My Time Machine dates and times are incorrect, like over a year off, and I am trying to figure out how to reset my Time Machine dates to be correct. I'm running MacOS Big Sur, 11.7.4 I appreciate your help with this question.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.7
Click on the Time Machine "clock" icon at the top of the Mac's screen
Click on Open Time Machine Preferences
What is the date range that you see for backups? Whatever it is, that is the data that is contained on the Time Capsule hard drive. It is possible that Time Machine started all over with a new backup at some point in the past if the app detected that the current backup file was corrupted.
Sorry, there is no way to edit or change dates on the backups.
When you open Time Machine, you need to allow 15-20 minutes for all the backups to fully load and display the full history.
Thanks very much for your reply. Greatly appreciated. The dates shown are Jun 22, but I click on Enter Time Machine, and I see the most current stuff on my MacBook Air. So I would guess that it is working correctly. My backup disk is plugged in to my Tower Time Capsule.
