10.5: Partially tame Time Machine's warping background
Authored by: morespace54 on Nov 09, '07 07:36:36AM

OT but I had a small (?) problem with TM yesterday...
After a few successfuls backups since October 26, TM suddenly told me that "Backup failed" with a useful red exclamation mark... When I clicked on the exclamation mark, TM simply told me "Could not complete the backup"...

My drive still has 80 GB of free space. I did a verify disk with Disk utility, everything seems to be fine. I tried to copy a folder of 20 GB onto my backup drive, without any problem!

I even tried to set up a new drive (with 40 GB of free space) even if I could *loose* all my priors backups and I still get the same message.

Arg.

I just wish I could know (more) about why TM keep saying "Backup failed"...
