[QUOTE="--wa--, post: 559864, member: 44882"] [b]update[/b] I downloaded ibackup and ran it to the external drive. No problem. After I convinced time machine that the drive existed, it came around for the next hourly backup and started preparing and then began the backup. In short order, it put up a screen that said the computer must be rebooted. I had to erase the drive in order to get finder to see it again. When the drive was online again, I ran ibackup again and it worked fine. It appears to me that Time Machine is corrupting the drive while running. If anyone has any ideas about this, I'd be interested. But as is, I am going to abandon Time Machine. [/QUOTE]
