I upgraded to v10.1.3 yesterday, and it will not seem to quit the backup process. Currently I have one library open, with maybe 100 or so clips, none more than 1min long. And fcpx has literally been running the backup process for hours (0 to 100%, 0 to 100%, etc over and over every second).
Has anyone else run into this issue? Is the only way to avoid it to turn the backup function off in the project settings?
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
I'm having this same problem. I recommend not updating FCPX right now.
If I open Background Task Manager I can hit the "X" to stop it, but then it'll start up again if I open another library.
MacPro 2014
Mavericks 10.9.4
FCP 10.1.3
You two should report your issue to http://www.apple.com/feedback/finalcutpro.html. Write in the comments that you are using v10.1.3 since the form hasn’t updated yet.
Glad to see I'm not the only one with this issue. I've also been having the issue of audio randomly dropping out on playback (though it's perfectly intact on export).
And thanks James, that was a good idea and I filled that out. I'm still new to these forums and not well-versed on where everything is, so thanks for suggesting that as well as sending the link as it was very helpful.
Hopefully they will do something about this on a new release.
Same problem here. Report sent to Apple. I hope they get this fixed very quickly !
When I quit FCPX, I get the message "backup tasks not finished, would you really like to quit ?"
It's quite scary when it's backup save...
We are having the same problem on three MacPros. Infinite auto backup loop.
Current solution is to turn off backups on existing libraries.
At the end of the day we are duplicating libraries on the finder level creating a manual backup.
Our libraries are on shared storage server.
You could also just duplicate the updated projects as needed.

Same.
Good news is that a few hours after I filled out the feedback form (pointed out to me by James up above) someone from the Apple Pro Apps division contacted me about this issue asking for more information. So hopefully (maybe) something will come from this.
Also, I've found that occasionally my audio will drop out for a few seconds upon playback in FCPX, yet is fully intact in the exported file. Any come across that issue, too?
Same here ! For the audio drops (but perfect rendering) and the contact from someone at Apple Apps a few hours after posting here.
This seems to be a bug and of course this function should work. I do not have this issue. I have turned auto backup off since long time ago and have been using application, Backups for Final Cut Pro all the time. available from App Store. In my opinon much better.
I have a new inifinite loop problem.
If I decide to copy my project on another drive, I have to link back all the files in it. Usually, it can be a little long if the project is big, but it's a very simple task. I'm used to it.
But now, if I want to link more than around 200 files in a row, the check-up process of files compatibility fall into an infinite loop. It won't stop to the 200 files, it will continue up to 15000 or 20000... until it stops and freeze.
Very strange bug ! Never had this one before.
Try this:
Open the app.
Right click on the library on the sidebar and select Close Library "Name of Library".
Do this for ALL the libraries you have on that list until all you see is a button named "Open Library".
Click that button and load the library from the list.
Close the app.
Reboot the computer.
Launch FCP 10.1.3. The problem should now have stopped.
Since I have moved last night a part of a Library into a new one on another hard drive, the problem of infinite backup loop stopped.
I guess your solution must indeed work !
I had the same question as the OP a page or so back but I thought this had something to do with background tasks. Spinning from 1-100% and never stopped. I thought my project was corrupt and ended up deleting it. I'm glad other people are seeing this as well.
Hopefully a fix will come soon.
I have the same problem. Really frustrating on when your working on a 6 hour docu.!
This a work around I got from fcp.co site:
When you click on the Library in the event browser, in the inspection "library properties" window you have a "modify settings" button that leads to the last image on this page, where you choose to store your backups. Default is "Final Cut Backups" which is a folder that FCP X created and resides in the user's home>movies folder.
