    Hi, shootinflix.  

     

    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  

     

    I understand that you are unable to access a Time Capsule backup.  Let's try to verify and repair the drive using the AirPort Utility.  Once this is done attempt to access your backup again.  

     

    Verify an AirPort Time Capsule drive

    Your AirPort Time Capsule automatically performs a file system check on its internal drive during startup. To verify the drive, use AirPort Utility to restart your AirPort Time Capsule. 

    From a Mac

    1. Open AirPort Utility.
    2. Select your device. 
    3. If needed, click Enter Password, then enter your device password.
    4. Choose Base Station > Restart.

    From an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    1. Open AirPort Utility
    2. Select your device. 
    3. If needed, tap Enter Password, then enter your device password.
    4. Tap Edit > Advanced > Restart Base Station.

    If your AirPort Time Capsule finds an issue that it can resolve, it repairs the file system of the drive. If it finds an issue it can't resolve, the LED on your AirPort Time Capsule flashes amber. Select your AirPort Time Capsule in AirPort Utility to learn more. 

     

    Verify, repair, or erase an AirPort Time Capsule drive

     

    Cheers
