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

Hmmm, I recall posting something similar in this thread previously.

I'm in snow leopard too.

I have the same error message.

I had this problem, and it was infuriating - but for me it ended up being a simple fix - my network computer name had two spaces in it - instead of entering the computer name as john doe's macbook (with spaces in it), I ended up using john_doe and dropping the "macbook" or "imac" extension from the network name.  The key was using the underscore...Hope this works for y'all. (Buffalo if you're reading this, this is not listed in your setup documentation anywhere...)

It still not work when I changed my network ID.

But I read a solution from here:  http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090905212640957

You can try it ,I did nothing but copy a files (com.apple.TimeMachine.MachineID.plist.)include my mac's UUID into the Time machine diskimage,My timemachine was running!~~~~~

The key was telling your mac what's your UUID....Hope this works for y'all.

My Link Station Pro LS-XHL is running firmware version: 1.10 and I am running SL 10.6.4 on my MacPro and I am also receiving the above mentioned error.

After much searching on this forum  and implementing the workaround solutions suggested above I still receive this same error.

So far I  have tried the manual solution of creating the sparshbundle file and also tried to remove all and add access restrictions to the target backup folder to see if this made any difference. Still no success. Would you suggest I update the firmware on the Link Station Pro? If so what version should it be?

Any otter suggestions as to how I can resolve this issue?
