I did my updtae to Sierra 10.12.1 a couple of weeks ago and the MacBook (Pro 
Retina) and behavious of the MacBook was fine, nothing odd. I had TM turned OFF 
during the update and once the dust had settled, I turned it back on and after 
some time a ~5GB backup started and finished succesfully. 

Yesterday, I saw an Update showing in the App Store and so after a short review 
- I commenced the update which was to 10.12.4. 

Since then, my backups have been quite odd. I've notifications saying "can't 
locate the server", "you're trying to backup an encrypted disc to a non 
encrypted disc" and just now it was in the process of doing a backup - progress 
bar was showing for ~6GB backup - next time I came back to it it showed as 
though backup was all finished succesfully, however the panel indicated my last 
backup was June 2016!

I browsed a bit and noted also that autologin is disabled when FileVault is ON 
and I've normally had my MacBook set to autologin - and it has since moving to 
Sierra (12.4.1) reverted to reuquiring my login upon Start up - where prior 
configuration was Autologin was set ON.

Is this normal and any clues to maybe a simple setting I've not done which the 
update has changed for me? Is there a Sierra default configuration demanding 
FileVault ON and hence disabling Autologin and what is the connection with my 
backups behaviour if any?

Regards
