Time machine backups last only a few months than need to be started again
Hi everybody, in short: I have been making regular backups using Time Machine for the last 6-7 years I started initially using a Time Capsule and those files are still perfectly ok after quite a few...
Hi Pieter,
I think you could be reaching the end of usable space on the system. The device does not allow you to fill the volume 100% with sparsebundles from timemachine, maybe this is the reason you are getting the error. while it appears you have available usable space for Time Machine, you in fact are hitting a hard limit,
=== filesystem /data ===
Data, single: total=1.09TiB, used=1.04TiB
Its worth a look. Also can you screenshoot your Time Machine setup screen?
Thanks,
Alexpe
As somebody who has had this problem constantly with ReadyNASs for about three years, the point is that Time Machine deletes the old backups when space is needed and it is my belief that the ReadyNAS does not permit Time Machine to do so.
So, the observation that Time Machine is running out of space is rather specious.
