  • Time Machine problem

    From Martin S Taylor@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 5 12:33:10 2024
    When I return to my Mac and wake it from sleep, there's always a message
    saying it couldn't back up to Tiime Machine. Further probing gives this message:

    Time Machine did not finish backing up because some files were unavailable. Backups will resume when your Mac is unlocked.

    And it does, indeed backup properly as soon as the Mac is unlocked. Any idea what's going on, and how I can stop this?

    I had this - for me it was temporary and goes away eventually. How long has this been happening for? In my case, it was the creation of a new backup
    after quite a while (nearly a year). Was inheriting a backup from an older machine on my newer one.

    Cheers,

    It's been happening for a couple of weeks now. No new backups or any obvious changes to TM setup.
