Time Machine Sparsebundle Fix
Summary:

When Time Machine backs up to a NAS, it will often get corrupted and prompt a message saying,
“Time Machine completed a verification of your backups. To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you.”

This script fixes that issue so that Time Machine can continue using the existing backup.



Instructions:

1) First mount the backup drive share so that the sparcebundle is accessible.
2) Make sure the script has execute permissions: chmod +x fix_time_machine.sh
3) Run the script:
Usage - fix_time_machine.sh /Volumes/[BackupDrive]/[SparceBundle].sparsebundle/
