[QUOTE="martyp, post: 968116, member: 61183"] Try viewing the contents of the 'Time Machine' drive. You should see a folder called 'Backups.backupdb', open that and then open the one inside which is normally the computer name (ie. Martyp's Mac Pro). You should have a nice long list of all the backups created in folders named in date and time. I'm not sure how you would put these back in the Time Machine app but you can view the contents to recover lost/damaged files. If you only have on or two folders in there then I fear the old backups may be lost, but I can't see why that would happen. [/QUOTE]
