I purchased a LaCie Rugged Mini for my Macbook Pro (2021). I have macOS Tahoe 26.3.1. I reformatted the LaCie and it began to download files….then it stopped. I have it set for hourly download until I figure out why it doesn’t. The message I get each hour is that the Time Machine cannot back-up.
“/Users/dez/Library/Mobile Documents.1095473385/com~apple~TextEdit/Documents/Tracfone.rtfd” could not be backed up.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried rebooting your Mac? I have found that has resolved single-file TM failures for me.
