TimeMachine Backup to USB HDD Error 100%
Im getting an error when I try to backup my TimeMachine on NAS to a USB HDD 100% of the time. I haven't been able to resolve this but have some thoughts as to why it might be happening. No idea if ...
It looks to me like its not creating the sparsebundle on the USB HDD. But redusing the TimeMachine size setting to 900gig should mean 2 of then can fit. I know you said they grow as needed upto the set limit but it feels like they were set to full size. Hmm i should be able to check that. Will have to do some calculations. I read somewhere something about reducing the sparse bundle size requiring a resetup of TM on the computers. Just not prepared to leave my computers at risk without knowing for sure that is the problem.
Hmm by my calculations the space used supports your advice regarding the size of the disk images. But behaviour seems to suggest otherwise. Will go try reformatting the USB HDD now.
