Hi,

Ever since I upgraded to the latest version of backmyfruitup nothing's
worked. Drobocapsule no longer shows up in finder and Time Machine
can't backup to it (it just says it can't find it).

I can attach to the drobo via SMB, and when browsing that way, I can
attache the sparsebundle.

I've tried all the fixed outlined in the "Common Problems" section of
the documentation with no success. I've also tried reinstalling.

Any other suggestions? Perhaps I've missed some other documentation?

Jeremy

You deleted all of the .Apple* folders? Generally that is the issue.

Yes, per the instructions executed the following command. Also ran it on the DroboCapsule folder:
cd /mnt/DroboShares/Drobo; rm -rf .AppleDB .AppleDesktop .AppleDouble


I noticed some .AppleDouble folders in other places, also deleted as many as I could find.

Yea those .apple dirs exist in other places too. Keep hunting.

I've searched the entire /mnt/ folder structure, removed all the .AppleDB/Desktop/Double files, and rebooted the DroboShare.  

Still no luck.  Any other suggestions?

Anything in your console.app logs?
