Time Machine Error Code (-50) - Failed to make snapshot container
Time Machine has not been able to backup my computer for 2 days.
First I was getting a message that I did not have access to a strange file that, when searched, I could not find. Now I'm getting the following log message when a Time Machine backup fails:
Starting standard backup
Backing up to: /Volumes/WD Backup/Backups.backupdb
Error: (-50) Creating directory 2009-02-11-144057.inProgress
Failed to make snapshot container.
Backup failed with error: 2
Any advice?
