Hey there!

I’d follow this article:

If you can’t backup or restore your Mac using Time Machine:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204157

I don’t have all the details, but usually if the icon becomes greyed out, or looks different it’s still in the process of trying to backup, but that may not be the case, hope that article can help!
