What if I copy the time machine backups to the larger partition on the hard drive and then reformat the Time Machine partition?

Harry,
I¡¯ve had almost the identical problem a couple times, but no partition involved.
The problem in my case was a directory so whacked it quit working.
I wasn¡¯t able to rebuild the directory using Disk Warrior because there wasn¡¯t space in the drive for DW to perform it¡¯s task.
I had to hold my breath both time that I wouldn¡¯t lose my main drive while I formatted TimeMachine and began a fresh backup, which then lasted for months and months until the directory once again becomes corrupted.
I guess to be safe I should attach another TimeMachine drive and backup to it before wiping out the damaged one¡one day I may get caught for not being safe.
This may not address your question but I thought I would share my experiences.

Time Machine on my wife¡¯s MacBook Pro hasn¡¯t backed up since March 12. When I tell Time Machine to back up I get this window:

Time Machine backs up to a 1TB partition on a 4TB ssd
When I run disk utility on the Time Machine partition I get this message:

I can successfully run disk utility on the 3TB partition of the ssd.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
