APPLE TIME MACHINE Operating Issue/Problem

I have an APPLE TIME MACHINE that made it's last functional backup, 856+ Days Ago according to daily notifications. I figure it's about time I to make TIME MACHINE functional again and get my MAC MINI backed-up. Rather than #out a lot of adjectives to confuse the issue, I have assembled a Technical Graphic showing Err Msg and Drop-Down Box Info and OS X Details in GOOGLE DRIVE LINK.

My Problem is TIME MACHINE is not working, and I need to know what to do to make it work again?

I've tried to attache Graphic directly, but it won't insert, but the Post does let me insert a LINK to the Graphic.

Any Timely Assistance would be appreciated.

Thank You.

Good answer Tesserax..

I just got my old square 1TB TC working again today to backup my laptop.

I had to update the firmware first.

I then just cleared the disk of all the old backups to start over again with a clean slate because it was full and could not access the old data anyway. You of course may or may not want to do this.

I'm assuming by "APPLE TIME MACHINE" you are referring to an Apple Time Capsule ... correct? That you were making Time Machine backups to this TC but the last one was over 2 years ago ... correct?

If you intended to include this link, it didn't happen.

Yeah, TIME MACHINE & TIME CAPSULE were synonymous w my Problem and I didn't clarify that. But as You ascertained that is the specific detail. Here's the GOOGLE LINK GRPAHIC: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Rxv3vF5mqbec6jgVvj3Bf2zSFmX1H0Gw/view, it would have made my Problem statement seems to be specifically w THE TIME CAPSULE.

Thank You for Your Response, particularly w the info on LINK not showing up, The Graphic itself is 3meg jpeg. Is there a limit to size of Graphic that can be inserted in a POST? I tried to include it directly in the POST, but like the LINK, it didn't happen. I'd appreciate it, if You'd let me know You were able to view the GOOGLE DRIVE LINK.

Thanks

Ok, to start, I can now view the graphic that you provided a link to. Thanks!

From what I can glean, you have an Asus router upstream of the TC and I'm assuming that it is your "main" Internet router ... correct? If so, then the TC is not configured properly and I can tell this by the fact that it is showing a "Double NAT" error in the screen image.

To rectify this, you just need to use the AirPort Utility to change the TC's Router Mode to: Off (Bridge Mode). See the image below:

PJ,

I also have to do as You suggested. However, I need to review what was backed-up about 2 Yrs ago, before I delete any BackUps. Also have to figure-out what I really need to BackUp rather than Backing-Up Every Thing to TC. Currently my 2 TB TC has only 141 Gig of Free Space.

And Tessarax, had the Right Solution @ the Right Time😅
