Yep... CCC is telling me that there are read errors :-( Just checked and haven't backed it up in a year.....
I am so so so stupid
Trying to get back the important bits but the drive ejects itself after about 10mins. Should just about recover from this but it's a real reminder for me to get my shit safe

I'd suggest cloning it in the first instance (I normally use dd on a linux livecd but you should be able to do it in Mac OS https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-create-disk-image-on-mac-os-x-with-dd-command/ )

After that mount the image and work on that rather than trying to use the failing drive.

Left CCC overnight to try copy the drive and it did it’s job. End up losing 26 files however i’ve Checked and they aren’t important so bullet dodged
