"The identity of the backup disk has changed..."
The drives at both places are identical, with identical names and in both cases are connected to a BT router/DSL modem.
All has been working nearly perfectly. (I say almost, because occasionally at home I'll get an error saying a backup couldn't be made because the disk wasn't available. Usually this clears up after a few subsequent attempts, or always after a reboot. Fortunately this doesn't happen often.)
However, I'm now getting an error message every time I move from one location to the other:
"The identity of the backup disk has changed since the previous backup.
The disk may have been replaced or erased, or someone may be trying to trick your computer into backing up to the wrong disk."
Fortunately, the dialog box is very visible and gives the option of going ahead and using the disk...which I do. As long as I'm in the same location, everything then continues to work without issue.
This is most odd, as neither disk name has been changed and I was working for 3 months without anything like this happening.
(I might add, with my previous Powerbook, I had an identical Firewire drive at both locations and having the dual backups worked flawlessly without issue for the entire time I used it...nearly two years.)
Anyone have any idea why this weird message is now surfacing after 3 months of working fine?
