    I added the problem partition back into the job and last night it fully backed up the My Computer.  Microsoft Windows update KB3150513 installed on 5/31/2017.  Possibly related?

You could try and 'simulate' a backup using DiskShadow to see if this works or not (it may give some clues):

Failing that, we would need to review the logs to understand what is going on here. I am out of office next week, so if logs need looking at, I won't be able to do that until I return to work.

My Windows 10 system does not respond to a diskshadow command. Do I need to download it?
