Can’t assign disk image permissions!

Make sure that “AFP UNIX Permissions” are active on the Time Machine backup volume to prevent access by everyone.

Resolution 1:

On the unmounted image, try running the following commands:

sudo chown -R root:admin /Users/Shared/test.sparsebundle

and then

sudo chmod -R =rw,+X,g=u,o=u /Users/Shared/test.sparsebundle



Resolution 2:

Try mounting the sparse bundle, and then run the following commands on the root directory of the mounted image:

sudo chown root:admin /Volumes/test_sparse

Tyler
