Sophos Free edition; OS X 10.6; Time Capsule; Time Machine Fails

Issue: Time Machine Backup fails irregularly on OS X 10.6;

Latest failure 3/11/2011; substance of Mac error message:

Network (via TC wireless)  Connection from iMac to Time Capsule: No Connection 

Attempting to understand, installed 

Time Machine Buddy which  points finger to Sophos Remove App

with a file index failure; My best information is from TimeMachine Buddy (a Dashboard widget)

(which I would include here if I knew how to  copy the widget Buddy report to a text file)

I am running Sophos 4.63, updated according to Sophos log file early march.

It is not clear that Sophos AV Free is the culprit here, I do not have a clear correlation.

Even so, before I uninstall Sophos AV Free, and see whether or not Time Machine

backups continue to fail: 

A) Anyone else with this problem? And a fix?

Thank you in advance

  • I haven't experienced the problem, but if you're getting a file index failure, you should probably run verify disk and repair disk permissions frim Disk Utility.  If verify disk shows errors, you'll need to either reboot in single user mode or boot from some other media and repair the disk.
