My MacBook is showing that I have a damaged drive, how can I back up and restore the drive

I'm trying to update the OS but I'm getting that I can't update because I have a damage drive. Please send me the steps I can take to back up and restore the drive. Thanks

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14

Did you try running the Disk First Aid ...?


Boot into Internet Recovery (Option Command R) and from the dropdown menu: Utilities>  Disk Utility> run the First Aid on your Macintosh HD (and the "Macintosh HD-Data" volume as well if Catalina/Big Sur) If errors are found and repaired, run again until no errors reported.


Disk Utility>View>Show All Devices The best sequence is —

• Volume level

• Container level

• Parent drive


Recovery: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204904
