Q: my passport not backing up
Passport for Mac is plugged into USB port on MacBook Pro Yosemite. Shows up on desktop. Can open and see past backups, but it is not backing up. Worked last month. At first didn't even show up on desktop but restarted and now am at this situation.
30 minutes later--after three tries of ejecting and starting it is finally working--any idea why this might happen?

Well yes you have to have it plugged in for the hourly. There are local snapshots that get stored on your computer- storage space dependent.
About Time Machine local snapshots - Apple Support
A Time Capsule (WiFi) makes these backups more seamless.
