[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1615936, member: 46727"] Member McBie's advice is right on target. Never delete Time Machine backups using the Finder as that destroys the integrity of the entire backup sparse bundle. Always enter Time Machine and remove the older backups one by one using the remove option which will require you to enter your Admin password before it deletes the specific backup. To the OP: Your Time Machine backup is very likely worthless now. My advice is to reformat your TM hard drive and start your Time Machine full backup from that point on. The first one will take quite a while but thereafter the backups will go more quickly. [/QUOTE]
