Time machine says backup delayed

Time machine goes to almost complete (98%or so), then gives a message that says time machine delayed. I restarted time machine several times, same message when almost complete. Backup is to a NAS. Sonoma 14.0 worked fine until a day ago. Do not remember doing any updates since a good backup.

Just did another try - AND WENT TO COMPLETION!!! Looks like your comment might be the reason, perhaps something had to be downloaded from iCloud??? Or maybe just a $$$magic fix. Thanks for taking the time to help.

CAN YOU DEFINE "WORKED FOR ME"? THIS THREAD IS ABOUT MAC NOT BACKING UP IN TIME MACHINE AND GIVING A "BACKUP DELAYED" MESSAGE SO ARE YOU SAYING YOU DID A BACK VERIFICATION AND AFTER THAT YOUR MAC BACKED UP OK?

Please do not post all in caps. In addition to being considered rude, it's hard to read.


The person to whom you're replying appears to be saying that what BIGKID did helped. Start by reading the thread from the very beginning and read the exchange of posts between BIGKID and Grant Bennet-Adler.
