My Time Machine base station has started to give me "error" messages because back-up attempts are failing due to the fact that the "sparse bundle file is already in use". I have installed the latest firmware updates and rebooted the base station. How do I

My Time machine base station has suddenly started to post "back-up failed because the sparse-bundle file is already in use", messages.

I have installed the latest up-dates for the firmware and also re-booted the base station. How do I proceed from here?
