I last accessed my time machine on the 19th May and successfully recovered a file that was created on 15th May. Later that day I switched my External Time machine disk off.
Today, I've just gone into Time Machine (yes after turning my disk back on before you ask) and the latest backup is dated 4 May. I've checked the disk via Finder and sure enough there is nothing after 4 May even though TM ran normally between then and the 19th. This was vital as I've been working on a critical project.
Anyone any ideas how TM has lost files? Incidentally, backups from April and March are still there.
