Hi there, mri1397!
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you are having an issue removing the notification about your Time Machine backup. The good news there are a few options you have get this situation taken care of. First, to just remove the alert, go to System Preferences > Time Machine and uncheck the option to “Show Time machine in the menu bar”.
A second option is to make the backup, which will remove the alert. This help article can assist you with the steps: How to use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac. If you have issues making a backup, please check this help article: If you can't back up or restore your Mac using Time Machine
A third option is to simply turn off Time Machine. Then it will no longer ask about backups nor provide alerts if a backup hasn't been completed.
Take care!
Wow! Thank you! That was driving me crazy. You're absolutely right. It was not so obvious.
Amazing. Thank you so much for this 🙂
Thank you for your answer, this was driving me nuts! Now I can rest assure the back up message won't appear again:)
