Yes the backups continue on the internal drive until you are able to connect with your external drive again. This only applies to 10.7 (Lion). Other versions of Time Machine did not do this.

exactly @Slydude. So if that's the case I can still enter into time machine (with that outer space environment...) even though I disconnected my external HD and choose a restore point? Of course the restore points available are only those backed up by internal. Am I correct?

This is a great help for me... Thanx
