Sophos preventing Time Machine backup in Sierra

Bryan Kuhl

Since I upgraded to OS Sierra my time machine has been stuck in "preparing backup" but it never actually does the backup when using the Airport Time Capsule.  My second Mac with Sierra backs up fine, but it does not have Sophos on it.

I Stoped Sophos an the backup started immediately.

appears to be a bug.

    I also have this problem on Macbook Pro and iMac 27" since upgrading to Sierra.

    TM was permanently stuck in 'preparing backup'. I have completely removed Sophos and everything's working again. 

    Note: My Airport Time Capsule, NAS and other network attached drives were excluded
