Running intel iMac with Leopard and external HD devoted to time machine. Was working fine until a few days ago.

Now the little icon for time machine is spinning, but not backing up. Not getting any error messages. In 8 hours says it has backed up 13K of data.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Jeff

What version of Leopard(10.5.3, 10.5.7, etc.)?

If you open the Console and look at All Messages there may be some helpful information as to what is (and isn't) happening.

Also, see if this article applies to you.

Jack,
Thanks for the reply. Running 10.5.6

I did look at that article, doesn't look like it applies.

10.5.7 has time machine fixes.

It would help also if you can post any time-machine related log entries from the Console.
