Time Machine

[net]

Hi

I am running my MBP 2014 on Big Sur with a WD My Passport Pro external drive 1TB. The latter has been fine since new ( also 2014) and provided a dual disc one to store large files and the other as Time Machine. Now Time Machine hs suddenly stopped working  as I get a msg “Back up Disc not available” . However the WD is is connected with thunderbolt and running for the storage volume.

Just done latest BigSur update and problem is still there.

If the solution is to replace the drive, does anyone recommend a good but affordable ( 1-2 TB is fine) drive again with 2 volumes. I do like Time M/c as its saved my a** a number of times.

Could I also just get a second drive for the Time m/c, leaving the old working just for the storage

Thanks

Jack
