Unable to get status of backup volume: Apple Support Communities

Unable to get status of backup volume: Apple Support Communities. I got this message today. I caused it myself by unplugging an external USB device that TM thought was still mounted. So since that partition was identically named to another partition, it was confused which one I was referring to. Makes perfect sense.

Pondini solves it. How exciting it is when things work correctly.

Timemachine is Backing up again. What i have done:

Started Festplattendienstprogram (Harddisk Repair Program) and performed the check. The result was ok = green. (Like Pondini proposed, thanx!)

I stopped Timemachine by performing a reboot.

I deaktivated Timemachine backup.

I ereased the “Backup-in-progress-file” in the Mac mini Servers backup.

I started an manual Backup and this went ok.

After that i restard automated backup again.

So im am fine now!

Thanxs to everyone.

Migrate Time Machine backup to new Mac in Lion | Operating Systems | Macworld

Migrate Time Machine backup to new Mac in Lion | Operating Systems | Macworld. This is a very thoughtful thing for Apple to do. Sometimes I am surprised by the thoughtfulness they put into their products. Other times I am surprised by the overt marketing that exists. I suppose it is a hard thing to balance the needs of the users against the needs of Apple.
