Unable to perform Time Machine backup of encrypted drive
Hello everyone! I have a question regarding using Time Machine to backup an encrypted drive.
Until now I have been using unencrypted drives. Yesterday however, I decided to encrypt my internal MacBook Pro drive with FileVault as well as my external HDD. The encryption process went without any issues and took only minutes for each of the two drives.
However, today I wanted to do a Time Machine backup of my entire system (the two aforementioned drives). Usually this is a flawless process and my internal and external drive gets backed up. However, today I get the message that my external drive can't be backed up because it is being encrypted or decrypted by FileVault. Besides that, the external drive seems to be doing something constantly as it is spinning and the LED is flashing. I am able to use the drive and access my files without any problems. Also, I have already tried restarting and reconnecting.
I hope someone know a solution to this as I have only been able to find similar problems regarding non-encrypted source drives which is not my case.
Thanks so much in advance!
