Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:


Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)


In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.


If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.


Select "system.log" from the file list. Enter "backupd" (without the quotes) in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the last backup, beginning with "Starting standard backup." Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. Edit out excessive repeats, if any. Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included – edit that out, too, but don’t remove the context.

Have you installed any software that modifies the way Time Machine works? If you have, remove it and reboot. If not, start Time Machine manually from the preference pane or menu item and make a full backup. Then boot from your recovery partition (command-R at startup) and reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

Yes, I'm modify:

sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.backupd-auto StartInterval -int 43200

sudo chmod 644 /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.backupd-auto.plist

sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.backupd-auto.plist

and this worked before last Supplimental Update


and creating backups are work now


don't start Time Machine app only:


$ open -a "Time Machine"


and nothing... 😟

I'm modify...


The file is corrupt, and you haven't fixed it. I have no way of knowing what other system files are corrupt, which is why I recommend reinstallation.


open -a "Time Machine"


That's not how you start a backup. From the Time Machine menu (if enabled), select Back up now, or the equivalent in your language. You can also do it in the TM preference pane in System Preferences.
