Hope you guys can help me with this one

Mar 18 10:35:11 d54C18B21 /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[237]: Backup failed with error: 18

Mar 18 10:41:56 d54C18B21 /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[305]: Backup failed with error: 18
.
I've tried erasing, renaming, fixing permissions, deleting com.apple.timemachine.plist, reselecting disk. It has been a few weeks since I did my last update but nothing major changed in my OS so I'm stunned.

Thx for the help in advance

Same deal bud

I don't know if it's normal but I cannot repair permissions on any of the USB volumes (Storage, Tiger and Time Machine)
Mind you, I didn't have any probs a few weeks ago.

do you see the error 35 in your logs? if so, try with this

No error 35 as far as I can tell, just above error and in Time Machine prefs it says that it cannot find backup volume.

Like it keeps searching for previous backups.

Another error in console:

"failed to get MAC address for machine"

My net works though and Ethernet tab shows adress.

any ideas?

I have this issue too, it seems to be an issue with the MAC address that cannot be found indeed. flexlm has that too, so e.g. maple won't activate.

Those with a working time machine could you please share the IONetworking and SMBIOS kext you are using, thx.
