My Book Essential Stopped Backing Up

I have 1.8 TB left on the hard drive and need to back up 22.0 GB but it doesn’t back it up. Any ideas why?

Hello, are you getting any messages when you try to copy the files, are you using any program or are trying to copy the files manually?

Everything I looked at said it would copy files automatically. I haven’t been able to find any other way to do it. I did check the drive for errors and found there to be none…Nope, no messages.
