Time Machine error 19 - backups failing then completing
My Time Machine backups consistently say "Backup failed with error: 19" -- but the backups then proceed to complete successfully. I only know about the issue because I saw the errors in Console.
I back up to 2 external HDs, and this happens with both of them every time (both with hourly and manual backups).
I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion; I don't know if it was happening before.
I tried changing the name of my computer in System Preferences / Sharing (per Pondini's advice to someone else's posting), but that didn't help. (Nor did using a USB cable instead of FireWire.) I also tried restoring an item from a backup, and it worked….
My question: What should I do? Of course it's not good to have errors, but if the backups are working, should I still do a full reset of Time Machine or something?
I started this discussion originally under a title that didn't describe the problem very well -- I later wanted to change it but couldn't. That discussion is at:
Thank you.
