Can't Backup to Time Machine with Snow Leopard

[Jetheat]

I have a Apple Time Capsule which is used as a Time Machine Backup Facility and also a Wireless Hub for File Sharing and Internet Connection.

I've been using Leopard for a couple of years without any significant problems.

The other day, I installed Snow Leopard and suddenly, I'm facing a number of different problems and errors regarding backups to the Time Machine with the Time Capsule.

First, I was facing problems with a Case Sensitive error and now that I have ejected the Time Capsule, the Disk Utility has come up with a different name altogether and now I have the added problem of disk space on the time capsule.

I know I could re-format and start over but that would defeat the whole point of my backups.

The Time Machine/Capsule should re-write over the old backups when making space for new ones but its just giving me an error about not enough disk space.

Anyone know how to fix these problem(s)?

The Disk Utility thing is NOT a different name for the disk. What you're looking at is a disk image on the disk, with that name. As for your other problem, my first suggestion is to look at recent Console logs for the backupd process, which handles Time Machine backups. That'll tell you what's going on behind the scenes. For instance, I once had a similar issue. I had to open up the disk image and manually delete the .inProgress backup that failed, then all was normal again.

ok, the disk space error seems to have gone but how do I solve the Case Sensitive error?

See attached.

When I look at the console (after initiating a backup), I get this:

18/Feb/2010 18 Feb - 15:57:15 com.apple.backupd[9589] Filesystem of Backup of Jet's iMac is case sensitive, but the backup disk is not.

I also get this:

Any idea what this means and what I can do?
