Forced to update to High Sierra, Time Capsule problems:
Mid 2010 MacBook
High Sierra OSX 10.13.4
Airport router/Time Capsule 2TB
WHAT IS WRONG
• "Preparing backup" stuck for 14 hours, tried again for another 14 hours
• Cannot access any backups in Time Machine, all dates stuck on "Waiting"
• Verifying backup stuck, progress bar solid blue from start
This all happened after upgrade to High Sierra. Last successful TM backup was before updating. No changes to computer except deleting a lot of work files.
WHAT I HAVE DONE
• Backup volume is excluded from Sophos Home anti-virus as well as Spotlight
• Time Machine .plist deleted from Preferences
• Re-set PRAM
• Tried to trash "Backups.backupd" but inside backup folder is just a disk image, nothing else. (Also had to connect manually, if that's anything).
• Can't remove "inProgress" file because again, only disk image
• Rebooted with Time Capsule connected and unconnected
• Unplugged/plugged Time Capsule
