SafeCopy connection lost

Posted on December 22, 2014 by erictummers

After a power failure (empty battery) with my MacBook the SafeCopy backup service wouldn’t run. On the SafeCopy Control Panel an error message would keep popping up.

Safecopy.connection.lost

The solution is to click Cancel and let the SafeCopy service quit. Then start SafeCopy again from the Launchpad. When this doesn’t work quit the SafeCopy service and reboot your machine. Now everything starts and runs.

Working in a DevOps team is the best thing that happened to me. I like challenges and sharing the solutions with others. On my blog I’ll mostly post about my work, but expect an occasional home project, productivity tip and tooling review.
