The Saga of the Failing Backups, Part Deux

thewayneMy wife brought home my other backup drive. I plugged it in last night, reconfigured my Time Machine backup, and left it to do its thing. The power supply and USB cable were the same as the drive that gave me problems.
Get home tonight and there's the same error message, Disk Not Ejected Properly.
I don't have time to spend on it tonight, probably won't until the weekend. So it's either power supply, cable, or something odd in my computer. None of them are likely, but two bad drives are even less likely. The interesting thing is that it's intermittent: the drive always reconnects and apparently completes backups.
