I had the same problem. I also had to start a fresh backup to a new location. My storage location was a local disk.

But it never gets far: every few seconds, it brings up a "password needed" window somewhere out of sight (behind other windows; but that is another problem/feature), even though I've told it to remember the password. So using this backup software seems entirely impractical; it will never finish.
