[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1851961, member: 396914"] For DU to do a repair, the drive has to be unmounted. But I suspect TM has it locked to prevent the drive being unmounted. Stop TM, then see if the drive will unmount. But if you have to leave soon, I would either take it with you to do later, or put it off until when you have time. A full 2TB drive will take a long time to check and repair. [/QUOTE]
