Hello!
I've been backing up my MacBook pro to a disk connected to my Mac Mini since I got the MBP in late 2021. However, my last successful backup was 12/22/2022, well over a month ago. Now, while the network disk is accessible, I've even removed and re-added the time machine backup disk (time machine sees the disk, notices it has backups already, and asks me to sign in to the network share/disk, which I do), but nothing can get time machine to start a backup. it will sit for hours or even days as "connecting to backup disk..." in time machine preferences. The backups are also not accessible, entering time machine to retrieve files shows no snapshots, nothing to go back to.
I'm at my wit's end on this, the disk is healthy, the backups exist, but the machine won't backup or access them no matter what I do.
Currently running 13.0.1 on the MBP, and updated the Mac Mini to 13.2 yesterday. Will update the MBP as soon as I finish copying data from a possibly failing external disk to another external disk. Also currently running disk first aid on the disk from the MBP, it already came back clean from the Mac Mini it is directly attached to.
