Q: After installing Mavericks, the Time Machine seems to go into 'preparing' mode, and never backs up, eventually providing the RED 'i' symbol - stating unable to backup.  Anyone else having an issue with Time Machine Backups?

Time Machine Backup after installation of Mavericks:  Time machine seems to be very slow at 'preparing' and then transfers only a few MB of files, then states, 'unable to backup'... anyone else having an issue with Time Machine?  Running two Time Machine backup drives, and an iMac 2011 version desktop computer.
