I recently had to erase and start over again on my computer, as the hard drive had been case-senstive journaled and this would not allow me to install Adobe Creative suite. So I changed that and rebooted my imac. I have Time Machine and a 2tb My book as a external hard drive. When I set this up and pretty much brought me through some settings and quite quickly it was backing my computer up every hour and so forth. Now I thought this meant that it was quite literally Saving everything every hour, and when it got full it would delete the oldest back ups. In this saving I thought it meant photos, music, documents, spreadsheets, my quickbooks everything. Without me having to specify.
But I restored my computer, and I only got the applications, no photos, music, files, documents, spread sheets, quickbook numbers. Just the programs themselves; itunes, iphoto, imovie, microsoft word, excel, quickbooks.
Did I make a HUGE mistake and lose all of that information??????????
or
am I just not seeing the folders in my time machine backup and if that is the case, WHERE IS EVERYTHING??????????
I am in serious panic mode so any advice is APPRECIATED!
