TimeMachine hangs in Waiting to Complete First backup error, when prompted to backup now, it hangs with error Backup Disk not available
Dear All,
Since 2022 I had no issue with TimeMachine. This year after October 31st (with a couple of update on the OS, now I am at 12.7.1 with MBP Retina 13inch early 2015) TimeMachine does not create any backups. It hangs with the error message in the title forever. Safeboot, other forum ideas won't move me forward. I restarted QNAP NAS, MBP, everything several times, i did overnight long run to do backup (sometimes in the past let it sit on power for the entire night helped and resolved, now nothing. I started to check the logs and here is what I see so far... I believe there is an issue that Timemachine somehow looks for Backups of bob007-laptop 19 folder under Volumes, but there is nothing there...
Here is how my Volumes folder looks like:
Log will be on the next post as I get an error message during writing this post.
If i read this right when TM would like to mount '/Volumes/Backups of bob007-laptop 19 as disk3s1 then it fails because there is no such directory. OK it is true... i have no idea why that happened. Between 31.10.2023 and today there were a couple of OSX updates as well, but since I am in 12.x.x that did not caused anything bad in the past.
Does anybody has any idea how to force TM to either pass directory 19 and move forward or redo directory 19 or anything really... I am completely stuck here. I also tried in Terminal with tmutil app, but did not succeed.
Thank you!
