Hmmm, what you may try first if you have not done so, is to delete the
sparse bundle which is the bundle with the name of your machine. Try
this and if that fails, I'd have to concur that reformatting might be
in order. I don't know how long you've had the unit, but it's unlikely
defective and there is no flaw in the software I'm aware of and that's
not to say there aren't flaws, but none that I can recall causing this
issue. I've been using my Time Capsule for a while with good success.
Btw, what you may wish to do is for the first backup, plug your Mac
into the TIme Capsule via cable. To backup any significant data,
especially for the initial backup, will take an incredibly long time
and could cause the backup to get possibly hosed do to interference.
Not again to say it would trash the backup, it's just the probability
goes up with such a large backup.

Hi Scott, having an issue where Time machine is stuck on preparing
backup for the longest time. Was looking at some of the discussion
forums on the apple website,and they had suggested reformatting
the Time Capsule's drive, , and to do a totally fresh backup, so
that makes me wonder if it's a flaw in the Time Capsule, or whether
it's something to do with Time Machine?

Sorry, I must have missed the post. WHat problem are you having
with backing up to your Time Capsule. Yes, Superduper is a good
product and does give you full and daily backups.

Hi all, since I'm having that issue in backing up to a time
capsule which I posted about earlier, would it actually be better
to use SuperDuper? I've heard a lot of good things about it.
