[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1694790, member: 46727"] A folder with zero bytes is not good news since that means it contains no data. I'm not sure what it is you did in your explanation above especially the part about using CCC to backup to an external drive from another external drive? Are you saying that you originally moved your files and that particular folder to an external drive and then used CCC to make a clone of that drive? Let's not worry about Time Machine for the present. If what you say you did (as I understand it) is true, then your folder should be present with all its data in two places. The only way that folder would have been zeroed out is if you accidentally overwrote it during the cloning process and did not tell CCC to turn on its "SafetyNet". The CCC SafetyNet will preserve any file that it overwrites or deletes so that you can later decide what to do with it. In the meantime, go over all your work and closely examine all the external hard drives to make sure the folder isn't tucked away somewhere. [/QUOTE]
