Time Machine can't create a local snapshot
Intermittently, Time Machine won't be able to complete a backup and gives this error:
"Time Machine could not create a local snapshot to back up from."
There is no mention of a lack of free space like other posts (more free space on this system than used space). Sometimes Time Machine is working flawlessly, other times it has this issue. No rhyme or reason to when it's working vs having problems. This is a big issue for me, as I work on professional audio projects for clients, and I rely on Time Machine as my primary backup service.
macOS 10.13.6, everything up to date on the system, OS, drivers, firmware, etc.
Any ideas are appreciated!
