Restoring from a Time Machine back-up - puzzlement!
John Galt says .......
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250781327 "As I initially surmised, your question is a bit complicated and deserves more attention than I have been able to devote to it. In light of that limitation, here's what I recommend: First, be sure to obtain and use at least one additional, redundant, Time Machine backup device. You can use it in addition to your existing ones and TM will back up to it "in rotation". Satisfy yourself that TM is working properly with it, which might take a week or two of observing its operation. Then, when you are confident enough, take your existing "My Book", erase it using Disk Utility, and return it to Time Machine's rotation. Unfortunately that will not address your question regarding the presence of "HD" and "HD 1" but there are too many complicating factors for me to provide anything more than a guess as to its appearance. The screenshot you posted is odd and doesn't resemble my TM backups, so all I can say is "that doesn't look right"." = Would anyone else like to comment? |

No matter. Apple has now admitted that THEY instigated the 'error' which has subsequently been 'corrected'. EOD |
