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 am using Sophos 9.8.2 and Mojave 10.14.3. I have had to re-format an external Seagate Backup Plus drive that is set up for Time Machine due to getting a error message stating the Time Machine can't back up the Mac due to the backup disk being read only. The first time I ran backup after I formatted the disk it worked, but then I got the same error message stating the disk is read only.

     

    What should I do?

     

    Cheers
