Hi @GGHank
This means that you are trying to back up files on the same drive as the drive you are backing up to. It looks like it wants you to back up to a separate or external drive.
It doesn't want to back up to a drive that has corruption.
Please download and run this: CrystalDiskInfo
Post a screenshot of the result.
