This is on my Mac Mini (M1) running 27.0.1:
This morning I come to check on my TM progress (daily BU), which will only run when the machine is "awake", and found the status was 2 days (screenshot), normally less than 30 minutes. So I opted for skip BU, and then manually re-started the BU, which was then completed in 10 minutes!!

Thoughts, or just a one-off.

I have several docs I saved in Pages. When I went to open a few none of them were there. I tried to open them while in Pages.
Any suggestions appreciated. Perhaps I can re-install them while in Time Machine but I'll need help doing that. Thank you.

Hello. Happend yesterday.

Went to download something from Itunes store (using high sierra), and got an error message saying that it either couldn't download the music, or there was a problem in the Itunes Store, pleas try again later (or some variant of it). Can't even seem to log in, because when I sucessfully enter my information i don't get an error, but in the drop down menu the sign in option isn't greyed out, as if I never sucessfully signed into the account.

Is anyone else...
