I've been an intermittent user of Time Machine for a year or so - intermittent in that I usually run the backups manually and can forget to do it for weeks at a time. But that's my lookout; no lectures required.
Since around the time I moved to 10.6 (although I can't be absolutely certain of that) whenever I enter TM, nothing shows except the current state. Behind that are a long line of black shapes extending into the heart of the galaxy...
Opening the sparse bundle image on my backup drive I can see a healthy collection of backups going back several months plus the dozen or so from today since I decided to leave TM running to test it. The image has the number of my ethernet MAC.
Can anyone suggest why I can't use Time Machine to access these backups?
Any advice much appreciated.
