I've been getting the same issue re: Backup Failed / The backup on ... is already in use 1088141855_ScreenShot2018-08-13at11_35_50PM.png.945f10e438f3d24bf81e76156cad5f9b.png

And this is the error in the Time Machine preference pane: Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to ... / 

The backup disk image “/Volumes/Time Machine/martianbookpro.sparsebundle” is already in use.

 

Latest successful backup: Today, 8:27 PM

When I search google for 

site:lime-technology.com time machine already in use

I get similar reports from other users with no clear solution.  In my experience the most reliable fix is to reboot the unRAID machine.
