It's done this a few times now. I get an eror message something along the lines of "Time Machine failed to back up". Now as far as I can tell it only does this when the machine is sleeping as I have just come home and the message is there.

After a quick search on the apple forums there seems there is no answer for this.

There is space left on the drive so it can't be that the drive is full. Would time machine be affected if a file was in use that it was trying to back up as I have EyeTV recording most of the time.

Any Ideas? It works fine if I do a manual backup.
 
Hmm mine is a standard drive in a caddy. I presume its not just the fact that I have my mac set to sleep?
 
Ahh well, Ill try an other external drive for a few days. If the problem is still there I suppose I will just have to live with it.
