Using Mojave 10.14.2 and attempting backup to WD MyPassport Ultra.
I can access the Passport through Finder, so we know that it is connected and working.
When I try to backup using TimeMachine, it accepts the command to "Backup Now" and indicates that it is "Preparing Now"
After coasting along in this status for a five minutes or so, I get an alert that the external drive has been ejected improperly, and there is no backup.
Two Notices: (1) Backup Failed: time Machine couldn't back up to My Passport (2) Disk Not Ejected Properly
The backup has failed on this Passport and another hard drive, G/Drive. Neither drive is partitioned.
Backup to iCloud operates as it should.
Any suggestions on how to get my external drive backups going again?
