Hi All,
Late 2010 MacBook Air running High Sierra.
For years I have run two TM backups, one to a Time Capsule over wifi and one to an external HD connected through USB.
About a month ago both stopped running backups. The last back up on both of the two drives was on the same date. The TM menu item gives that date as the last backup for both drives but also says (correctly) that the next one is scheduled within the hour.
When the backups run they both go through the 'preparing back up' stage and then start backing up, but very slowly (KBs at a time). Gradually they pick up speed and back up about 5-10 Mb then just stop, as though I had aborted. The TM menu just gives the next scheduled backup time as though the last one had been successful, but the last one is still recorded as a month ago.
I have verified the Time Capsule backup (no problem) and I have tried running a TM backup on each drive separately, having removed the other as a backup disk.
Something seems to have happened at the point when the last backups ran on each drive, but I am at a loss as to what else to try.
Would be grateful for any suggestions.
Thanks
