But there’s a price: you lose all your Time Machine backups! So, before doing this, make sure you have another backup of your data. This procedure is easy to do and solves the vast majority of Time Capsule disk problems. If all repair attempts fail and even deleting the disk image doesn’t make Time Machine happy, you can erase the entire disk. But if the problem affects all your Macs, move on to the next tip. If the problem affects only a single Mac, you can try deleting that Mac’s disk image and starting over with a fresh backup (keeping in mind that in so doing, you’ll lose that Mac’s older backups). If you can’t repair the disk image for one reason or another, or if the repair appears to succeed but Time Machine still won’t work, you may need a more drastic approach. It’s worth a try if you have it (or another repair program) available. If Disk Utility finds errors that it can’t repair, a utility such as Alsoft’s $100 DiskWarrior may be able to fix the disk. Because Disk Utility is examining a network volume, be prepared to wait much longer than you would for a comparable repair of a local volume.ĭisk Utility can’t see your Time Capsule disk itself, but it can see (and often repair) the disk images that contain your Time Machine backups. Disk Utility examines the disk image and-if it finds any errors it can repair-fixes them. Click on the First Aid tab, and then click on Repair Disk. In the list on the left, select the disk image. Open Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities/).

This folder should contain one disk image for each Mac you back up with Time Machine (and nothing else).ĭouble-click on the disk image corresponding to the Mac that’s experiencing Time Machine errors, and wait for it to mount. If the disk doesn’t mount automatically, click on Connect As in the dialog box that appears, and supply your credentials if prompted to do so. Select your Time Capsule in the sidebar of any Finder window and double-click on the folder inside it (which may be named “Data” or “Backups,” or something else of your choosing) containing your Time Machine backups. Open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences and turn off Time Machine. To check your disk image, follow these steps: Although Disk Utility can’t repair the Time Capsule disk itself, it can be used on these disk images, which more often than not are the source of the problem.
Time Capsule stores Time Machine backups on disk images.
