That&#x27;s the thing though: it could be hardware failure (or software failure unrelated to TM, like the power surge&#x2F;writing glitch that journaling can&#x27;t fix etc).<p>He just says there were errors on the disk and that 3 disk utils couldn&#x27;t fix them. Nothing of that translates to that the error was TM&#x27;s fault, so it makes no sense blaming it.<p>If the disk had issues, they would have also affected any other backup software.
