Repair a Time Machine error after restoring from Time Machine
Authored by: robogobo on Nov 04, '09 01:36:32AM

It's not clear in the hint what the OP means by "full backup". I think some assume that means erasing all the old backups, but I think he means just allow TM to do a normal backup, and the rest will remain intact.

I can confirm this error, although I got it on my brother in law's machine spontaneously (I guess- I don't know what he did), not following a restore. I couldn't figure out what to do with it, so we made sure we had everything else backed up (cloned regularly), erased the TM disk and started from scratch. If it happens again I'll try this hint just for info, and then get a bigger drive.

The problem seems to be one where TM loses its place somehow, and doesn't know where to pick back up.
