No Time Machine backups b/c "sparsebundle not accessible" My Time Machine backups worked absolutely flawless (using a WD MyCloud with LAN connection to the iMac) with hourly updates until two days ago where I got the following message: "Time Machine could not complete the backup to "TimeMachineBackup". The image of the backup volume "iMac2.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error 19)." What does that mean, what is error 19? Why is it not accessible? And most important: What can I do now to get access again?! Big Thanks for any helpful advice!!

Time Machine Error 19 - sparesbundle could not be accessed I am getting an error when my Mac is trying to backup to my Time Machine - The backup disk image “MacBook Air.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error 19). I have a 2020 MacBook Air running Monterey 12.5.1. The back up begins but then stalls a few minutes in. I am backing up via wifi to a Time Capsule.
