TM fails to Backup certain files - Error: (-41) SrcErr:NO Copying

Hi,
TM fails to backup certain files and I have no idea how to fix it. This is the error log:
Oct 27 23:19:45 Mac com.apple.backupd[1899]: Error: (-41) SrcErr:NO Copying /Users/gretch/Documents/Software/Airfoil 3.2.1/Airfoil.app/Contents/MacOS/Airfoil Video Player.app/Contents/Frameworks/Protein.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/Sparkle. framework/Versions/A/Resources/en.lproj/Sparkle.strings to /Volumes/Time Machine/Backups.backupdb/CiMac/2009-10-27-223307.inProgress/285F31F4-3FD2-40A2- AD5E-DFBF8A42087A/Macintosh HD/Users/gretch/Documents/Software/Airfoil 3.2.1/Airfoil.app/Contents/MacOS/Airfoil Video Player.app/Contents/Frameworks/Protein.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/Sparkle. framework/Versions/A/Resources/en.lproj
I am using a WD external HD with USB and have formatted it correctly according to Apples recommendation: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1550?viewlocale=en_US
If I delete the file that gave an error, next time I backup TM continues to backup successfully until it reaches another file and gives the same error.
I suspect it may have something to do with permissions, but obviously I have repaired the permissions and nothing changes.
Any ideas how to fix this problem?
Thanks
OS 10.6.1

I've had similar problems and would love to know how to resolve this problem...
Previously clients were bound to AD with ADMitMac running 10.5.8 using Time Machine and everything is great for months...
Upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.1 and uninstall ADMitMac and bind the clients to AD using built in Active Directory Plug-in. Everything works great except that Time Machine fails on all three computers which were upgraded. Here's what I've tried to solve the problem:
1) Went into TM preferences and under "Select Disk..." set it to "None" and told TM to "Stop Backing Up" to turn TM off.
2) Went into /Library/Preferences and deleted the com.apple.TimeMachine.plist file.
3) Launched Disk Utility and reformatted the backup drive using a different name and made sure that it was formatted "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
4) When it finished it's format it prompted me to set as Time Machine Backup Disk which I did.
At this point the backup runs backs up about half the drive and then I get the following types of errors in the Time Machine Logs...
Time Machine errors from the current System log (according to TM Error Logger):

No successful backups reported in the current log
I can rule out a couple of different things... This occurs on two MacBook Pros and a MacPro Tower. The MacPro has a second internal drive and the two laptops have external drives connected via FW800. The two laptops are using different models of LaCie drives. So it's not model specific or something related to the type of drives or connections being used.
I've repaired permissions on the source and target drives and run Disk Warrior 4.2 on them as well. I've tried running the time machine backup as a local administrator account in case it was a problem with their mobile user accounts with the same results. After doing the upgrade I had rebuilt the user's mobile accounts and in doing so did a recursive chown (sudo chown -R user:group "user's home folder") so there shouldn't be a permissions issue with these files anyway.
So it's something to do with the data that TM is attempting to copy, but if it's not permissions then what is it? I don't believe that this data just became corrupted all of the sudden as TM was able to backup all this same data under 10.5.8 only hours before the snow leopard upgrade.
My experience with Snow Leopard has been pretty good so far, but I'm seeing some serious inconsistencies with file permissions and I think this is what is causing this problem. I'm guessing it's something to do with ACLs going wonky, but insofar I've been unable to find and fix the problem.

Backup failed with error: 11 -Error: (-41) SrcErr:NO Copying

Like many of you, I was unlucky to get the famous TimeMachine error message: "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk". I started to get as much help as I could from Google and all your forum posts.
Until recently I could not get an easy answer and it seemed that various people had success by:
- renaming their machine to remove say extraneous characters (such as apostrophe)
- delete the last "in progress" backup
- reset the TM
- etc.
I did all of that plus reformatting my new WD HDD but nothing changed. After 2 days of frustration with this piece of software (Time Machine), the good news for me is that I can consistently reproduce the error as well succeed in performing a backup. The solution for me seems to make sure that I +*do not have a source directory structure deeper than 15 levels*+. As soon as I have a file that is 16 levels deep from the root of the HDD that I try to backup, I get this error:
+*Error: (-41) SrcErr:NO Copying /Volumes/<HDD to Backup>/<Deep Directory Structure>... to*+
+*/Volumes/<Your TM Drive>/Backups.backupdb/<Your Machine>/<Timestamp>.inProgress/<AutoGenerated-GUID>/<HDD to Backup>/<Deep Directory Structure>...*+
+*Copy stage failed with error:11*+
+*Backup failed with error: 11*+
The Console app shows the system log with the path to the file that failed during backup. I tried to make the pathname shorter than 255 characters to make sure this is not an 8bit limitation of some string length in the code. Even if I have a path shorter than 255 characters, TM fails with the above error when the source files are at least 16 levels deep in the directory structure.
What is most frustrating about this is not the careless and uninformative error message or this apparently non-sense limitation of 15 levels - it might be something historical in Apple's code - but the lack of documentation. In the absence of proper logging and error handling in this piece of code, wouldn't be nice to have some explanation from Apple with regards to what this error #11 means or perhaps what caused this "Error (-41) SrcErr:NO Copying"? I guess most of us would be just fine to know that as per release notes, Apple has this limitation of 15 levels for the source directory structure.

Regardless if this is a general problem or not, does anyone know of any documentation/release notes for common/generic TM error codes? That would be helpful.
Yeah, many of us would love it! But no such thing exists, at least not that us mere mortals can find.
There might be another variable that I don't understand right now but at least it is consistent.
Could it be something funky in the name of one of the folders? Or could the folder object itself be corrupt? Or have some odd extended attribute?
All I can suggest is calling AppleCare, and/or reporting it as a bug:

Ebook error message: "Fail to write destination file error"

I am attempting to transfer ebooks (checked out via my library's ebook consortium) from Adobe Digital Editions to my Nook. I have done this in the past with no issues, but recently I have been getting the following error message: "Fail to write destination file error".
I know the issue is NOT lack of space on my Nook (I cleared it of all info and still received the error message).

I had this problem as well, and after doing some research via google (because I found NOTHING helpful in adobe forums), I found the problem....my Nook was full. I had no idea this was even possible! But, I borrow a lot of library books, and didn't realize that after they expire, they are still taking up space on my Nook. Here's how to check: plug your Nook into your computer, go to file manager (right-click the start button in Windows), find the Nook drive and right click, choose properties. This should show you a pie chart of used/free space on your Nook. If this is the case, you need to remove some files from your Nook. For me, I had to find the Digital Editions file and delete all the thumbnails and actual files for the library books. If it's booked you've purchased, perhaps you need to archive some books. Hope this helps!

Error: (-36) SrcErr:YES Copying /.journal to (null)

Not a huge concern since TM is still backing up successfully, but I didn't see this specific error in the troubleshooting guide. Maybe I'm a little OCD but when I see any errors in logs I get a bit twitchy.
Anyway, my TM log is:
Starting standard backup

No pre-backup thinning needed: 1.04 GB requested (including padding), 76.87 GB available
*Error: (-36) SrcErr:YES Copying /.journal to (null)*

Starting post-backup thinning
Deleted backup /Volumes/Hades/Backups.backupdb/LJ Eden's G5/2010-03-09-211639: 76.28 GB now available

I guess my question is... or questions are, what does that error mean and how can I make it go away?
Thanks a bunch.
Oh, and if it matters... the volume I'm using as my TM is an external firewire drive.

That's odd. /.journal is a hidden file, and not a standard one on an OSX drive.
Do you have any idea what it is?
You could look at it via #A3 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
As you say, it's not causing the backup to fail, but you can exclude it, per the green box in #C3 of the Troubleshooting Tip.

Bug in Time Machine 10.6 OS X Server, Error: (-41) SrcErr:NO Copying

Hello
It seems there is a bug in Time Machine which never occured in 10.5.8
We had a Mac OS X Server 10.5, with 2 external RAIDs, one with the SharePoints of Data and one as Time Machine Volume. This solution runs soomthly for 1 1/2 year.
Now we updated the OS X server from 10.5.8 to 10.6.4 with a clean install.
Since then it wasn't possible to make a finished BackUp with time machine. It stucks always. In the Console it listed the errors.
example.
19.09.10 11:49:41 com.apple.backupd[14514] Error: (-41) SrcErr:NO Copying /Volumes/RAIDserver HaKa ZH/Server HK/Auftraege in Arbeit/BLESSING/F2010/Lewis_Das_komische_Manifest/Layout_Protokoll/LewisSmilie/alt/K01/alt to /Volumes/HaKa-TM (Drobo)/Backups.backupdb/raidserver/2010-09-18-022427.inProgress/8F2F98D2-2F5E- 4BE0-BD20-971BC9E4E39C/RAIDserver HaKa ZH/Server HK/Auftraege in Arbeit/BLESSING/F2010/Lewis_Das_komische_Manifest/Layout_Protokoll/LewisSmilie/alt/K01
I can manualy delete this file or folder. Then the backup runs till the next error. very often the file involved is the ".DS_Store"
First I deleted my Time Machine Volume and also delete die com.apple.timemachine.plist and make a complete new backup. This also stucks.
Then I exclude the Data Volume and the BackUp of the bootVolume (server) runs fine. On the Data Volume are 4 Sharepoints. Owner is the administror and all the ACL and access-right are the same for the subfolders.
Of these 4 SharePounts, I individually exclude them. 1 runs smoothly with 3 I have problems.
I repaired the drives with DiskUtiliy and DiskWarrior. All errors are repaired but still the backup can't finished
I also tried different issues mentioned in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2057525
I suggest that Time Machine change the way it verify it file to backup. The Backup Volume hasn't change since the update to 10.6 (only some new files)
I am very ****** off that Time Machine does'nt finished the backup and give me a list with all the errors.
Is there a Program that is able to list file with error in the same way Time Machine verify it file.
The last option I have it that is change back from 10.6 to 10.5.
Is there a list with new features and bugs within 10.6.4?
Is their a solution?

Ah, I'd not seen that. ClamXav is free, and about the only one recommended here to find PC viruses so you don't pass them between Windoze machines, as it's not intrusive or damaging to the OS as most other anti-virus products are.
What i hate is that i need to exclude everything which has error. On the Data Volume are hunderd tousands of File (1.8 Tb), it would take me months to sort it out which files/folders occured the errors. I repaired the drives whit different tools and now their are no errors on all drives.
Agreed, there's no point to that. It's doubtful there's really anything wrong with the files. There does appear to be something wrong with the drive or file system, though.
Are you sure the drive is compatible with Snow Leopard? A number of drives that worked fine with Leopard needed new firmware or drivers to work well with Snow Leopard. Check with the maker.
If Apple has no fix in the next 10 days I will switch back to 10.5.8 server (and leave all that buggy new features for other people wo want to be experimental users for the staff of Apple)

Time Machine Fails When Trying to Backup Certain Files

Time Machine is having problems with some files I have copied from a Windows computer. I am a web developer and I moved my client files from a Windows PC to my iMac. Most of the files backup properly but some don't. When Time Machine tries to backup those files, it fails.
I downloaded Time Machine Buddy and it has helped me identify files that can't be backed up. However, the only solution that works is to delete the files. *Since these are client files, that is not an acceptable solution.*
When I look at "Get Info", there are several listings for admin, system, staff, owner, and everyone. Each list shows the permissions to be "Custom." I have changed some to "Read and Write" and I have changed all of them to "Read and Write." Neither of these have fixed the problem. Time Machine still fails on the same files.
I really need some smart Mac person to tell me what I can do to fix this problem. Thanks.

Correct, at no time did I say that this was for everyone, it is in fact for anyone who wishes to spend his time working rather than restoring.
For most folks, a hard drive failure is not exactly common. If they are to you, something is seriously wrong.
Replacing a drive in a unibody MBP is a 5 minute operation! & they are cheap!
Yes, for those who are mechanically inclined and not afraid to open up a Mac. What percentage of users do you suppose that is?
As to your second point, I suggested specifically using a TM type backup in addition to the clone, I stated that my choice is a realtime service that stores my files (a) as files that I can access from anywhere (b) with versions (including deletions) going back as far as my storage limits allow.
And how would you use that to roll back to a previous version of your entire system?
I don't want to have to deal with TM permissions/user/network/extreme/forgetting to delete till it gets full blahblahblah
Huh? Now you're adding all sorts of other things.
Permissions? A user account is a user account, and Time Machine maintains the permissions.
Network? Your clone is on a network? How do you boot up from that?
Extreme? You use an Airport Extreme for your network clone?
Forgetting to delete until it's full? Yes, that's exactly what you mentioned above: "versions (including deletions) going back as far as my storage limits allow."
PleasePondini, do it your way and I'll do it mine
Obviously.

"Extraction Failed: Cannot Open Output File" error message when installing new drivers

Hello, I'm trying to install new drivers for my HP Photosmart C4385 Printer. I downloaded the full feature drivers for Windows XP 32-bit, and when I start to install (extract), I get the error message:
Extraction Failed
Cannot Open Output File
And the process closes. It happens at about 85% extraction every time.
Any idea why? I called HP but since it is out of warranty they wanted money, which I think as absolutely ridiculous - won't even give me basic support?? Poor, poor customer service.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
If you haven't still got the Full Feature software installer, download it from the link below and save it to your Desktop. If you already have it, place it on your Desktop.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software10/COL20274/mp-53147-4/100_228_PS_AIO_02_Full_USW_enu_NB.exe
Make sure the Printer is disconnected from your PC.
Download and install 7-ZIP. Once installed, right click on the software installer for your printer, select 7-Zip and choose extract files, then click Ok.
Open the newly extracted folder and double click the setup application to start the installation ( the setup application will probably have the same icon as the original software installer you downloaded ). Connect the printer to your PC when the software asks.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
DP-K

XMLSocket "Failed to load policy file" error

I am trying to use an XMLSocket.swf file, and it is not connecting. Do I need to open up a port on my server? I am trying to run this on a dedicated remote Windows 2008 server.
Here is the error from FlashFirebug:
     OK: Root-level SWF loaded: file:///C|/Users/vcaadmin/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/70vbx4ys.default/exten sions/flashfirebug%40o%2Dminds.com/chrome/content/flashfirebug.swf

    Error: Request for resource at xmlsocket://speak-tome.com:9997 by requestor from http://speak-tome.com/flash/XMLSocket.swf has failed because the server cannot be reached.
My crossdomain.xml is saved to the root of the web directory and looks like:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">

    <allow-access-from domain="*"/>
    <allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="SOAPAction"/>
    </cross-domain-policy>
I notice that both ports 843 and 9997 are closed for my domain (speak-tome.com - 72.167.253.16) when I check using a service such as yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports. Do I need to get these ports open to get the policy file to work?

As a test, I uploaded my Flash/Gaia site into an existing site on my old host. And although the site actually works in this setting, when I run things in the FlashPlayerDebugger, I'm still getting Security Sandbox Violations - so (as adninjastrator suggested in earlier post), this may have nothing to do with the DNS changes - but perhaps with my setting things up wrong somewhere so that the Flashplayer is trying to access my local computer - maybe??
Debugger logs gives me this:
Error: Failed to load policy file from xmlsocket://127.0.0.1:5800
Error: Request for resource at xmlsocket://127.0.0.1:5800 by requestor from http://recreationofthegods.com/bin/main.swf has failed because the server cannot be reached.
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
So, I've now uploaded the identical bin (which contains all the files for my site) - but I'm getting different behaviors on the two hosts.
On the new holistic servers, the site won't go past the first page: www.yourgods.com
On the 1&1 servers, I still get runtime errors in FlashPlayerDebugger - but the site runs ok - http://www.RecreationOfTheGods.com/bin/index.html
Posting those links in hopes someone with more experience in these sandbox issues can help steer me in the right direction.

DPM failing SQL backups due to error: "the SQL Server instance refused a connection to the protection agent. (ID 30172 Details: Internal error code: 0x80990F85)

I ran across this error starting on 6/4/2011 and have been unable to find the root of the problem. In our environment, we have a DPM 2010 server dedicated to backing up all our SQL envrionment (about 45 SQL Servers total). All of the SQL
environment is backing up fine except for a SQL Cluster Application. This particular SQL Instances is part of a 6 node failover cluster with 6 SQL Instances distributed amongst them. The other 5 SQL instances in the cluster are backing
up fine; only one instance is failing. The DPM Alerts section shows this error when attempting to do a SQL backup of one of the databases on this SQL instance:

I have checked the cluster node this particular SQL instance is running on using Perfmon and the machine is nowhere near capacity on CPU, memory, network, or Disk I/O.  I have failed this SQL Application to another node in the cluster and
receive the same error (this other node has another clustered SQL application on it that is actively running as well as backing up fine). The only thing that I am aware of that has changed is that we installed SP2 for SQL 2008 about 2 weeks prior
to when the failures started to occur. However, we updated all six clustered SQL Instances at the same time and only this one is having this issue so I don't believe that caused the problem. We are running SQL 2008 SP2 (version 10.0.4000.0)
on all clustered instances along with DPM 2010 (version 3.0.7696.0) on this particular DPM server that has the issue.
One last thing, I have also noticed errors in the event log pertaining to the same SQL backups that are failing (but the time stamps are not concurrent with each backup attempt):

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Don't know if this helps or not, but I also noticed another peculiar issue that is derived from this problem. If I go to "Modify protection group", then expand the cluster, then expand all six nodes in the cluster, five of them show "All SQL Servers"
and allow me to expand the SQL Instance and show all databases; the one that is having a problem backing up, when I expand the node, doesn't even show that SQL exists on the node, when in fact, it does.
I would also like to add that the databases on this node that will not backup are running fine. They run hundreds of transactions daily so we know SQL itself is OK. Even though it is a busy SQL Server, there is plenty of available resources as
the SQL buffer and memory counters show the node is not under durress.

Log aborts, with Failed to open log file error

Flash Media server version 2.0.3 periodically fails to open
the log file and aborts logging. This seems to occur post log file
roll time as it occurs at c.01:50. Does anyone else have a similar
issue ?
I am running Falsh Media Server on windows 2003 server SE!
Any help would be much appreciated.

Are you trying to run this code from job or something? Check if account executing the package has access to the path. Also check if path value passed is correct. If its a remote system path pass it in UNC format (ie //machine/...)

How to backup/restore files stored in the local copy of my iDisk using time

I have a MobileMe account and thus I am using the iDisk. I configured it to have a local copy. Thus I imagine that Time Machine is making an hourly backup of it.
However, when I enter Time Machine to restore a file, I cannot open my iDisk (it goes to the current version, not the historical ones).
This is particularly worrying for me, as all my important files (except images, movies and music)are stored on my iDisk such that I can access them from my multiple computers.

From this PCWorld article:
[Back up IDisk With Time Machine|http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/190738/backup_idisk_with_timemachine.html]
This local copy is stored as a sparse image bundle, which you can find on your Snow Leopard Mac by moving to your user folder and then following this path: Library/FileSync/incomprehensibly-named-folder where incomprehensibly-named-folder bears a name made up of letters and numbers. Inside this folder is the file you're after--yourmobilemename_iDisk.sparsebundle.
Unless you've configured Time Machine to exclude your user folder and its contents, this is where you'll point Time Machine to look for a backup. Note that when you travel back in time and restore this file, you'll be warned that there already exists a file with that name and offered a choice to keep the original, keep both, or replace the original. I'd suggest keeping both. Here's why.
I'm going to assume that people would want access to their old iDisk because they've lost something from it between then and now. If you keep the original, you can't get to your old stuff. If you replace the current sparse image bundle with the old one, your iDisk and Mac are now out of sync and you won't have the files you added since the restore point until they're synced again. If you keep both, you have everything you need.
Move the restored file to your Desktop, double-click it to mount it, and grab the content you want. Leave the original where it was, remove the (original) that now appears in its name, and your Mac and iDisk can go back to syncing where they last left off.

"Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume."

I get this message when I try to use time machine to backup my files to an external disk. I tried the restart route, and still same problem. Anyone have any ideas?

Actually this is what is listed after "Starting standard backup". I editted out personal names.

Time Machine Backups Failing w/ Error: (-36) SrcErr:YES

Machine History:
2008 iMac
2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo
4 GB of 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Version 10.7.5 OSX
External G-Drive 500 GB HD connected via Firewire.
Late yesterday my iMac started acting crazy. On reboot the machine did not come back up and was hung up on the Apple Logo. The circular progress meter was spinning and the system would not boot into the OS. At this point I started the system with the command key and R to get to the ulitlity menu. At this point I initiated a full system restore back to a backup dated June 10th 2013. The restore ran clean with no errors and the system came back up. At this point I wiped out my G-Drive so that I could take a full backup of the system. I partitioned the G-Drive 400 GB for Time Machine and 100 GB to manually backup photos and other files. I created the partition and manually backup family photos since it seems that at times I've added photos into iPhoto and they don't get added into the backup sets.
At this point I noticed that the Spotlight Indexing job was running in the background. The same time the Time Machine Full backup was running and initated and I'm not sure what happend. I recieved a generic error stating that the backup could not be completed at this time. Backups to disk will not run and recieve the same error. It appears that there are a ton of files on my mac HD that have this Error: (-36) SrcErr:YES error. I've tried a few things:
Using Terminal to mv or cp the files locally on the mac HD. This fails with I/O Errors
Using Terminal to mv or cp the files to the backup HD connected via FireWire. That fails with I/O Errors.
I've confirmed that the files are readable by the application. iMovie in this case. I was able to play the video content. So I belive that the files are in fact ok and good.
I've manually ran a full reindexing of spotlight. I suspected that the indexing was out of sync and that Time Machine was having a hard time with the metadata.
I've also confirmed that JPG file had this error in the /var/logs/system.log. I was able to open the JPG with preview and iPhoto with no issues. But, I can not copy or move the file to any locations on either the HD or the Backup HD.
Permissions on the files are rw-r-r. In another case I changed them to rw-rw-rw and that still did not make a difference as I would have expected.
My fear is that my Mac HD is getting ready to take a DUMP literally. Most of the stuff on the machine I don't care about however I do care about the family photo's and videos. To this point I've been able to manually backup my photos to the external disk. I have not yet backed up my videos. Starting to get stressed about that. I was about to take the PC in to Apple Care at the local store but wanted to disucss here as well. Any help would be appreciated.

This is done. I went into the Apple store and they had me run SMART Untiliy on my machine. There are a ton of bad sectors on my HD. Time for a new disk.
