Found a similar issue for a different machine (disk not ejected properly when time machi… - Apple Community)
The backup itself fails to complete.
Tried what was suggested, but nothing seemed to work.

Drive ejecting unexpected ly can indicate a failing drive...
Try a different backup drive and compare your results.
No other drive to compare— then erase, reformat,initialize the drive as new and try your luck
