Backup Verifcation Issues
For many years I've backed up my Mac's to an Apple Time Capsule. It's one of the older original ones, but it has worked just fine for many many years (and has saved my butt a few times). Recently I ...
I have more or less the same problem…
My Ultra2+ worked perfectly since september2011 as a Time Capsule, backing up 2 Macs.
But since a couple of monthes, I get sometimes "General Protection Fault" errors, which I suspect being the cause of corrupted TimeMachines backups. Now I lost both backups and have to create new ones (I have backups of those backups, but I discovered they are corrupted too ;-). Maybe the Time Machine protocol is not solid enough.
OK, we all know we have to do backups of our backups… ad nauseam but I would expect a bit more reliability. If I need to spend time every week to do backups of expensive NASs, I loose the benefit of using them and should rather simply plug external drives on my Macs.
Speaking about reliability, I also had an Apple Time Capsule that stopped working (board & power supply were dead - not the disk) after many years without a single problem.
