[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1453415, member: 46727"] That's right. The only thing I can figure out is that perhaps at one time a backup or two went to the internal hard drive and that changed the date bars on the right side to white from pink-red. Here's something that you can try: When the external backup drive gets full, either wipe it and start over or buy another external hard drive and start fresh. But as long as the backups are being made and they can be reliably restored, it really doesn't matter what color the date bars are. You might also want to give Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper a go for backing up. Both apps create bootable backups on an external drive. My CCC backups have saved me from total disaster on several occasions. [/QUOTE]
