What you can do now

Do not erase the existing backup. Record the error and keep the destination disconnected if it makes unusual sounds.

What the symptom can mean

This can come from a setting, connection, software, storage, power, or another component. Recent changes and the pattern you notice can help narrow it down without risking important files.
