Why is time Machine not backing up?: Apple Support Communities
Sometimes simple things work best.
I should add close all apps, shut down & unplug first, then replug-in & re-boot.

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. 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.

Interesting that a permissions problem could cause this. This seems like something way worse than what is really is. Sort of like life sometimes I guess.
Lion is now installed on my machine. Two previous failed installations. After each failed installation I ran disk verify from the original sl disk in the cd drive. I had to erase and reformat the drive and restore from time machine.
The successful installation: I ran disk verify before the lion install and from the cd. No errors. But then I also ran permissions verify and repaired any issues. Then I re downloaded and installed Lion with success.
There had been no reported permissions issue previously but verify found issues. Don’t know if this is the issue on my machine but fixing it preceded the successful installation of Lion. Perhaps it will help some one else.

Synology Disk Station DS1511+ NAS server – Serial ATA-300. I had a reader search for this today and I didn’t have any articles. The Synology Disk Stations are all Time Machine compatible. These are a great way to do network backups.
