Time machine - Seagate Expansion

Hi! I used to be able to do back ups of my system on Seagate Expansion disk for years now, every time via Time machine. And now when I try to do it I get a notification that back up cannot be done. I started to save different files on Seagate, not only back up files. Could that be the reason? What to do now? Thanks a lot for your support!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
