![]() I rebooted IMAC and reset the drive and the drive again showed but has been unreadable, unmountable (although mounted) and I cannot copy files to it or see my backup, but disk utility does show it has the files and the 1.29TB available. I checked WD drive manager and it reported the drives failed "contact support". I ran time machine setup the drive and started a backup, the backup progressed (over 5 hours) to 711GB and 2.1M files but failed at the final hurdle stopping the backup with no error message but IMAC unmounted the drive. So I downloaded the WD drive manager Software latest v3 (have not been using the WD woftware for over 18months), and set the drives into Raid 0, made a new partition and the drive showed as a 2TB drive. I was running the Mybook as 1 1TB drive (2x 1TB in Raid 1 mirrored|) I wanted to change to striped 2x1TB to make a 2TB backup drive Raid 0. Thus I decided to reformat/erase the Mybook. ![]() However in April backups failed and I could not get time machine to use the backup that existed on the drive even though i could see all the files. After using mybook and time machine successfuly for 5 years and having upgraded through the new releases upto mavericks backups have been fine. My IMAC (10.9.2) developed a problem using time machine at the begining of april.
