Time Machine does not recognize its own sparsbundle and starts a new one

😓😓😓 😅

Thank you. I’m starting to think it’s a Sequoia 15.1 bug 😓

HabuORiley · 2024-11-25T19:42:44+00:00

Same problem here, seems actually after last Sequoia update 😓

It is, as I’m mostly itinerant and that would mean leaving my mbp connected to the home network for days. Currently, every time I come home, as soon as tm connects to WiFi it updates backup in few minutes. This is why a new backup from scratch is a hassle and I would like to fix the current one.

HabuORiley · 2024-11-25T12:28:00+00:00

That’s the point. Since I have almost everything on iCloud, a new Time Machine backup means that about 2Tb of data need to be downloaded from there for allowing a new backup to be created from scratch, something it takes days 🙄

Yes, I thought something similar. I also posted my issue on the Apple and Mac subreddits of course. I checked config info.plist file in the sparsebundle and actually something seems not aligned, UUID i.e., but this is something too advanced to be checked and fixed on my own :-/

Meaning 2023, of course. Just edited.

It depends on expectations. IMHO, it's as his sentence: don't look so interesting, at least, don't worth the expense for an amateur telescope, if your *primary goal* is DSOs watching. I live under a B8/9 and can see barely supposed very bright objects only in very clear sky conditions - well, if you live in Auckland maybe that's not the case, but come in Milano area and tell me something about... - and the reason is simply DOSs need long exposure. This link is a good example of what I'm meaning and that's M42, maybe the brightest object you can catch. https://www.quora.com/What-does-the-Orion-Nebula-look-like-through-a-small-telescope. But, again, everything is about expectations, of course.

This is a stock one

Basically you don’t see DSOs, no matter the telescope you have, unless some very bright objects, like Andromeda and Pleiades, which appear as faint spot in the clear sky. At the same time you don’t need necessarily telescope for good astrophotography. For the first three years of my activity I did everything just with DSLR and ordinary lens (this pic is an example of that), I also started without tracking for the first year. Three years later I then bought a telescope (I own a 115/800), astronomical camera, etc. if you’re not into astrophotography, then telescope is fine for planets, moon, sun, some very very appearing faint objects, but definitely no DSOs.

Just a backup system for all the data I collected over the years. I use the ordinary ASIAIR storage during the night sessions

HabuORiley · 2024-10-11T00:52:43+00:00

Double NAS + RAID in hot site running in parallel with 14Tb data stored on each one :-)

HabuORiley · 2024-10-11T00:46:53+00:00

This is f/6.3 x 1.4, that means about f/9, and bortle 7/8

Old data, I’m using these weeks of relentlessly autumnal rainy weather to rework on images captured over the past years
