I am using Time Machine.
Then I started Lion in recovery mode with CMD+ R and choose "Restore from Time Machine Backup". All worked fined and my Mac started.
But now when I want to use Time Machine again :
- I got a message "Time Machine can not complete a backup" : backup is too large for backup disk (it's a partition).
- I checked the Backup disk and see there are used 200GB and 104GB is free. But for my current Backup I need about 200GB.
- I do not see my old Backups in the Backups.backupdb (also checked with
tmutil listbackups)
Questions:
How can I access my old backups which I think they are still on the backup drive but not visible?
Can I set the current Backup to use previous (I hope) existing backups to avoid a full backup?
Is the only solution is to clean the Backup drive (partition) for upcoming backups and delete previous backups?
