I have an AirPort Extreme Base Station with a USB disk attached to it for wireless backups. Most of the time, everything works as expected, but I sporadically get the following error:

"Time Machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk image “/Volumes/Time Machine (Brian's MacBook Pro)/Brian's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use"

Whenever I see this error, all I have to do is restart the Base Station (via AirPort Utility), and everything is back to normal. But it's a hassle... any advice on how to fix this?
