Time machine After upgrading to Sonoma 14, the time machine is stuck in preparing for the backup for too long (hours). The blue bar keeps "running" from side to side... Is it normal?

Ttry connecting using the full power of the MagSafe connector, if so equipped, or a direct connection from the power adapter, not through any other devices that might reduce the power level.
