It may be possible that your backup disk is full.

I found that there are quite a few files/folders that grow over time - posted about it here.

If you are using Voice Assist, and particularly the Whisper add-on, you will find that the size of full backups have grown significantly. The Whisper documentation states that "Whisper model files can be quite large, so they are automatically excluded from backups." ... but this is simply not true. The medium.en model is currently adding 2.8GB to my full backup, pushing it to 4GB each time.

@donburch888 I still have about 2.5 TB of backup space left, I don't think that's the problem. I also don't use voice assist
