Hello!

Just to confirm; you have two external drives connected, one for macOS, and one for Time Machine, correct? What is the manufacturer and model of both external drives?
Have you attempted creating a Time Machine backup in Safe mode? Safe mode can help you to determine whether an issue is caused by software that loads as your Mac starts up.

- Turn on or restart your Mac, then immediately press and hold the Shift key as your Mac starts up.
- Release the key when you see the login window, then log in to your Mac.
- You might be asked to log in again. On either the first or second login window, you should see ”Safe Boot” in the upper-right corner of the window.
