[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1118294, member: 131855"] I am not sure if either of the following are the cause of that error but just for clarification the following things occur to me: 1. Have you verified the disk drive that you want to use. Time machine can be somewhat picky about drive errors. You will need to do this with the drive directly connected to the Mac since DU won't verify over the network. 2. What is the drive format? Under normal circumstances Time Machine is expecting HFS+ Extended Journaled if I remember correctly. I don't remember for sure if it works with other formats over the network. Might as well simplify things as much as possible. 3. I assume you have a bit more free space pn the drive than the image requires? [/QUOTE]
