Linkstation Pro and Time Machine Error (Snow Leopard)
« on: September 11, 2009, 05:19:50 PM »
   

Hello

 

I just got a new LinkStation Pro (LS-XHL, 1TB) and run Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro.  I have now tried several times to use Time Machine with it, but keep getting "The backup disk image “.....sparsebundle” could not be created (error 45)".  Anyone any ideas what is going wrong?  One of the reasons I got this drive was to use Time Machine, so am not best pleased at the moment ....

 

Thanks for any help / advice / info!

   Very interesting.  I was just about to purchase one of these from Amazon when I saw it supports TimeMachine.  Now I won't until I see that it really works and isn't a fight to get it going.

I have the same error code coming up when tryig to use Timemachine with a LS-CHL Linkstation.

 

Have followed the user manual instructions, but no joy.

 

Any solutions from Buffalo? :smileyhappy:

Make sure you have 'Disk Backup' checked in your Time Machine Shared Folder Screen.  That did the trick for me.

Checked the "Disk backup" radio button, but still not working.

 

Does it matter if you are backing up over wireless instead of wired network. I know it takes longer.

 

I used the MAC address for the wireless when setting up the Target MAC address.

 

Thanks

Even if you are backing up over wireless, you need to use the ethernet (not airport) MAC address for the target MAC address.

Still No luck. Error Message: The backup disk image “/Volumes/TIMEMACHINE/CLG.sparsebundle” could not be created (error 45)

Don't know what to do next. Any advice/tips?

I'm running Snow Leopard and am using a Linkstation Live version 2.

 

I have just upgraded the firmware to 1.21 and am still getting the error

 

The backup disk image "..." could not be created (error 45)

 

I could see Time Machine creating a temp sparse bundle file but the process failed.

 

Does the Network machine name have any bearing on this?  My Machine name has three words with spaces.

 

Your devotion is appreciated.

 

Kind regards
