[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1501092, member: 46727"] It sounds like the drive may have failed during the Time Machine backup. It's not unusual for drives to suddenly fail. You can try using Disk Warrior to repair the drive but since it's a costly application to buy ($99), I'm not sure it's worth it. I would just buy another drive and use the new one for Time Machine backups. The backups on the defective drive will probably be lost in that case, but unless you're willing to spend money to salvage the data..... [/QUOTE]
