I will add—
"Time Machine has completed a new backup for you, or get a message saying it can't create the backup,"
or “failed to complete the backup, ” or “Preparing backup”
This message reappears most likely the TimeMachine disk is operating in a state of failure and will continue to fail with increasing frequency, in this case replace the drive.
