Time Machine Error

I'm getting an error that Time Machine encountered an error while copying files, but there isn't any other information to act on. What's the next step?


Mac mini M1/ 11.6.1

Mac mini 2018 or later

You could have a bad file on your boot drive that's causing the problem. Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down), select Disk Utility and run First Aid on your drive. If you get any error messages rerun First Aid till there is none. Then reboot normally and try a backup again.
