Each time I unlock 1Password it wakes and waits my external drive

Thank you for the reply.

I am curious why I would exclude 1Password from the Time Machine backup as I do not exclude any other apps.

1Password for Mac has multiple components that communicate with each other and extra copies can cause confusion with that communication. There is no need to backup the 1Password app itself using Time Machine since you can always download a copy of the app from our website:Download the latest version of 1Password

Your 1Password data itself is stored in a separate location and will still be included in your Time Machine backup.

That being said, it's not clear that the Time Machine backup is the cause of the issue here. The next time that the issue occurs, I'd like to ask you to create a diagnostics report from your Mac:
