Slow backup

Advised by an Apple consultant to back up my Mac as it appears to have an issue - it’s extremely slow. Started back up through time machine to another external drive but it is stuck in preparing backup (no over 4 hours). How can I complete the backup?

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

Refer to If Time Machine remains in the “preparing” stage - Apple Support. The first backup will take a long time.
