Error of Time machine

Hello

I got an error on TM recently that said 'files cannot be copied to the backup drive because she seems to be read-only. "

I think it's because he is ' left only 49 GB on my 1 TB drive...  But I have a choice in TM to inform me when it deletes older backups.  It does not appear that have ever done however.

I recently created another account on this computer, which has some effect on it?

I'd be happy to go whipe two years ' worth of backups, just don't know what to do, but I don't want to return to automatic operation.

It seems normal after a reboot, so, if you recommend doing nothing at all?

Start with C6 in the 1st article linked.

  • Time Machine backup error

    I backup my iMac using Time Machine for a time capsule.  Since a few days I received the error:

    Time Machine, an error occurred while copying the files. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, use disk utility to repair your backup disk.

    I can see the Capsule in the Finder and have disconnected and reconnected that has not solved the problem.  Using Airport utility, I can see the time Capsule in the two Ethernet and Wi - Fi have green lights.  I also shot the Capsule of time, and then again in Time Machine preferences.  Still no go.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance,

    -Chris

    You must use Airport utility to repair or reformat a drive Time Capsule. Use the menu help in the utility Airport to search for 'clear' get instructions if you do not know how.

  • error - 36 on Time Machine backup

    Help! I went on vacation for a week of my iMac running that yosemite was working fine when I left him. I left it turned on on my back, he had frozen, and disk utility showed that the player needed repair but it was irreparable. So I started from a system disk and deleted from my drive, hoping to restore from my Time Machine backup which was connected all the time. (I also have a Clone of Carbon Copy backup). But the Time machine backup restores, showing me "error-36". I'm quite familiar with the operations of Terminal "dot_clean", but when I try it tells me that the command is unknown. And, of course, the problem is with the Time Machine backup, not with my hard drive. is it possible to repair the Time Machine backup in my situation? I can't restore my backup CCC because my iMac can't see, had no installed system. I'm about to try to completely install the original Snow Leopard system from the boot disk and then either try to restore from time Machine, or migrate it again.

    Can anyone offer advice please?

  • Disk error backup external hard Time machine

    Hello
    While that hurry to catch a flight, I accidentally disconnected my external hard drive (which I use for time machine backups) before ejecting.  Now the House, the time machine backup does not recognize my external hard drive.  I went into disk utility to try to repair the disk.  Here's what he said:

    I could really use some help as to how I should proceed.  Any advice?

    I think you need to clear this backup disk, and while you are this and do a full backup (which takes all afternoon to all night) you will be working without a net. If you do in idle time, and after checking your boot disk, the risk of catastrophic failure while the backup is low. Start now and in the future, you will have a backup.

    If you have a different backup disk, add it and Time Machine will create a new independent backup on it, and then Time Machine alternate disks automatically.

  • Time machine is unable to perform a backup. Not able to access the sparsebundle. Problem occurred first on snow leopard OS. Followed Dragon upgrade to El Capitan. Only difference has error code of 109 changed to null. What about someone?

    Time machine is unable to perform a backup. Not able to access the sparsebundle. First of all, there is problem with the Snow Leopard operating system. Dragon followed in the upgrade to El Capitan. Only difference was error code 109 changed to 'null '. What about someone?

    We need some info.

    You can access from the finder Time Capsule? If this isn't the case, then Time Machine will not work.

    You upgrade the computer snow to El Capo and keep the same name?

    If you want to backup, it is best to start again... clean the new backup any attempt to add a previous backup failed.

    I recommend that you actually erase the TC... do a complete factory reset and start again.

    The previous backup if necessary can be archived on a USB drive connected to the TC assuming that Airport utility can still access it. Airport utility accesses the TC?

    With update installs all sorts of things can go wrong... so tell me more if you can not get anywhere.

  • Time Machine error message wants to delete all backups

    Is there a way to delete older backups? I am able to see them in my time Machine, but I get this error when I try to save "Time Machine has conducted an audit of your backups on"PersonalCloud". To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you. Click Start a new backup to create a new backup. This will remove your existing backup history. This may take several hours. »

    Is it possible to keep the information contained in the previous backups?

    I have not saved within months because of this error message.

    I'm running 10.11.4 and was backing through Wifi to a Seagate Personal Cloud

    Is it possible to keep the information contained in the previous backups?

    N ° you have lost all your backups.

    A device third-party network attached storage (NAS) or a router is unsuitable for use with Time Machine, especially if it's your only backup. I know that's not what you want to hear. I know that Time Machine accepts the device as a backup destination. I know that the manufacturer says the device will work with Time Machine, and I also know that it usually seems to work. Except when you are trying to restore and find that you can't.

    Apple has published a specification for network devices that works with Time Machine. No third party provider, AFAIK, does meet this specification. They all use the application of "Netatalk" incomplete, obsolete Apple Filing Protocol.

    Apple does not endorse any device third-party network for use with Time Machine. See this support article.

    Network backup, use as destination an Apple Time Capsule or an external storage device connected to another Mac or a 802.11ac AirPort base station. Only 802.11ac base stations support time Machine, not older model.

    Otherwise, use Time Machine at all. There are other ways to save, although none of them are nowhere near as effective or as well integrated with OS X. I don't have a specific recommendation.

    If you are determined to continue to use the device with Time Machine, your only remedy for any resulting problem is the manufacturer (who will blame Apple, neither you nor anyone else but herself.)

  • Check airport Time Machine reports error

    The last 30 days has happened twice.  An error box appears to show "Time Machine has conducted an audit of your backups on 'Airport Tome Capsule' to improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup.'"

    This happened about 30 days ago.  There are 1.2 to the remaining space.  The total size of the volume it's backup is about 350 GB.  I can go in a Time Machine and see some backups go back about 20 days or more.

    Don't know what to check or do.

    Any advice?

    Thank you

    Unfortunately, your options are very limited:

    (1) not at all save and keep your old backups.

    (2) start backups again and the old one will be deleted.

    The essential is that your entire backup file is damaged and utility disk on your Mac is unable to repair the file, so Time Machine a delete older backups and start a new backup.

    Given that the same question has occurred recently as well, which could involve the Time Capsule disk has a defect that causes the corrupted files. I would recommend you ask Apple to replace the Capsule of time at this stage, because they offer no repairs on the Time Capsule.

  • Time Machine "an error occurred during the creation of the backup folder"

    Hi all

    In September 2015, I bought a 6 TB WD MyBook to use with Time Machine. Initially, I have me back an Early 2011 MacBook Pro 13 "and now it's an iMac late 2015 5 K. On both machines, the drive is connected directly to the USB port (without hubs was between the disc and the Mac). After about a week or two, I received a message "unable to full backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder".» I clicked on OK, rebooted the MacBook and she continued to save. This message pops up every week or two weeks, and I ignored him. When I got to the iMac, the message still popped up after a few weeks, and he even got to the point where it would show every day when I woke up to the iMac to sleep after a day at the College. Several clears and even erase the disc course made no difference. I made contact with WD and they sent me a new drive (a 8TB vs the original 6 to). Now, the message popped up again today.

    When I was home from Uni, I was support my MacBook Pro 2015 retina on a FireWire drive, which I had used before purchasing the WD 6 to, using Apple's FireWire adapter Thunderbolt. It worked without any problem. In addition, back up my MacBook Pro via FireWire 2011 worked well for 4 years. Given that the MacBook Pro saved without fault when the drive is connected via FireWire, and problems have emerged only when I started to use a USB drive, I start to think that it is a problem of USB. I turned it off put hard drives to sleep when possibleand have active Power Nap and still get the error.

    Anyone else see this issue?

    Thank you very much in advance!

  • Time machine could not complete the backup of... The backup disk image could not be found (error (null))

    Running OS 10.11.3 on my early 2011 Macbook Pro 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 with 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, use Time Machine to back up to my Airport 802.11ac purchased 16/09/2014:

    Backup failed: Time Machine could not complete the backup of... Airport Time Capsule.   The backup disk image ' / Volume/Data/MacBookPro.sparsebundle ' could not be found (error (null)).   Last successful backup: yesterday at 12:17

    I can see the airport and the data file in my network.

    I immediately did a full time Machine backup on a USB key and it disconnected from my system.

    I unplugged the airport, let it rest for a minute and returned the power plug, let it settle for a green light.  I'm restarting Time Machine backup to the airport.

    I need to replace the airport?  The appliance starts to fail?  Or, it is more likely is a problem with winter static electricity that has damaged the image and reconstruction will fix all this.  Reconstruction will take about four hours with no guarantee that it will work.

    Please see #C17 in this document great support... http://pondini.org/TM/troubleshooting.html
