Oct 3, 2016 1:02 PM in response to Jenevieve Minelianby LaPastenague,The error is unusual and doesn't make sense.
What I would recommend is you
1. Ensure your Mac is not running any anti-virus software which has been shown to cause issues.
2. Mount the TC disk in finder and write a file to it .. this is to ensure you do actually have permissions to write.
3. Change the computer share name.. in preferences on the computer.
Reset the TC to factory.. no files are lost doing this.. redo the setup in airport utility with all short names.. no spaces and pure alphanumerics. Passwords the same.. but 8-20 characters.. names less than 10 characters please.
4. Start a new backup to the TC and see if it works.

You can choose to encrypt your backups, or not. Use Time Machine's Preferences.

WirelessYou cannot encrypt the TC disk.
What you can do is select in Time Machine to encrypt the backup. This is entirely different to encrypting the disk.
If the TM backup of encrypted disk requires you to encrypt the backup then you must select it.. That is the point of John's post.. but I am not sure why it forces you to do it. The option to not encrypt the backup should be available.
