Time Machine Permissions Problem
Hello everybody, I have a massive problem. I did a clean install of Mountain Lion, and everything ran fine, until I noticed that my messages were missing. So I restored the entire system to two days ago (09 Oct). So far so good. Then I noticed that some files were missing (but the messages were back). "Shouldn't be a problem", I thought, and entered Time Machine. To my big surprise, I saw that every backup from the current day (today) untill the date I had restored (9 Oct) was greyed out, and the folders had a little "no entry" symbol (red dot with white horizontal line) on them, so I could not acces them. So, restore back to present, to back up the missing files. When I wanted to enter time machine, I saw that every folder in my home folder which was dated before the 9.Oct (date I used for the initial restore) had the "no entry" sign on them. So now I have a time machine drive, on which I can only access today's files.
Is there a workaround to get access to my files once again? I am currently restoring my system to the 9 Oct state (with the missing files on an external HDD), and will hope that I can access ALL my backups once the restore is complete.
Anyone know why TM is behaving like this?
Thank you very much in advance 🙂
