Time Machine after Logic Board Rplacement

I have read through the forums and saw that Snow Leopard should ask if I want to resume backup. Apparently it was supposed to appear as the first backup begins and I'm currently backing up and never got that dialog. Is there any way to invoke it? Thanks in advance.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

The backup disk called "Time Machine", only has one folder on it named "Desktop" which is empty and then the 800 GB sparsebundle. The sparsebundle itself has one folder named backups.backupdb and in that a folder with my computer name and tons of dated folders insider.

On occasion, Time Machine will do a backup to a sparse bundle on a local disk (this appears to be a bug). Apparently that's what happened when you connected directly.

When trying to repair the disk with Disk Utility wirelessly the program crashes. When doing it over firewire it repairs fine - both the disk called Time Machine and the sparsebundle was repaired with no errors found.

That's odd. What happens when you connect directly and repair both the partition and sparse bundle?

I can enter the app time machine but only see the one backup I just did with FireWire. No going back in time although I can see and manually access old dated folders in the sparsebundle.

Have you tried the +*Browse ...+* option? (Hold down the Option key while selecting the TM icon in your Menubar, or right-click the TM icon in your Dock).

Is this a death sentence to my backup?

If Time Machine won't back up to the existing set, probably. 😟
