I have local snapshots enabled and the Mobilebackups-disk shows up in Volumes. I also can access the "Star wars"-Time Machine-thing when no external backup-disk is connected. When I run the "tmutil snapshot"-command in the terminal I don't get an error code.
So far so good.
The problem is that when I try to force a local snapshot nothing happens. The MobileBackups remains empty and I don't get a white line in Time Machine.
Don't know if this is normal but the MoblieBackups-disk shows 0 MB free and 499.2 GB used. (499.2GB is the whole capacity of my startup disk)
When the external backup disk is not connected and I run "tmutil latestbackup" I get "Unable to locate machine directory for host." and "tmutil machinedirectory" gives me "No machine directory found for host."
I assuming that if I had a successfull local snapshot those commands would had pointed to that
I've tried to disable and enable local snapshots but that haven't helped.
Here's the Console-messages when enabling local snapshots and trying to force a snapshot.
By the way, thats the deal with the StartupItems-folder not existing?
