[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1840421, member: 46727"] As advised, the best thing to do is start over with a new Time Machine backup. As noted above by the article that Ian referred to, it's a good idea to start fresh. Unless you really need those older Time Machine backups, just erase the drive and go from there. How useful are older backups going to be for you now that you have updated to Catalina? Catalina has also formatted your internal drive to APFS. You might also want to consider using another backup strategy. Most of us use and recommend cloning software: [URL="https://bombich.com/"]Carbon Copy Cloner[/URL] or [URL="https://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html"]SuperDuper[/URL]. Both programs offer a very effective way for backing up and restoring data. [/QUOTE]
