    The same problem even i am facing. On my system the local backups is working fine, but the problem is with network backup, it is not backing any thing on the network. I started getting this problem from the last 4 days. I have also got original leopard OS to see my network drive, but it is not working. So can any one help me in this problem. I am currently open to suggestion, so if any then provide me. Thank you.

    Well i am providing you a solution you can try this out. I tried the following things on my system.I first deleted the com.apple.TimeMachine.plist from the system Library on my system and after that i restarted my system. Then it asked the Time Machine that, which disk to use. After doing that all the worked well for me and all my back ups are still on the same place. I hope that if you try it out, then it will definitely help to you.

    Even i was getting the same problem. I went to the TM control panel and just clicked on the "choose disk" button. After doing that i chose the the same disk again. Suddenly i was shocked because the disk icon changed back to the green TM disk icon and fortunately it started backing up on my system. Even i was not having the idea that it will work but fortunately it has worked for me. So i will recommend you to try this issue and see the difference you get after trying thsi solution. I hope that your problem will get solved after trying this solution.
