I've rarely had any problems with Time Machine on a 4th gen Time Capsule. However after upgrading from Ventura to Sonoma 14.5, TM just sits there saying "connecting to backup disk…" and never progresses.
What I haven't tried is removing the TC and adding it again as a backup volume. Would it recognize the existing backups and pick up from where it left?
Any ideas appreciated.
- When I enter TM it shows – not surprisingly – no backup history.
- Looking at a Finder window I can see the TC in the sidebar and it shows it as connected. Disconnecting and re-connecting doesn't help.
- I've tried the usual restarts of both the Mac and TC to no avail.
