I need help getting files off a time machine backup. Here's the time machine sparsebundle info: image-path : /Volumes/Backblaze_MacEx4TB43084955/Backblaze Restore/rawTimeMachine/TimeMachine.sparsebundle image-alias : /Volumes/Backblaze_MacEx4TB43084955/Backblaze Restore/rawTimeMachine/TimeMachine.sparsebundle shadow-path : /Users/michael/sparse.dirty shadow-alias : /Users/michael/sparse.dirty icon-path : /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskImages.framework/Resources/CDiskImage.icns image-type : sparse bundle disk image (shadowed) system-image : false blockcount : 7300000040 blocksize : 512 writeable : TRUE autodiskmount : false removable : TRUE image-encrypted : false mounting user : michael mounting mode : <unknown> process ID : 18184 /dev/disk9 GUID_partition_scheme /dev/disk9s2 48465300-0000-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC /dev/disk9s1 C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B bash-3.2#
Time machine volume is attached as shadowed, because it was backed up as dirty (it was mounted, so, of course it would be dirty). On that backup is this: bash-3.2# mount /dev/disk0s5 on / (hfs, local, journaled) devfs on /dev (devfs, local, nobrowse) /dev/disk0s4 on /Volumes/UserData (hfs, local, journaled) /dev/disk1 on /Volumes/Macintosh HD (hfs, local, journaled) map -hosts on /net (autofs, nosuid, automounted, nobrowse) map auto_home on /home (autofs, automounted, nobrowse) /dev/disk3s2 on /Volumes/Reinstall (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, journaled, noowners) /dev/disk6s1 on /Volumes/calibre-3.48.0 (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, read-only, noowners, mounted by michael) /dev/disk2s2 on /Volumes/rawKleimanMovies (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, journaled, noowners) /dev/disk2s3 on /Volumes/rawTimeMachine (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, noowners) /dev/disk4s2 on /Volumes/TimeMachine (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, journaled, mounted by michael) /dev/disk5s2 on /Volumes/Kleiman Movies (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, journaled, mounted by michael) /dev/disk7s0s2 on /Volumes/WD Unlocker (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, read-only, noowners) /dev/disk8s2 on /Volumes/Backblaze_MacEx4TB43084955 (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, journaled, noowners) bash-3.2# diskutil mount disk9s2 Volume on disk9s2 failed to mount bash-3.2# diskutil repairvolume disk9s2 Started file system repair on disk9s2 TimeMachine Checking file system Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume Detected a case-sensitive volume Checking extents overflow file Checking catalog file Invalid sibling link Rebuilding catalog B-tree The volume TimeMachine could not be repaired Volume repair complete Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required Error: -69845: File system verify or repair failed Underlying error: 8: POSIX reports: Exec format error bash-3.2# In other words, the sparsebundle has a file system error. I could only access it with hdiutil attach -nomount. That let me get to the point of running fsck, but fsck complains. I only need read access, I do not need write access. How do I restore files from the sparse bundle? _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com https://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
