When I checked my last backup, I found several files which I have never seen before:.

x86_64SURamDisk.dmg

and when I clicked on it:

GoldenGateSeccurityStarE20G526.x86_64SURamDisk (206.1mb)

When I opened it, it had 10 folders named mnt1 to mnt9 whilst nr 10 was System

Could anyone tell me what these file are?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.6

Files missing from certain folders in my icloud backup as well as my macBook. Some of the folders backed up to my icloud drive are now empty both on multiple computers as well as in the icloud. Cant tell how or why this happened but I need to get these files back. From reading this forum this seemed to have happened to others also and i have seen comments by people who managed to get their files back after similar problems but not clear how they did it.

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?

Dunno, but apparently you're not alone:
