I have four Mac Laptops backing up to a current gen time capsule for about a year now.

Three laptops back up fine but my rMBP started giving me the "the backup disk cannot be found" error when it attempts to backup to the Time Capsule. The rMBP backups fine to a mini server and a local disk (I have three backup disks defined). I can mount the timecapsule disk as well as the rMBP sparse image from the finder.

Its a current generation time capsule with 7.7.3 firmware and my rMBP is OS 10.9.5 (so are the other Macs). The time capsule disk is near full. I have a wireless connection to both the mini server and TC. The TC is also the household router

Before I start digging and potentially blow away the TC backup I wanted to check in here. I don't see anything specific in my search here or in online guides, perhaps a few similarities, but the sparse image is found and can be mounted via the finder.... didn't see anything for this case.

The TC and rMBP have been restarted a few times.
