Time machine backup fails

Mac OS Monterey with Bitdefender: "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup... Anti-virus software may be preventing Time Machine from writing to the backup..."

Used to work fine; no changes other than updating Bitdefender.

  • Same issue.  Turning off Time Machine Protection enables backups to resume, which defeats the purpose of having that feature.

  • iMac Monterey 12.6,

    Orbi, RBR50, App Ver. 2.20.1.9, Firmware Ver. V2.77.4.24

     

    Time Machine prevented from backing up due to:

     

    An unauthorized app attempted to access your backups.

    App: /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd.bundle/Contents/Resources/backupd

    We blocked the app to prevent it from altering the content of your backups.

     

    Please advise how to fix this.

     

    Thanks
