since I updated to monterey I get this message when I try to run backup, any suggestions?

When I run time machine backup fails and I get this message. Time Machine did not finish backing up because some files were unavailable. Backups will resume when your Mac is unlocked.

Once I determine the upgrade is successful and no problems have popped up in, say, 24 hours, I'll do just that. Erase the TM drives and start fresh.


I maintain history and backups of files and such in multiple ways so I have no need for years of history in TM.
