I am not sure what happened to my files. I used to be able to access them about a month or so ago, but now I am unable to. The error continues to say that they are unreadable. The backups are also now labeled as "sparsebundles". Please help
See if youcan Archive it...
Time capsule - internal disk needs repair - Apple Community
it might be worth a try to erase the drive using AirPort Utility to see if that will "repair" the drive.

Normally, you would not use Disk Utility with a Time Capsule at all.
In general, to check the integrity of your backup file(s) you would hold down the option key on your Mac while clicking on the Time Machine "clock" icon at the top of your Mac's screen.......and then select Verify Backups.
This is a process that checks to make sure that any files have not become corrupted. If a problem is detected, Verify Backups attempts to repair the files.
If you try this and the Verify Backups process cannot run, then the backup files were likely damaged previously. Nothing else to do at this point other than erase the Time Capsule disk and start over again with new backups of each Mac on the network.
I am not sure. What is the best way to tell? I guess aside from being unable to view my files. I may have messed something up when working in the Disk Utility
