[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1946984, member: 204485"] The error definitely implies that the Mac is or was locked during backup. Ian's Energy settings are different to mine as I have a laptop so my screenshot does not include the, "Put hard disks to sleep when possible" setting. So, does the backup complete when the system is "awake" or not? Lastly did you reboot after making the aforementioned changes to your Energy settings? PS. From what I can find out online all Mac Minis from the Intel to current Mx models are configured for the fans to run all the time, but silently, if they are noisy you should return it to Apple asap before the warrenty expires. I have an M1 14" MBP with two fans and even at 6000 rpm they are virtually inaudible. [/QUOTE]
