Q: Time Machine Backup stalls
Am using a mid 2012 Mac Book Pro MBP running 10.11.6 with a third generation Time Capsule TM with current firmware. Have backups on the TM going back to 2012. Since installing the last El Capitan update - a security update - I've not been able to backup to my TM ie. the Time Machine backup will start and progress to for instance to 2.6g of 3.7g and it will stall with no change for 6 hours - cover up and computer set not to sleep. Am connected to the TM with an ethernet cable. This has happened twice now. Have verified the TM via Airport Utility and am verifying the backup for the second time. Have tried deleting the In Progress plist with possibly no benefit but at least now Time Machine progresses to actually trying to backup. Less than half of the TM is full. Have tried Disk Utility and Disk Warrior on my MBP. Trash is empty on both MBP and TM.
Any ideas would be most appreciated.
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), Time Capsule 3rd generaton

Let it finish. It may be repairing itself.
