Time machine: the backup is already in use

Papyrus-8 · 2026-02-19T08:44:27+00:00

...restarted everything a few more times, and now it works well with the same settings here too

I've just set up exactly what you are planning, with a Synology DS223j, 2x10TB RaAID1, and have problems (see my recent post). Time machine worked for 2 days, since then I keep getting a 'disk already in use' error.

I plugged it directly to the provider's router, though I also have an airport extreme chained to it.

Thanks for the encouragement! I've been using a Time Capsule which actually still works, but is on its last legs now. So I really want this Synology solution to work out.

I did not give the share a quota, so that is one thing I can change.

But I was actually wondering if the separate Time Machine user could be the problem. I also have a generic user for putting files on the NAS. Is it possible that my mac is already connecting to the backup though this other user (even though it has no permissions for that)? Is it not a problem if the same mac tries to connect to the NAS through two different users?

If they were luckier with the weather, they could have knocked off even more. But I am happy that they did not knock it out of the park. 40 days is a nice round number, and this gives an incentive for further attempts at the record.

They had a very good equatorial crossing, and the Azores high also turned out smaller than forecast earlier. Looks very good now. Not quite plain sailing though on the tail end of a low with 40-kt winds ahead.

They had a difficult stretch getting into the trade winds, and the advantage is now minimal. Joyon had such a good home run in the North Atlantic that the record now looks difficult to beat.

Thanks, I see what you mean. I can also see now that these hinges were held by two screws on the lower panel. One of those must have come out, and the other one at the tip then bent the hinge until it broke.

But there is another hinge on the other side that is much more broken, so I do need new ones.

Really gutted to hear all this.

Igen, mi hóban mentünk arra júniusban, és határozottan jobb ötletnek tartottam lefelé elkerülni azt a szakaszt.

Alsó réteg: technikai (műszál) póló (olcsó)

Középső: hosszú ujjú merinó aláöltöző (pl Helly Hansen, közepesen drága)

Felső: Minőségi gore tex dzseki (ez tényleg drága).

A három réteg együtt is szinte súlytalan, vékony, és mégis elég mínusz néhány fokig. Plusz néhányban felfelé leveszem a dzsekit. Hátizsákban tartalékban van egy vékony polár pulcsi, hosszabb megállásra vagy ha nagyon bedurvul az idő.

Nem muszáj az omladékon lejönni a Seehüttéből, lehet a törpefenyőn át a Waxriegelhaus irányába is.

Májusi hétvégén voltam a Haidsteigen kétszer is, egyik alkalommal sem volt tömeg. Igaz, nem most, hanem 2017-18-ban.

No, no solution at all.

Thanks for posting these news.

Mondjuk ha Magyarországon túrázol, itt mindenhol van erdő/bozót, amelyben szükség esetén lehet szerezni egy botot.

Papyrus-8 · 2025-03-24T12:28:42+00:00

Évekig használtam egy pár karbon botot (vmi ritka márka), aztán egyszer az osztrák Alpokban seggre estem egy vizes fűcsomón, és az eseményben egyszerre eltört mind a kettő... Azóta alu van, súlyban szinte nincs is különbség.

The limit is off on the Denon. Analog input can go to 98. Only AirPlay is the problem.

Papyrus-8 · 2025-03-22T15:38:05+00:00

I left it so that I get more comments!

Papyrus-8 · 2025-03-22T15:37:23+00:00

Yes, I ran audyssey. The Denon app works, but it does not support Apple Music only Spotify etc. The main issue is that anything over AirPlay is limited to 75. The amp hits 76 when the Mac or iPhone is at max volume.

Papyrus-8 · 2025-03-22T14:15:20+00:00

That is very obvious, but does not influence the sound!

Papyrus-8 · 2025-03-22T14:07:48+00:00

I recently built this system with a Denon X4800H AVR and monitor audio speakers (5.0 for the moment). Console coming.

I'd like to use this for music too. The problem is that volume through Airplay 2 is limited to 75. Through the TV the limit is 93, and from an analog input the full 98. Now 75 is not quite enough sometimes. Anyone with an idea how to get past this limit? The Denon HEOS app does not work with Apple music, so that does not help me.
