After completing a backup on May 17, Time Machine was no longer able to complete a new backup.
At the end of the backup attempt I always get the phrase "error while copying the file".
However, it is not indicated which files give the copy problems.
MacBook Pro 16", macOS 10.15
Fixed: I've checked in the Time Machine log file which file was blocking the backup and I deleted it.
You can see the Time Machine log file from the Terminal.app. Copy and paste:
printf '\e[3J' && log show --predicate 'subsystem == "com.apple.TimeMachine"' --info --last 6h | grep -F 'eMac' | grep -Fv 'etat' | awk -F']' '{print substr($0,1,19), $NF}'

Time Machine is unable to complete the backup of my MacBook Pro (macOS Catalina)
