Time Machine won't back up now [resolved]

[Caviar_X]

The installation went smoothly and everything seems to be working fine except backups w/ Time Machine. When I force a back up it gives me an error message "Time Machine did not back up because FileVault was encrypting or decrypting a disk. Backups will resume once FileVault finishes". I went into System Preferences then Privacy and confirmed encryption was not in progress. Is this a known issue?


UPDATE: The error message disappeared. Everything works fine now.

Hmm, Apple's own Time Machine not working with Big Sur? That's a definite concern.

What version of Big Sur are you using? Version 8 of the beta just came out on Monday.

Update: looks like the issue got resolved.

I had the latest version. It was very worrying at first because no one had this issue.

Again, glad the issue got resolved. I use SuperDuper! for making my backups. Has always been reliable and continues to work flawlessly. Carbon Copy Cloner is another excellent, similar product.

Besides backing up, either of them make those backups bootable! So you can boot your machine from either of those backups. Real convenient and safe for recovery.
