Hi,
I'm trying to back up my wife's Imac using Time Machine for the first time.
For that I'm using as a backup drive an Iomega NAS 2TB drive.
Already tried several times but always get Error 45, sparse disk cannot be created...
The iMac network name is not long nor has special characters so this is not the cause of the problem.
Any help would be apreciated,
Thanks in advance,
George
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Backing-up to NAS drives involves both the NAS software and Time Machine, and each NAS interacts with TM differently.
Be sure you're following Iomega's instructions very carefully, and that the NAS is compatible with Snow Leopard (some aren't).
A clue may be lurking in your logs. Use the widget in #A1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs. Locate the backup in question, then copy and post all the messages here.
