[QUOTE="tigo, post: 1386768, member: 244613"] Hi I tried to back up using Time Machine today, however, the back up failed as the external hard drive was full. Previously I've had dozens of back ups stored on this hard drive (320 GB). I opened up Time Machine in Finder and now there is only one back up (the last one I did prior to yesterday). It had been some time since I last backed up so I'm wondering if it deleted all the old back ups to make space for processing? It still will not back up even though there is only one complete back up on the hard drive, and if I enter this back up via the Finder menu, I can't open any of the files (there is a red no-entry style symbol over each file). Does anyone know what this means? Any suggestions on how I can back up or retrieve any of the old data or old back ups? [/QUOTE]
