[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1945842, member: 396914"] Ok, thanks. I think what you may want is to go to Eclectic Light Company website ( [URL='https://eclecticlight.co/']The Eclectic Light Company[/URL] ) and get either The Time Machine Mechanic or Mints (both are free) from the downloads section. In the zip files will be the app, plus a brief document on how each works and what each does. Right after she sees the error, run one or the other (or both, if you want) to retrieve the log entries for Time Machine and look for what the file is that has the error. It should be in the log, somewhere. Once you see the file, you can decide what to do about it. EDIT: You can trust both of these apps from that website. The developer, Howard Oakley, is a well known expert on all things Mac. [/QUOTE]
