Time Machine backup verification failed - again. Any suggestions for cause and cure?
Time Capsule is set up for Time Machine backups from two iMacs. Backup verification failed on late 2009 iMac on 23 March necessitating deletion of TM history and creation of a new backup. Verification failed again today (7 April)! Apple Support states that “scheduled verification happens automatically”. What is default period for automatic scheduled verification? Can this be edited by user? I initiated a user backup verification on the second iMac (late 2012) and it passed the test OK. (Relief!) Had no Apple messages re availability of Time Capsule firmware updates. Now operating as version 7.6.4. Older installed archive versions available are 7.6.3 and 7.6.1. TC network connection is WiFi for 2009 iMac and Ethernet for 2012 iMac. Ethernet failed on 2009 iMac in Dec 2012, and has been operating on WiFi ever since.
