How can I persuade Time Machine to continue incremental back-ups when it wants to start from scratch?
I have been running Time Machine, backing-up to a Seagate GoFlex Desk (2TB) via a Firewire 800 connection successfully for a while. I want to use the Firewire connector elsewhere and so swapped the base to usb, reasoning that the usb2 connection would be fast enough for incremental back-ups. Problem was the disk was not recognised as the Time Machine disc and when selected to be the back-up disc Time Machine wanted to start from scratch - which would take too long over usb2. I can see and open the previous back-ups, can anyone tell me how to persuade Time Machine to continue incrementally backing-up and not start again?
iMac C2D 3.06 4GB running 10.9.2.
Thanks, psammey
