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?
