LRC On Mac not backing up Catalog anymore

Question

Sonoma MacOS & Lightroom Classic (Latest Version)

Recently I bought an external SSD and moved all my photos to that drive. My Catalog too.
I want my LR backup to be on the external drive., I want to free up my computer from any large file systems. I do not care about having the backup and the catalog in the same drive, as it is backed up online daily. If I lose the drive, I still have online access.

That drive is synced online with dropbox.

Now I am trying to backup my catalog and I get this error:

"Please check your folder permissions, and make sure that you have available space on your backup drive and main catalog's drive."

To make sure the external drive was not the issue, I changed my backup folder location to my laptop's SSD. I still get the same error.

I also created a new catalog and imported the old one, still get the same error.

What else can I do?

Please check your folder permissions, and make sure that you have available space on  your backup drive and main catalog's drive. I have gotten that message in certain situations, and restarting the computer fixed it. Also, it may be that somehow DropBox is temporarily preventing the backup, although I couldn't really say.
