Your computer has lost access to the backup device.

Are you using a TC?

Reboot it.. if that isn't enough turn off the whole network and reboot in order.. modem.. router/TC.. clients. 2min gap.

Then if you still fail, check the TC has booted corrected and you have airport utility access. Do a disk verify for the backup.
