Can anyone help with this problem? Original posted July 3rd!
I now have a new problem. PC's and my iMac are backing up without any apparent problem.
However my for wife's MacBook, Time Machine starts goes through making disc available, preparing items, and the cleaning up - but then an pop up box appears "Time Machine could not complete the backup" (While this is going on my ReadyNAS is active, I can hear the NAS drives working.) Latest Backup: FAILED. If I look at the sparsebundle it's showing that its been updated with today's date & time. The read info tells me The problem may be temporary. Try again later to back up. If the problem persists, use Disc utility to repair your backup disk.
Time Machine should have been making weekly back ups (using TimeMachineEditor) and the last one was made on June 10, and I've just noticed that this failure has been happening
Any suggestions?
