My time machine, a manual backup drive to my MacPro will not backup after my system upgrade to Catalina -- any suggestions please? I alternate between 2 backups drives and neither will work -- so I don't believe the drive is the issue.

Can't move Old Time Machine Backup to new drive There's plenty of web pages that state that an old Time Machine backup can be copied to a new Time Machine drive. Has this be disabled in 10.15.4/Catalina? I've shut off Time Machine, rebooted and even unlocked the new Time Machine drive in the "Get Info" window, but when I try to copy the old Time Machine backup folder to the new Time Machine Drive, I get the error: Operation Can't be Completed Because Backup Items Can't be Modified Is there a way under 10.15.4/Catalina to move an old backup to a new drive? Can this be done in terminal? Logged in as 'root'?

Time machine is not able to succeed a back up after Catalina upgrade Time machine is not able to succeed a back up after Catalina upgrade. Nothing change since the upgrade to Catalina and Time machine software has stopped working. Either Backup on a time machine capsule or on a compatible NAS, time machine is not able to make a backup. On disks properties there are two sections, one as a Macintosh HD and one as a Macintosh HD Data. I am looking forward for your valuable assistance.

If Time Machine on your Mac can’t find your backup disk may be applicable.
