Aug 10, 2013 3:06 PM in response to Linc Davisby alexri,Here is the screenshot. It doesn't matter to what time I go, there are always files with a date after that time which should be impossible, shouldn't it?
Heute is German for today. You can see I have traveled in time to today, 0:59 am. but the files in the finder window are all dated after that time.

Aug 11, 2013 5:27 AM in response to Linc Davisby alexri,Hello Linc,
thank you for your reply. I didn't recognize that there are two "colors".
But still. Neither the time machine snapshot nor the the local snapshots should show the wrong time and date?
And there is something else which confuses me. Why do the different snapshots have a different amount of files (please look at the other screenshot)?
Best wishes, Alex

Aug 11, 2013 8:47 AM in response to alexriby Linc Davis,What's wrong with the dates in that screenshot? They're all earlier than the date of the snapshot.
The modification times of folders in a local snapshot are not meaningful.

Mar 22, 2015 6:03 AM in response to Linc Davisby Alan Nesbitt,I have exactly the same problem. The answers here seem unhelpful or even wrong. The dates on the file wills will obviously be earlier than the snapshot. That's not OP's problem. The issue is that the modified times are after the backup times. A backup cannot contain files changed after the backup. Saying that displayed dates are "not meaningfull" is just strange. It would be a huge bug to show 'meaningless' values on the screen in the finder.
So no answer to this strange issue that I can see as well.
