disk warrior and time machine


 

I recently got this message on my MacBook Air

macOS can't repair the disk "MacAirTimeMachine".
You can still open or copy files on the disk, but you can't save changes to files
on the disk. Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can.

So I tried disk warrior and received this message

Directory must be rebuilt from : Recovery disk because of macOs access security restrictions.

Here is info about my machine

macOS Big Sur
Version 11.7.1
MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2013)
Processor 1.7 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3


Questions:
How do I get a recovery disk- or where do I get a recovery disk.
Failing that, can I copy the files from the time machine disk to another disk and still have time machine be able to access them. Or should I just reformat the drive.

Time machine is one partition on an ssd drive - can I just reformat that partition? The other two partitions are working fine - I was able to rebuild the directories on those partitions.

All help gratefully accepted.
