Time machine no longer backs up. It prepares for back up OK but then fails to complete. The archive is still available. Any ideas? Thanks

Unfortunately, not much to go on here. There are any of twenty different reasons why backups are not occurring, and no shortcuts that I know of to find out why.


Work your way through Backup Failures in Pondini's excellent support document Time Machine --- Troubleshooting.


See C1 through C19.
