+Time Machine Sparsebundle Fix
+
+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.
+
+  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/
+
+It is based off a guide written by Garth Gillespie at http://www.garth.org/archives/2011,08,27,169,fix-time-machine-sparsebundle-nas-based-backup-errors.html
+It is also a modified version of http://pastebin.com/iw5nYFb0 - credit goes to anon.
