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.

    Hi all

    I have a simillar problem. After upgrading to sierra, my Time Machine backup is not starting properly (no progress in preparing backup). What I figured out is, if I switch of the on-access scanner, time machine works fine. as soon as I switch on the on-access scanner the problem returns.So I can  now decide to either do manual started backups from tome to time by switching of the on-access scanner or leave that scanner permanently disabled and have a security risk. Both options represent a problem for me. Quick help on this topic is appreciated...
