[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1431320, member: 24098"] Yeah, that drive is definitely failing - and quick. It probably has nothing to do with the destination (i.e. the external), but the source (the failing drive). Time Machine can't grab files because the file system is damaged. If you can't run Verify/Repair Disk in Disk Utility, then you'll need to try a different utility for backing up. I recommend SuperDuper! or CarbonCopyCloner. And if it gets worse, you might want to check out Paragon Rescue Kit (free), or perhaps DiskWarrior or Drive Genius, which should help you to recover at least some of your data. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
