10.5: Time machine, corrupt sparse images, and panics
Authored by: diamondsw on Mar 10, '08 08:54:20AM

I also had a case where my sparse image became corrupted - my wireless network dropped right as it finished the backup, and managed to corrupt an unknown file, the spotlight index, and the journal. Real mess. I don't have DiskWarrior 4.1 since Alsoft refuses to post an updater for paid customers (and I am <strong>extremely upset</strong> with them for this), but I was able to repair the disk image using the built-in fsck_hfs. Once repaired, everything has been fine since.

In my case the corruption only caused backups to fail, not kernel panics.
