Q: time machine skipped files

One of my Time Machine backup drives is not backing up all of the files from the drive I am copying. The skipped files are mostly Photoshop files. Everything was working fine until now.

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Hello BDAqua, Thanks for your response, unfortunately, it's way over my head.

I actually figured it out. For some reason my backup drive wasn't showing the files copied via Time Machine, BUT, as it turns out, they were there but not visible in the directory. I Simply clicked on my computer's main root directory, selected my backup drive and the copied files showed up. I have no idea why but they suddenly appeared.

Thanks again for your response.

    Just asking, have you boored from the Restore Partition using CMD+r, then Repaired both drives, then Repaired Permissions on both?
