[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1899855, member: 396914"] Yeah, Apple has a serious issue with TM here. I did some searching on the 'net and there are lots of voices about it, even back to Big Sur. What I have discovered now is that the target drive now is showing errors when I tried to use DU to repair it. [ATTACH type="full"]35331[/ATTACH] That has also been reported by others on the 'net.
