<blockquote data-quote="MacInWin" data-source="post: 1737507">@mengel1, a couple of thoughts:1. IF your TM backups are on a networked drive, it can take a while for TM to &quot;build&quot; the views of the older backups. Follow the directions from chscag, but on step 3, give it a while after the &quot;Enter Time Machine&quot; step for the older backups to appear. There is some referencing that TM has to do to get the older backups built up from the data. How the files are stored on a network drive is different from a locally attached (USB/Firewire/etc) drive and the building of that history can be slow.2. If your TM Backup drive is directly attached, it can still be a while for historical backups to be built up and display, particularly if your system has a long history of TM backups. Remember, it has to go back to the ORIGINAL backup, then work forward with changes from that point all the way to today. That rebuilding can take a while when there are lots of backups in the queue.</blockquote>

[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1737507"] @mengel1, a couple of thoughts: 1. IF your TM backups are on a networked drive, it can take a while for TM to "build" the views of the older backups. Follow the directions from chscag, but on step 3, give it a while after the "Enter Time Machine" step for the older backups to appear. There is some referencing that TM has to do to get the older backups built up from the data.
