Unfortunately, this is an indication that your Time Machine backup file has become corrupted.....likely as a result of running the anti-virus or other harmful utilities.


The only "fix" for this is to erase the Time Capsule drive and start over again with a new backup.


After you have erased the Time Capsule drive.....and before you run a new backup......my recommendation would be to remove all of the anti-virus applications and other "cleaning" utilities from your Mac.

Power off the Time Capsule, wait a minute, then power it back up

Restart your iMac


Hold down the option key on the iMac while you click on the Time Machine "clock" icon at the top of the iMac's screen and click on Verify Backups.


The process will take anywhere from 10-60 minutes or more to complete, depending on how much data is stored on the Time Capsule disk.
