Corrupted Local Time Machine Backups?
Hi and tnxs for reading.
I recently had the following experience, which is making me thinking about Local Time Machine Backups.
I have a MacBook Pro w Mavericks. I recently had an issue on my 40GB iPhoto Library and had to restore a previous version.
Since I was not at home (so without my Time Capsule), I firstly restored a local time machine backup of the previous day, which was created before the issue to my iPhoto Library. The old iPhoto Library was available by surfing on the local TM snapshots, however, after restore, I had the same issue: the library was corrupted. I tried a 2 days before local snapshot, without success.
Back home, I did a TM restore by using my Time Capsule TM backups, and the library is fully working, without any issue.
Since all the local backup that I tried to restore were related to dates where the iPhoto library was ok, I am wondering if there are any limitations or issues to local time machine backups.
Tnxs.
