Time Machine could not create a local snapshot to back up from.
I run TM backups for years on a machine in my network and this morning I got this message.
Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to “Ganesh Server.local”. Etc.
See pic.
The setup is as follows. Hard wired network. MBP backing up to a MM (2020 model) in the network all running 10.15.7. Fixed IP addresses. The TM backup is done to an external USB 3 disk attached to the MM.
As said worked like a dream for years till I got this message this morning. As you see on the pic it worked fine at 08.20. it failed at 09.20 and it keeps failing if I click the ‘Back Up Now” button.
Any idea as to how to fix this?
