It shouldn’t matter that it’s an SSD. I have a 2011 Mac mini with an
installed SSD and it backs up fine. Have you removed all of the associated
disks from Time Machine and started from scratch?

Hi.
I purchased a Late 2012 Mac mini machine with a SSD drive installed which I
absolutely love using but for one problem I’ve not been able to solve as yet.
No matter what I try I cannot seem to be able to backup the the computer
using Time Machine, I always get a “Backup Failed” error.
I’ve tried various formats for the backup drive and even tried a WD Mycloud
drive on my network for the backup target, no joy.
Has anyone encounter this problem? I don’t really want to reinstall the OS
though if I can’t find any other way around this problem then reinstallation
is the obvious next choice as a solution.
