The picture indicates my backup isn’t complete because of antivirus software. It began two days back. The main issue here is... I haven’t used antivirus before. Do you know any advice?

It suggests a possibility, indicating if there was one it could be a potential reason, not certainty. You should examine the backup drive for problems like S.M.A.R.T data, which may point to a failing drive.

All drives seem normal from the server perspective, which is why I’m puzzled.

I'll review the Time Machine logs for clues about the possible root cause. The server suggests a backup to a NAS, which could point to network or storage issues. It might also indicate problems with the wireless or wired connection.

Yes, it worked, identified the issue—MacPorts was the culprit. But I had to reinstall the OS again; good luck, you’ve got three backups.
