Lion. Based on Drobo testing and the feedback we've received from our customers, we recommend updating to 10.7.2. In some environments you might experience a performance improvement after the update. It is understood that there is a very high likelihood thatthe original Time Machine (TM) share can be mounted using Finder, via Server Message Block (SMB), time machine drobo 5d but may have difficulty mounting with AppleTalk Filing Protocol (AFP). For information on how to manually mount your shares with Finder, see KB #464: Manually Connecting Drobo FS/Pro FS/B800fs Shares (AFP or SMB).

Partition Drobo
been using my Drobo S as a time machine backup for about almost a year with incident. At the beginning of November I received a message that "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk. The problem may be temporary. Try again later to backup." As trying again later never worked, I started a dialogue http://support.drobo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/612/~/after-upgrading-firmware,-my-original-time-machine-share-is-having-problems. with Drobo support to see if it could be something with the machine. After a lot of troubleshooting it became clear that it wasn't the Drobo - furthermore, it seems that other people who have had similar issues have had them because of something with time machine. I was hoping someone might be able to start me on the course towards figuring this all out. Thanks.

It's fine as far as it goes, but doesn't offer so much as a clue about what to do if it isn't temporary.See #C3 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

I have started using the widget but it seems that there are many files that are stopping the backup. So far they all seem to do with either Final Cut Pro or Adobe product files which is a little strange.

from the Adobe Community Summit I knew there were a couple of things I had to do. Getting a bit of rest and hanging out with my wife and http://www.aaronwest.net/blog/index.cfm/2008/5/18/A-Fix-for-Time-Machines-Backup-Failure son were at the very top of the list. Closer to the bottom was plugging my MBP into a power brick in order to backup my computer to my Time Capsule. Little did I know https://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/time-machine-with-drobo-backup-crashes-570007/ it wasn't going to be as easy as usual.After plugging in and initiating the backup, Time Machine took over 20 minutes to prepare the data - it simply displayed "Preparing data" for what seemed like time machine ages. Finally, it finished the prepare data phase and displayed how much data it was backing up, about 5.3 GB. I'm simply amazed that one weeks worth of work could generate 5.3 GB of changed data. Realizing it was going to take Time Machine quite a while to copy 5.3 GB wirelessly to the Time Capsule I shut the MBP's screen about 80% of the way and decided to return drobo time machine to the living room to do other things.A few hours later I came back to my MBP to see the following message:First, many thanks to Apple for giving me a useful error message I could do something about. Pfff. I tried several things to get Time Machine working again including rebooting, reconnecting to the Time Capsule, and simply restarting the backup process. All failed with the same error message.After hitting up Google for answers (Google always seems to have answers you know) I found a few posts on the MacCast forums that seemed promising. A user by the name of "karinlord" deserves credit for the right set of steps to mitigate this problem.I believe my problem started when my computer decided to sleep in the middle of the backup process. I am unsure if this occurred because of my systems preferences or whether I actually shut the computer lid enough to force it to sleep. Regardless, Time Machine seems to freak out if it gets interrupted during the backup process. When this happens several files and folders are left on your backup volume that deter any subsequent backups.To get Time Machine going again, you need to remove the errant files with the following steps:Ensure your backup device
