Ok, I am interested in this thread and watching with interest. Is the Widget noted below something I could use to monitor my TM backups? There isn't any indication of the exact part of the process that's going on unless opening TM preferences and watching the progress bar - but still not much info

Re: Question re Time Capsule 'path to volume'

Hi Steven, Thanks for getting back with more information. From what I can gather from the widget error messages, they indicate that what's on your internal HD may not match the hidden "File System Event Database" that OSX keeps on each disk, and TM normally uses to see what's been changed since
