I upgraded to Lion recently. I noticed tonight that backups performed on Snow Leopard do not show in the Time Machine interface so I cannot restore from them. If I browse my backup volume I can see my backups exist right back to December 2009. How do I get Time Machine in Lion to recognize my old backups?

Well, without doing anything apart from rebooting my Mac and my NAS drive the backups are now visible so I wasted 50 points on a bounty I didn't need. Oh well...

Haha, well being in I.T. I tried that several times but to no avail. Maybe there's a specific number of times I needed to turn it off and on. ;o) Sep 28, 2011 at 20:20

1Actually yes, it's 3, "Threefold repetition"... Maybe you can award the points to someone and they can award them back; Then your points are not wasted as you put it.– l'L'lSep 28, 2011 at 20:40
