[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1946938, member: 204485"] eicca, unless you have encrypted your new mini, and that's easy to do unintentially at setup, my suggestion is the same method I have always used for TM backup problems; erase and reformat your external backup and start afresh. Alternatively buy a new dedicated EHD (External Hard Drive) for your new Mini. On connecting it you will be asked if you want to use it for TM and clicking Yes will format the EHD appropriately for TM and choose it for your backups. Having said that, I have been using the same EHD for my TM backups for years on both Intel and now Silicon MacBook Pros's but I do erase and reformat yearly. [/QUOTE]
