Hi Rosemary, Yes, I know its CrashPlan.app... I can’t believe I typed CashPlan.app :(
I suggest CrashPlan is causing your Time Machine problems - CrashPlan is conflicting & messing up TimeMachine backups! Without seeing the complete log file of your TM backupd just the parts of the log below indicates to me CrashPlan is the problem. You would also see in the logs that TimeMachine is having issues thinning old backups on TimeCapsule, and worse yet, TimeMachine won't thin the MobileBackups on your Mac, meaning your SSD or hard drive will being filled up by backups that would never be deleted. It seems when you install CrashPlan, it sets file system attributes that do not allow itself to get deleted. With a bit of command-line wizardry, you can fix this problem. You need to remove the attributes from all instances of CrashPlan.app in all backed-up locations. AND then Exclude CrashPlan from TM backups This Apple discussion should help you with the terminal commands: <https://discussions.apple.com/message/29277434#29277434 <https://discussions.apple.com/message/29277434#29277434>> Cheers, Ronni > On 11 Apr 2016, at 8:32 AM, Rosemary Spark <arkaysp...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi ronni, > Yes, we do run Crashplan not Cashplan > Cheers > Rosemary > > On Sunday, 10 April 2016, Ronni Brown <ro...@mac.com <mailto:ro...@mac.com>> > wrote: > Without seeing the whole backupd log - Do you happen to have installed > CashPlan.app? > > Where exactly is that computername.tmp showing under SHARED? > > I feel you might require someone to look at this for you, not being able to > see and check your computer makes it very difficult to solve via email. > > Otherwise if you don’t have CashPlan.app installed and your computer and the > Time Capsule network etc are all working fine other than Time Machine backups > AND you have other complete backups of your Mac, I would erase the > sparsebundle and start again. > Is your Husbands sparsebundle backing up without problems? > > Cheers, > Ronni > > >> On 10 Apr 2016, at 12:40 PM, Rosemary Spark <arkaysp...@gmail.com <>> wrote: >> >> Hi >> Answers in message >> >> Rosemary Spark >> PO Box 781 >> South Fremantle WA 6162 Australia >> Phone: + 61 8 94336609 >> Mobile: 0414268043 >> arkaysp...@gmail.com <> >> On 9 April 2016 at 13:37, Ronni Brown <ro...@mac.com <>> wrote: >> >>> On 9 Apr 2016, at 10:25 AM, Rosemary Spark <arkaysp...@gmail.com <>> wrote: >>> >>> I still can't connect to Time Machine in the usual way.
