[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1786071, member: 204485"] Okay, just trying to visualise what you are seeing. I would not have thought permissions would be an issue here but that is what it sounds like. The annoying thing here is that you seem to have done all the right things. Your USB drive may well have died, they do that but not being able to access your backup is unexpected. This is one of the reasons many of us have more than one type of backup. I find TM is good for incremental backups in case something becomes damaged or lost but as an archive it is or can be unreliable. That's not fair of course, as a native backup app it should be enough, goodness knows it's hard to get many people to backup at all. I had a look at Disk Drill just recently purely by accident while looking to download the version of Disk Maker X for High Sierra. It may have some possibilities in your situation but I have never used it myself. Others might like to chime in with their opinion on this. [/QUOTE]
