My Time Capsule gets stuck at 72% verification. No backups have been completed since March 3.

Run a verify of the local disk and the TC.

See A5 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html

I would do a reboot of the whole network.. restart in order from everything off.. modem.. TC.. clients. 2min gap between them.

If that doesn't work do a full factory reset of the TC and see if that gets it moving again.

Otherwise you might need to start over.

Did you upgrade install OS?

Are you using wireless? Try doing it with ethernet if you are.. turn wireless off.

Thank you again, Pondini!

My TC appears to date from early 2008. So that makes it an original.

I had done a bit of research on Target Disk mode before, because I have an old e-mail archive in Eudora that either needs to be cleaned up and moved to Mail so the MacBook can be upgraded to Lion or needs to be moved as is to the PowerBook. Your comments have me leaning toward saving the space on the PowerBook for the e-mail.

I'll put the purchase of a 1T drive at the top of my list.

Many, many thanks for taking the time to explain all of this. 🙂
