Time Capsule Error 35?

Question

Time Capsule Error 35?

Okay folks, I've never liked Time Machine because it is too flakey, but I got it to work until I got my new mac intel. I tried to back up and it failed. I've done the following things:
excluded Parallels, erased time cap volume, deleted the plist, reassigned the backup volume to the newly erased Time Cap volume. But I'm still getting errors. Backup Image could not be created...

Any help appreciated...
Oh yeah, I'm connected via Ethernet to the TimeCapsule.

error 35 refers to an unmounted disk. try using afp to mount the TC hard drive then try time machine.

Hi, thanks. Can you tell me how or point me in the direction of using afp on the TC HD? It is seen in the Time Capsule/ Machine Setup dialog box as an available drive...
Thanks

Yes I know its seen but I've run into that type of problem as you and when I mounted it then used TM it worked.

Go/connect to servers>afp://ip address(found under internet tab in Airport Utility) ...assuming you did three other steps before hand:
1) Airport Utility under Disks tab/File Sharing check the box and the wan box and enter your password.
2) doing afp use that password found in the file sharing pane of Disks using Airport Utility

I found that the TC had 108 megs of unknown info on the disk so I had to do a secure erase, not an easy one and then I had to turn on WAN in Airport utility for the disk. Not sure if the latter made the difference or not. However, the computer is connected to the TC by ethernet and I cannot remember what my prior computer's settings were. Also, there is no password for the WAN checkbox itself.
But thanks, it backed up last night...
