[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1808657, member: 396914"] Welcome to the forum. Time Machine opens into wherever you are. If you are in an application and open Time Machine, it returns to the Desktop. On the other hand, if you open Finder and go to Macintosh HD, it opens in that same view. And if you have your externals on the sidebar, they will be in the sidebar in the default Time Machine window. NOW is now, as you suspected. It's not a backup, it's now. No need to reformat the drive, IMHO, if that's all that is happening. You can test it by using Finder to navigate to a folder like Applications, then invoke TM from there. It opens in that same folder and goes back in history in that folder. At least that's how it's working on my Mojave system 10.14.2. Not sure what you mean by "MACKINTOSH BLUE FOLDER." What is that?
