I am facing a problem with Time Machine with my Time capsule. It was working fine till a got some error messages. First I got "error while copying backups" then I tried to fix the problem using Apple support info, and I got I new message saying that backup could not be completed because there is no enough space. I erased the Time Machine disk from Disk Utility, and the problem is still the same. Now I am getting message " This backup is too large" !

I tried this:
"1. In the Time Machine System Preferences, turn off Time Machine.
2. Access your backup volume and delete the current backup file. Note: you will be without a backup of your data until Time Machine recreates your current drive's backup. Your new "latest backup" will be for the initial backup you are about to complete.
3. Access: Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > com.apple.TimeMachine.plist and delete it.
4. In the Time Machine System Preferences, click "Change Disk..." and choose your backup volume.
5. Turn Time Machine on and let it complete its initial backup."

it did not work too !

Moreover, disk image called "boot osx" in shown on desktop while backing up and at the same time there is "Time Machine Backups" disk on desktop !!



Any ideas guys?
