[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1861781, member: 396914"] I would not erase the USB drive. It won't make a difference. Just don't connect it. As I said (and the articles clearly state) the TM process does NOT store previous results anywhere, it reads what is currently in the backup it can see in the target drive. Deleting that USB will eliminate the one copy of the missing file you have, leaving only the internal drive. That's risky. [/QUOTE]
