Hi there,
My co-worker just purchased a new hard drive (1 TB CalDigit AVDrive) and we are trying to set up his Time Machine. He previously had Time Machine running on his iMac, but the hard drive was being used by two computers and got too full.
The issue comes when we try and run the backup. It always gets stuck about 30% through the backup and then freezes. He has to fully restart the computer because Finder freezes and won't properly relaunch.
System Preferences has the correct drive selected and we have tried erasing and reformatting the hard drive, as well as verifying and repairing both the external and internal hard drives, all to no avail.
Again, the external drive is brand new and seems to be working fine, so I have my doubts it's an issue with the drive, though I could be wrong there. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.
