[QUOTE="webrider, post: 1861713, member: 405570"] Hi Jake, Thank you for your answer you help me so much ! What I keep in mind from your last post is that snapshots system is an internal function of TM and I should not modify it. The famous "missing folder" is still on the SSD today and I have already tested the creation of a new folder on the NAS (as new destination) but the backup still weights the same and does not contain everything. While reading all your posts I had an idea : when I changed TM destination from the USB drive to the NAS, the USB drive was not attached to the system and it has never been connected since. Is it the reason why the old backups are still pointing to this drive ? What if I connect the USB drive and I format it ? Will TM see that these backups are deleted ? If yes, TM will probably start to backup the data that was on the USB drive to the NAS. Maybe the solution ? I will try this next time I see my customer. Regards, webrider [/QUOTE]
