Can you please take a look at my TM Buddy log and opine on what the problem is?

Pondini,


Can you please take a look at my TM Buddy log and opine on what the problem is? I'm stuck in the "Preparing Backup" phase for what must be hours now. My last successful backup was this morning at 7:16 am. I did do a series of Software Update this morning, one of which, a security update I believe, required a restart.


I'm confused as to what the issue is, and how to get everything back to "it just works".


Many thanks in advance.

Time Machine can't read some data it needs from your backups (each of those date-stamps is one of your backups).


That's usually a problem with the drive itself, but could be the directory on it. First be sure all plugs are snug and secure, then see if you can repair it, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.


If that doesn't help, post back with the results. Also either tell us what kind of Mac you have, what version of OSX you're running, or post that to your Profile, so it's accessible.



This is unrelated to the original post here, so I'm going to ask the Hosts to split it off into a new thread. Since you've posted in the Lion forum, I'll assume that's what you're running. You should get a notice from them
