[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1835760, member: 396914"] Do not use Finder for any activity with Time Machine backups. What you see in Finder if you look into backups.backupdb are NOT files, but specialized links to files. If you muck with the links, the entire backup can be lost. I wrote out the entire sequence for TM a while ago, but I can't find it right now. Bottom line, leave TM backups alone and ONLY look at them through Time Machine. [/QUOTE]
