Time Capsule backup only shows today and yesterday

Do you remember seeing a message like the example below?

If yes, Time Machine detected a problem with your old backups and deleted them so it could start all over again with a new backup yesterday and then move forward.

Normally.....but not always......the message will appear. Sometimes, it will not and Time Machine will go ahead anyway to delete the old backups and start a new backup.

Otherwise......

Try powering off the Time Capsule by pulling the power cord from the back of the unit.

Wait a few minutes

Power up the Time Capsule again and let it run for a minute or two

Restart your Mac

Open Time Machine again and leave it alone for 15-20 minutes to see if the backup history will reappear

If the old backups were still there, they would appear after a few minutes.

Unfortunately, they didn't, so you'll have to accept the fact that Time Machine deleted them and started over again yesterday with a new complete back up. Same thing happened to me after a recent update.

Sorry, confused.

What did you try to restore a couple of weeks ago?

Hopefully, you are not running any kind of anti-virus application on your Mac......or any utility that claims to "speed up", "optimize", "keep", "clean" etc your Mac. Can you clarify on that please?

Good news!
