I'm on a MacBook Pro with Mavericks and have been running Time Machine backups for years with no problems.
My external drive has 156 GB free. When I start the latest time machine backup it says it is backing up 47 GB. But the backup stops shortly after I start it, and the external drive appears to be ejected/unavailable. No explanation is given. When I click on time machine it tells me the most recent full backup is from 1 week ago.
I never get a message that the external drive is full, and technically it is not, but is that what is happening to me? Do I need to erase the drive or get a new one?
Thanks
