Hello,

I'm also receiving this error. It stops at about 1/6th of the backup (~20 GB of ~120 GB). It stops at the same file here:

/Users/<myusername>/Library/IdentityServices/ids.db-wal

I've attempted to:

- repair in recovery mode, and try the back up again
- deleted and started a new backup file
- cleared space on my MacBook Air (thinking maybe it was running out of memory making the copy?)

I've done the above, rebooting, and repairing, to ensure I have the most space available and nothing else running while the backup is going on.

I'm not sure what else I can do to get the backup to work.

Help please!
