I am trying to recover all my photos and music that I have apparently lost after reformatting my MBP. I backed up with TimeMachine and then wiped the drive. (Reason for wiping is the 120GB "other" my laptop had annoyingly accumulated) When I went through the reinstall and selected Time Machine Backup, my file was nowhere to be found. I opened the external HD I used to do the TM backup and found a "partial" file. Its 282 GB but its labeled "2016-06-24-165709.inProgress" I assume that it means its not a complete backup and I have no idea why TM said my backup was complete. Alas, here I am with a newly wiped MBP and no way to restore any of my data. I don't really care about my music but I have decades worth of photos and videos that are apparently gone.
Is there anything I can do with this ".inprogress" file that is indeed my backup? All I care about is recovering my photos/videos.
Thanks!
