This is a long shot and I can't remember which update it happened with,
but at either the tail end of Mountain Lion or early on with Mavericks, TM
backup started to give "searching for backup volume" messages, and then
one day couldn't see it.

I resolved that problem by moving the cable from the USB hub to a port
on my Mac mini, and haven't seen the problem since.
