Error occurred while restoring from the TimeMachine backup
I have an brand new HD that I want to restore from TimeMachine.
Erased and partitioned this brand new drive. Created 2 partitions and formatted as “OS Extended Journaled/ GUID.”
Did a “Command R recovery boot” and went through the steps to backup from TM to my new HD.
15 seconds into the restoration process Msg. reads:
“Error occurred while restoring from the backup.
Restart your computer and then try restoring again.”
Trouble shooting:
Luckily my original files and initial boot drive that TM was backing up from remains fine and I performed some more TM back ups as well as a TM backup onto another drive as well.
I even tried restoring to another empty drive with older backups and backups off of another HD and got the same error message.
All my BU’s and BU attempts have been within 10.7.3 on the same MP.
Thank you in advance for any help!!
