I left my Mac at the store for it to complete a 16 hr. backup.  Yet, I still get the message that the backup has failed, try again later.  If this persists use Utility Disk to  repair.  I have done all of this and the Apple Genus said everything was ok.

My question:  is it important that I seek further help with this backkup issue or just ignore it.  The 16 hr. backup at the Apple Store is accessable in the Time Machine.  I'm just concerned about the error message. 

I did the verification, which indicated that the last backup was 0422 today.  However, when I opened my Mac, this morning at 0500, I still got the message that the backup was NOT performed, etc, etc. etc.
The backup is made on the standard Tiime Machine.
The next backup has already started as of 0518.  Let's see what happens.  This is strange.  Here is the time sequence: 0518    Backup started
                0525     Mac. froze and color wheel would not allow me to access anything on the Mac,
                0528     Backup continuted:  91.9 MB of 94.8 MB
                0530     92.2 MB of 94.8 MB
                0532     Backup stopped.  Message: Latest backup 4:22 Today.
It seems to be functioning properly at this point.  I'm curious to see if I get the standard "The backkup was not performed because an error occured while copying files to the backup disk" message, later today.
I appreciate your help.  I'll keep you posted as I may need your help again. 
Thanks
