Hey!
I deleted 3 of my oldest backups on Timemachine through finder, simply by CMD + deleting them. It was only just now that I saw that this is not the proper way to delete old backups. Im using 10.6.8, it seems that many people have had serious problems doing this.. however, I had no problems at all. I also checked the next oldest backups in Time Machine any everything seems to be there. Question is, can I be sure that everything is actually there and that I havent messed up the Backups in any way? Ive made subsequent backups and they are working just fine.. should I just carry on as normal or do you recommend I format and start the time machine backups from scratch to be sure? many thanks!
