time machine sick to death of it!
I am absolutely sick and tired of trying to create a back up. I have been endevouring to do this all year.. and still I am no further forward. I have a Mybooklive attached to my Netgear. I have wiped it clean and started again. .. and STILL I dont seem to have a successful back up on there. It is driving me to distraction. I get the following errors...
this back up started on March 9 - it seems to stop and restart each time the amount to be backed up reduces... until it gets to say 2gb..

I tried at one stage to go in and edit as per another post on here using terminal.. got stuck at a particular stage and gave up as noone responded how to help.
I just want a back up. Western Digital have offered to replace my hard drive - but it will be a reconditioned one and not a new one..
I just hate it.
