I am starting this thread because I have seen many people with similar issues on other sites and no real good solution proposed.
The problem relates to timemachine suddenly being unable to acces the backup disk (in my case timecapsule 1Gb) because the disk is apparently in read-only access.
Typically a message appears at each backup attempt that says "The backup disk is read only"
The only effective solution to start backup again is to delete the backup sparsedisk and start again.
Now this is not a great solution, because if you have backups it is to be able to return to them. Deleting the sparsedisk litterally deletes your backup capabilities and resets them to zero.
Apparently the problem is due to sparsedisk technicallity. Now this would mean that apple is not capable of writing a decent, reliable, file i/o system for their own in-house backup solution. This would be real deplorable.
Anyway, I have successfully mounted the sparsedisk and run disk utility repair on it. I did not fix the problem but it yielded the following message "Invalid sibling link" before it stopped.
Can anyone provide some help that does not involve deleting the backup disk.
