Time Machine has stopped working

Hello.

Time Machine has stopped working. It shows " preparing backup" is all it now does.

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks.

If you have reason to believe TM will remain in the "Preparing" stage forever, read If you can't back up or restore your Mac using Time Machine - Apple Support.
