the LaCie does not appear and thus can't be selected to run repair. The iMac seems to be backing up to LaCie without problem. And even seems that MBA is backing up sometimes; when I check Time Machine, I can find files added in the last couple of days.
    Is this a real problem? What's fix?

    ☞ 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.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. 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 (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
    If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the search box.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

  • Time Machine Error: Unable to complete backup. An error ocurred while copy

    Hi.
    Everytime Time Machine tries to update my backup copy is gives me the same error: "Unable to complete backup. An error ocurred while copying files to the backup volume."
    What's going on and how can I solve this?
    Thanks.

    I have had this problem and solved it. It began when I upgraded to Snow Leopard server after a hard drive failure under Leopard Server. My problem was caused by a number of bad files.
    To locate the files that are stopping the backup, open the Console utility in the Utilities folder. On the top left, show the Log List, and select the ALL Messages. Then in the search box, top right, enter .backup , this will locate all the backup logs. Go to the bottom of the log and locate the log that reads "stopping backup." Then, look at the log directly after "stopping backup," this log should contain the error message. In my case the log had an error -41, and the file path and name were listed. After locating and removing the bad file, run your backup again. If you have this problem again, repeat this process.
    I had about 15 files with this problem, and oddly they all came from either a very old Mac OS X backup or had been moved from a Window XP computer using file sharing.
    Hope this helps.
