Aug 15, 2016 1:24 PM in response to July7Kiss1995by Paul Koning,A different data point. I've seen this twice now on my home Mac Pro (running 10.6 because of the need for PPC emulation). This is using an Apple Time Capsule, a fairly old one, hardwired. There is no indication that this is a hardware or disk drive issue. As far as I can tell it's a software bug. It is unfortunate that Apple doesn't seem interested in fixing it.
The previous time it happened I did a backup to a spare hard drive just in case TC decided to throw up and have no backups at all. I'll do that again this time (it just happened this morning), I think.

Aug 16, 2016 10:57 AM in response to Paul Koningby Paul Koning,Following up: some more searching turned up this article: http://www.garth.org/archives/2011,08,27,169,fix-time-machine-sparsebundle-nas-b ased-backup-errors.html . I tried it last night, it worked fine. (Very small tweaks were needed: fsck need a /dev/rdiskxxxx, not /dev/diskxxxx.)
So my backups are running again and I didn't lose the old ones.
