Hi, I have 3 Macbooks in my house all attached to a Time Capsule for backing up. One (MB1) has been backing up VERY reliably since 2009 when it was first attached, the other two (MB2 and MB3) I thought were backing up reliably since their connection in early 2012 but on closer inspection, it is not the case.
MB1 is an SL (10.6.8) White Macbook, the other two are both 10.5.8 (Leopard) Black Macbooks. Connection was easy when MB2 and MB3 were attached and I thought they were backing up reliably ever since they were connected and I was confident as MB1 was so reliable. Just the other day I noticed MB2 was not backing up so I took interest to watch it go through the process. It starts by "preparing backup" then responds with "The backup disc image could not be mounted". In Finder on MB2 I am able to see "....Time Capsule" in the devices panel, but when selected, the sparesebundle does not appear as they do when doing this on the other two MB's. The "Modified" date on the MB2 Sparesebundle when checked from the other MB's is in fact the same date it was fist set up - so it's done nothing the whole time since January 2012. How do I reset it to effectively start from scratch - as no backups have occurred in any case, there is no backup to loose. I done some navigating around to try it all over but still no effect.
