A Final Cut Pro X Library seems to be corrupted. Can it be repaired?

I get it that it is an automatic process that updates when there are changes every 15 min, but I cannot get it to initiate a single backup after there have been changes made. The “Save Library Backups” checkbox in Preferences is ticked and a good location has been chosen, but there has not been a single backup file added over a course of 5 hours. I just rebooted, so we will see if that makes a difference. Anyone know how to get it to initiate a backup for the first time after it is turned back on after turning it off previously?

Thank you! This problem has crippled my business, and it was eating me up until I found this thread. However, I’m still having a problem. Once I followed these steps and restarted FCPX, my library opened up with the media and projects. Unfortunately, about the half the projects aren’t working. They open, but every piece of media on the timeline is black and says “missing”. It is not the same as the usual red unlinked media alert, and all of the media in the library is linked properly. Any ideas?
