Time Machine successfully backs up once after I boot the laptop. However, every time it tries to back up again while the laptop is running (I don't normally perform a full shutdown and reboot very often!) it fails with the error http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/108051/time-machine-error-creating-the-backup-folder-on-a-spacious-hard-drive message: "An error occurred while creating the backup folder." I would like to eject the drive and plug it in again to see if this helps, but clicking the Eject button in Finder shows this message: and I have not wanted to do a Force Eject. I have rebooted, and Time Machine successfully backed up once after that, only to fail again the next time it tried. I do sometimes close the laptop lid or put it to sleep with the disk still plugged in, and it is still there when it wakes. I searched the Console for Time Machine-related errors but could not see any. (The Console won't display system.log saying I don't have permissions, but running syslog -C in the Terminal and scanning the output doesn't show anything either.) How do I: Solve the issue, so it successfully create the backup folder Perhaps, see if it is Time Machine or another app that is preventing the disk eject?

I formatted it at as Mac OS X Journaled. Running Disk Utility and verifying the disk shows no errors. The drive has about 800GB free space.
