Hi Brian, My Time Machine backups have always been working perfectly in Mavericks, that has never been a problem. My post was about the Time Capsule / Time Machine backup not showing on the Desktop when Time Machine is backing up.
Do you use Time Machine to backup to a Time Capsule Data Disk... Or do you use Time Machine to backup to an external drive attached to your MBP?
