Problem with Time Machine

When I try to archive my files with Time Machine I get an error message "erro disk not available".


The external disk is a 1 TB Iomega EGO Portable Hard Drive Mac Edition connected with 2 USB connection to my Mac Book Air with MacOS 10.7.4.


I have format the disk in MacOS extended. I have tried to copy file from my internal disk to the external disk & it works correctly.


Thanks in advance for any help.

Is this your first backup to that drive? If so, be sure it's set up properly. See #C1 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.


If not, or if it's set up correctly, try just selecting the disk again via Time Machine Preferences.


If that doesn't help, the prefereces file may be damaged. Try a "full reset" per #A4 in the link above.
