I am getting this error code. What should I do at this point? I am hesitant to erase history, but if that is what I have to do ... what are my steps from there? TIA.
If I needed something from the history, I’d restore a copy of it now. Then I’d erase the backup history and start again. For me, backup history is nice to have but rarely needed.
