Hi,
I've been using TM with an external USB 2 drive for some months now, but as of last night, the drive icon wasn't turning to the green TM icon.
I've reselected the drive in TM prefs, which temporarily sorts the problem, but as soon as I disconnect and re-attach the drive, the icon remains orange.
I've also noticed (although this may have been going on for a while) that before the actual backup, TM creates an .inProgress file. Each subsequent backup deletes the existing .inProgress, but creates a new one, again, it always appears before the actual backup.
Strangely, the .inProgress file is EXACTLY THE SAME SIZE as the immediately following backup created thereafter.
Anyone know why this is happening? Is it that my external drive can't keep up with the SSD in my Air?
TIA,
Si.
