I have not been able to complete a back up for a couple of weeks now. Keep getting this message...
'Files can’t be copied onto the backup disk because it is read-only. You may need to repair or erase the disk using Disk Utility. If the disk can’t be repaired, select a different disk for backups.'
I have been using the My Passport for 2 years and haven't had a problem. There is space so unsure why its not backing up.
Thanks

Drives can fail at anytime.
Time Machine has completed ... a new backup for you, or get a message saying it can't create the backup.
That message reappears it is likely the TM disk has been operating in a state of failure, and will continue to reappear with increasing frequency.
The solution is to replace it.
