Cannot access Time Machine backups When I click on Time Machine on the top menu bar, it shows: “Latest Backup to “DS420plus.local: December 14, 2022” When I go to Time Machine > Browse Time Machine Backups, the only backup it shows is for 2022-12-14 and it shows only this: Macintosh HD > Volumes > com.apple.TimeMachine.localsnapshots > Backups.backupdb > Curt’s MacBook Pro > 2022-12-14-082841 > Macintosh HD - Data If I double-click “Macintosh HD - Data” to open it, there’s nothing inside it. What happened to my backups? I back up to my NAS. I went to my NAS > Time Machine > Curt’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle. It shows “2022-12-14” as the Modified Date for these folders: band mapped The band folder is 570 GB in size. The mapped folder is 17 MB in size. When I open the “band” folder, it has 8523 items, starting with a file with name “0” and Modified Date of 2022-02-03. The last file has Modified Date of 2022-12-23. Before this, there are files with Modified Dates of 2022-12-14. So, it looks like “Curt’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” has my multiple backups. But how come I cannot access them with Time Machine on the Mac?
