Opinions/comments on this?

I have two external backup disks.  One is a whole disk, 500 GB (WD500). 
  Other is an 800 GB partition (WD800) in a 2 TB disk.

Today, I got a pop-up that Time Machine (TM) could not complete the 
backup on WD800.

Opened TM preferences, and it was "preparing to backup" on WD500.

Opened Finder to check size (with GetInfo) and saw the symbol that 
backup is in progress on WD800 !  Checked the size--lots of free space.

After a long time, TM was still "preparing" on WD500

So, pop-up says backup on "eight" failed; Finder says it is still 
happening on "eight" and TM says it is working on "five"

    I've noticed lately that the paranoid fear of computers becoming
    intelligent and taking over the world has almost entirely disappeared
    from the common culture.  Near as I can tell, this coincides with
    the release of MS-DOS.
