Q: Backup disk can't be found by TM

Hi, i have started getting this message below and can't back up. TM is only a few months old and everything else is working fine. I have tried verification but same fault and rebooting.

 

Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to “Richard's AirPort Time Capsule”.

The backup disk could not be found. Make sure the backup disk is connected or select a different backup disk.
