Time Machine backup fails

Featured Replies

I need some help getting Time Machine working.  I just upgraded to Unraid 5.0-beta6a and I can't get Time Machine to finish its first backup.  I created a share that's exporting via AFP.  I can mount the share in Snow Leopard 10.6.7 and Time Machine sees it as a valid backup disk.  The backup starts and everything looks good so far but about 2 hours and 40GB later, the backup fails.  Here's what comes up in the syslog.  Note that this repeats indefinitely until I go on to the Unraid GUI and disable AFP.

Please post the entire syslog. ZIP it if needed.

Zipped syslog as requested...

Is the share trying to span two or more disks? Being a sparseimage, the TimeMachine backup only likes to be on one logical volume. It can't span two drives, and will fail if it does.

 

 

How much free space is on the TM target share?

Under the share settings I put disk4 as the included disk so I don't think it's spanning.  There is currently 1.3TB free on the share.

Does the 1.3TB appear as available when you mount the share in the Finder?

Everything works great now.  I had 1.3TB set as the Min Free Space thinking Unraid would allocate 1.3TB of 2.0TB of the drive for the share.  Thanks for the help!

So you removed that value from Min Free Space?

 

If/when I move my TM Backups to my unRAID, I'll attempt to move an existing sparseimage over (got it to work going from USB drive to Macbook Pro to USB drive on Airport Extreme--forget what I had to do now :D but I have a few pages I bookmarked--it wasn't much fun, but it worked out if anyone is interested in maintaining your existing TM backups).
