As you can see, the drive appears twice, once as a Time Machine backup, and again as a regular drive. Additional info: here is what I see when I click 'Select Disk' again, after I've re-added the drive. System info: Mavericks (10.9.1), MacBook Air 13' Mid 2011, Western Digital 2TB My Passport What can I do to get everything back up and running again like it was before? When browsing the drive through the Finder, the Time Machine files are still there, so I know that the data is not lost. See screenshot below:įurthermore, when entering into Time Machine, none of my backups appear in the UI. After clicking 'Select Backup Disk' and then 'Use Disk' for the HD, it's as if that drive has never been used before. This confirmation states that 'Your existing backups will not be deleted.'Īfter playing around with the network setup, I found it wouldn't work to my needs and decided to just get the drive set back up with my laptop.
In the Time Machine interface, I selected 'Remove Disk' for this WD drive and confirmed 'Stop Using This Disk' in the following confirmation. Yesterday, I wanted to set it up to handle backups through the network. I've been using a WD 2TB HD for the last two months to handle my Time Machine backups for my Macbook Air.
