Mac:Time Machine

From SASDocs

So we had some issues with time machine not be able to finish backing up. If you look at the system.log file ("sudo grep backupd /var/log/system.log" will give you just time machine messages) it was getting hung up on files with acl permissions. To look at a file's acl settings you use "ls -le"

to remove the acl permissions you use "chmod -R -N "filename or folder name""

you can read more about it with "man chmod"

oh, and time machine = software on the mac time capsule = router with a hdd to use as the backup volume
