[QUOTE="Alwyn, post: 1131334, member: 153944"] Having suffered a Mac crash a few days after my Time Machine external HD failed, I decided to buy 2 1TB HDs called Time Machines 1 & 2. What I hadn't realised was that, when switching from 1 to 2, it's necessary to make 2 the Time Macind for that day by going to Time Machine in System Preferences. I don't suppose many of you are as paranoid as I am about backing up stuff but this info may be useful to someone or one of the experts may have further advice to give. I'm pleased to say that my original drive was undamaged so that, after a 2 month interval, I think that I've now recovered quite a lot of the missing data including e-mails. [/QUOTE]
