[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1631776"] BTW, since you're using Finder to look at the backups, don't try just copying a file from that drive. The way TM works is to use what is called a sparcebundle to store the data compactly. The only way to get a file back would be to use the TM interface to restore so that the sparcebundle structure is maintained. And don't muck about with that folder structure, either, as it is all interconnected. Just use the TM interface to work with the backups. [/QUOTE]
