Backup failed with error: 11 Posted on 13/8/2008, 12:11 am, by Colin Charles, under General. Got the dreaded "Backup failed with error: 11" with Time time machine error 11 fix Machine. Actually, I only got the dreaded message from the Console -
Time Machine Error 43
the application itself, just kept failing silently with no suggestions (Apple, this is your cue to make time machine error 41 Time Machine a little more useful). Nothing in Apple's knowledgebase. Nothing seemingly useful come up in a Google search (i.e. something conclusive) Solution? Delete:

Of course the odd issue after a machine has been rebuilt, but thats the perfect time to start it over again. My wife's MacBook Air has been backing up since the day we got the unit. She has an oldest backup of Apr 11th 2008. Al Look in Activity Monitor and see if ATSServer is grabbing lots of CPU. If it is, your problem is not your respective backup drives; it is a combination of SpotLight not having had your external drives added to exclusion lists and ATSServer trying to do font substitution on PDF documents. Turn both off an you'll be better placed to diagnose the error - but it's usually this. Just poor design, and why they don't fix this long standin

This error usually shows up if there is a problem in copying some damaged directory of files in you Mac, so the first thing which need to be checked is with your logs and time machine try to find out which file has failed to get backed up and try to exclude that folder or file then your backup should work without any issues. Sometimes the indexing which was previously done with the Spotlight application might cause the problem of giving the backup failed error. So just try to reset your Sportlight application to reindex all the files and then try starting the Time Machine backup time machine error which should make it work without any issues. Try the Apple hardware test with your Mac and check if some error is showing up if so then you need to fix those which might be the major cause for the backup problem too. If you are not able to do that then try to reach the nearby apple centre to get it fixed as soon as possible.

Hi................, Time machine app fails when it is unable to copy paste some data. If data is corrupt and fails to copy . Reset sportlight application to re index all the files. You can try hardware reset. You can also do system factory setting.

Backup failed with error: 11 Categories Configuration Tags Diskutil Time Machine Mac OS Thank you apple for this informative error message. What happens is that my backup hangs after approx 10 GB, which sucks a bit since I have lots of more data that needs to be backed up regularly :) So I've spent a few days searching for related information regarding howto's and workarounds solving this error and the most common solutions where Fix your disk permissions and reboot. This one didn't help me at all sudo diskutil repairPermissions / Rename your computer, if your computer name contains bad characters that is. Well, my computer name "mini" should have passed and renaming it to "tvdator" wasn't the solution either Repartition and format the time machine backup drive, make sure to use GUID Partition Table. This didn't solve my problem either Disable spotlight indexing of the time machine drive. Still no. My setup was actually a bit more advanced than a usual desktop system. I have a Leopard Server 10.5.something that needs to be backed up since I'm moving all functionality to another Leopard server. This includes the iCal Server, DNS, Mail Server, Open Directory etc. The basics are still the same though. Figuring it out Well, i made some deep diving in the system.log file and found error messages like this Aug 7 13:47:55 herlitz /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[3524]: Error: (-36) SrcErr:NO Copying /System/Library/Frameworks/Python. framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/PyObjC/objc/test/ test_methods2.py to /Volumes/Backup of mini/Backups.backupdb/ tvdator/2009-08-07-113449.inProgress/88342F77-7636-4A95-B6C1- B42767AC0954/mini/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/PyObjC/objc/test Ta' Well, I just dis
