"backup failed." What next?
2013 MacBook Pro, High Sierra UTD. Using 2TB Time Capsule to extend my network via ethernet. Has worked fine for several years. Now I see the message "backup failed" whenever I attempt a manual or auto backup. Green light on the time capsule. Everything green on my airport setup display. Has around 300 GB available on backup drive for incremental backups. Time capsule drive "Data" appears when I go to "select disk" in Time Machine prefs, I can select it without a problem. I used the reset button as directed to reset the Time Capsule, same message. Can't see a way to test the hard drive (Disk First Aid) on the Time Capsule, don't know how to make the 'Data" disk appear in Disk Utility. Please advise how to test for a bad drive on my Time Capsule, or what you would do next to address this problem. Tnanks. Bennett
