backing up on time capsule and doesn't work, no error readings , no date of backup listed so it doesn't seem to back up and new external drive doesn't back up either, any suggestions? trying to back up so I can have the battery replaced, thanks,
Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Is the externally enclosed hard disk drive, formatted for use with Mac OS X?
Not sure about the Time Capule unit...

How about that Time Machine...?

How do you have Time Machine software set?

Have you tried making copies or clones of your system in
an external HDD without time machine or time capsule?
You could use CarbonCopyCloner, if your external is big.
What computer do you have, that needs a battery replaced?
Some portables with a 'pram' type battery, and desktops.
And some certainly do not encourage user take-apart.
Could be a few backup ideas in links.
Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
