Q: Why are the latest dates 2 years old shown for the files that have been backed up in my backup drive?  It seems that Time Machine is not allowing current information to be backed up.

Vasaguy,

I'm having a similar issue, where my time machine backups "start" at about 6 months old.  Time Machine seems to be backing up without issue during this time, but nothing is available to restore in the timeline.  Did you get any resolution on the issue?

Also, I noted that in Time Machine preferences, my "Oldest Backup" date is one day after where my time machine backups start showing in the Time Machine "star wars" interface.

Same problem. Today is 14Sep2013 but after backing up (with no errors or prompts) the Latest Backup is February 29, 2012. Why is that?

Information.
