Usually this means there isn't enough free space on your internal hard drive to create a backup. Although you have an external drive to backup too, there is also some space on your internal drive necessary to create local snapshots.
Try to create more storage space on your internal drive https://support.apple.com/guide/system-information/optimize-storage-space-sysp4ee93ca4/mac
