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 ...

Yeah, I've heard of Time Capsule's failing like that, typically a power supply problem. The backups seem to run much faster to my ReadyNAS so I'm hoping there is some update or fix for this issue. I saw another user post a comment that it was related to switching between wired and wireless networking and I think that may be my case as well. When I'm in my office I use a ThunderBolt Ethernet adapter (from CalDigit, http://www.caldigit.com/thunderboltstation/) but when I'm on the road I use WiFi. I noticed the day this happened that even though I was connected to my Thunderbolt station my network traffic was going over my WiFi, even with the Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter set as a higher priority. The other poster said that as long as he remembers to disable his WiFi before getting into his home/office his backups were ok. So I'm wondering if it starts doing a verification and then Mavericks decides to change networking connections and blows up the verification. If that is the case, then it is a Mavericks issue. But who knows. I guess I could switch my backups to my old TC for a while and see how things go. I just want it to work reliably.
