Nice try but as I stated previously Apple acknowledged the issue existed and offered possible solutions that proved ineffective. The problem extended across user accounts, several versions of OS X beginning with 10.11 public beta and continuing until the second release of OS SX 10.11.2 beta. During that time the Time Machine drive has variously been a Time Capsule connected via WiFi, an external Firewire enclosure, the same external enclosure connected via USB 3, and for the last few months it is a four drive RAID 5 array using a Thunderbolt connection. It would work when manually initiated and would reliably indicate the scheduled time of the next backup, but those backups never occurred.
