I have been using Time Machine on my 2006 iMac (Leopard 10.5.8), for about 8 months with no problems whatsoever. All of a sudden a few days ago, this popped up: "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume."
I checked and found out it hadn't done a backup since Dec. 24. Tried backing up again, and it will run abut 5 minutes, then the error will pop up again. I have formatted my External Drive, and same thing happens. I have a 300 GB Iomega external drive, with about 64 GB of info to backup from my internal drive. It backs up about 979 MB before it quits. I have also run all the repair Disk functions on the Iomega, and all seems well.
I also downloaded SuperDuper (which I used to use before I upgraded to Leopard, and started using Time Machine), and it also would not complete a backup. Any ideas??
Thanks,
Steve
