Time Machine hasn't done a successful backup since yesterday afternoon. When I click on the Time Machine icon in the menu I will sometimes see it backing up. I just tried "Back Up Now"; it made it to "Backing up 26.8MB of 30.4MB", then it stopped.

I tried turning backups off and on yesterday after I noticed that they weren't happening, but that didn't help. I just rebooted to see if that will help, I'll update here if it does.

Here are the console messages for Any = backupd

Rebooting seems to have cleared up the problem.

The first backup after the reboot was huge: 937 MB (most of my backups are under 30 MB).

An hour later it did a 4MB backup.

  • You can use tools like BackupLoupe to see what the time machine backup consisted of and see what the changes were.

  • Just checked. That was a large backup because I'd used SheepShaver the day before, and its virtual disk file was modified. That was 524 MB all by itself.

  • @mmmmmm I only use my VMs one or two times a week, so it's not a problem that they cause occasional large backups.
