Time Machine Protection: /bin/mkdir attempted to make unauthorized changes to your backups and was b
On my iMac, Bitdefender periodically reports the following: Time Machine Protection: /bin/mkdir attempted to make unauthorized changes to your backups and was blocked
I backup my MacBook Pro to an external drive on my iMac using Time Machine.
My time machine backups on my MacBook Pro periodically report that "Time Machine completed a verification of your backups. To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you.". This results in a weeks worth of recreating the time machine backup from scratch.
What causes the "/bin/mkdir" messages?
Is it possible that this is causing my backups to periodically start over?
Thanks,
phil

Hello,
Please be informed that /bin/mkdir/ shouldn't access Time Machine backups, thus, it is legitimately blocked. This doesn't mean that there's a malicious action.
Regarding the fact that Time Machine is creating back-ups periodically, please check if you have any available space on the disk or if the disk is corrupt.
We recommend you to contact Apple for more details.0 -
I have the same thing happening to me, even after erasing my TimeMachine 8TB disk... How can I fix this?
