So, here we go again...

I noticed on Sunday after checking my mail etc. that the last backup was 10
days ago...
But, as I'm just coming round after a bout of covid I really couldn't be arsed
to investigate until today.
It seems to be Time Machine just falling over. Tried reselecting the disc,
restarting the NAS and restarting the Mac.
It will run fine if I do a fresh backup and it then carries on perfectly
happily to the same disc it refused...

Luckily I haven't done anything that might have got lost but it is getting a
little boring now.

If you have undiscovered malware on your Apple computer hard drive, it
will be on your Time Machine back-up drive too!

Think about it!

I’ve setup TM to allow my MacBook backups when just on battery power. This
seems to work most of the time but sometimes does not. When I’ve checked
the % charge it is often rather low. Just a random thought!
