I got a new external disk for backup. I keep getting an error message: Time Machine could not create a local snapshot to back up from. Now What?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

You don't have enough room on the source drive.

Time Machine now makes a snapshot of the drive.

How much free space do you have on the drive you are backing up?
