Time machine backups disappeared
Hi All
Kind of a biggish problem I am having. Recently migrated old 2012 macbook pro to a new 13" macbook pro in early August. All fine with migration assistant and I inherited the TimeMachine backups on the TimeCapsule I have connected to the network. Checked after the migration and could see backups dating back to 2015.
Yesterday I opened time machine to check a folder, and low and behold, only backups present are from the last 24 hours. In the sys preferences it shows Oldest backup 2015, but nothing there.
I found a guide from pondini, and followed the full reset guide deleting the plist file. However the com.apple.timemachine.plist file is not in Library/Preferences but in Library/Preferences/ByHost.
Tried deleting it, restart a few times, and no change and the plist file does not appear.
Anyone know how to really reset the Time Capsule without deleting the backups? If I select different Time Capsule disks I find another one there but when I connect I am prompted with a password and then it says "an error occurred contact sys admin".
Any help is greeeeatly appreciated!
