Disk First aid unable to correct error in time machine snapshots

MBP 15" 2017 OS 11.1

Glitchy performance, occasional freezes, buggy.

I ran Disk First Aid and got this

I ran DFA on the Container Disk as suggested, no joy. In the meantime, Time Machine stopped working only on the MBP. Other networked iMac's were fine. First I deleted any third party anti-virus, nothing changed. Then I deleted other third party programs, no joy. Finally deleted the MBP T M back up, deleted the snapshots using terminal, set up T M again, back-ups started working and glitches disappeared...for about 2 days. Error is back in DFA as above, etc. I turned off Time Machine back-ups, but the snapshots remain. BTW, the actual snapshot #1 changes from day-to-day as it's supposed to, but the error remains identical for every Snapshot #1.

Any ideas?

Thanks
