Here's the latest for backupd but its from Dec 19. I know I've
attempted to backup several times since then. I wonder why there
is
no log for those failed attempts? The second log is posted after
this.

The reported process is "Finder". Is this truly a backupd crash log?

Unfortunately it doesn't give us a lot f clues as to why the Finder
crashed.

Have you tried creating a new Mac OS X user account and backing up
from
it to see if the problem is confined to one user account?

Good point. Never thought of that. I'll have to dig up another hard
drive for the Time Machine and try it. If I use the same hard drive I
would think all my previous data would be wiped out.

Are you sure about that?? I'm pretty sure it would simply back up the
new user account along side the existing backup data.

Really....I guess that would make sense since TM must have been
designed with multiple users in mind. I'm not a single user so I
never thought about that. :) Thanks - once again.

Time Machine doesn't backup individual accounts, it backs up the entire
disk.

I don't think it even runs under your personal account, it runs as a
system service. The only thing you do in your account is modify the
preferences and you can trigger a backup with the "Back Up Now" menu
item.

Ah...so the other account is already backed up. So no matter what
account I use TM backs up the entire thing. Of course. Makes sense.
