Hi guys,
I just tried to add a partition to my external HDD (which I use for Time Machine). I used Disk Utility to add a partition of 100GB (leaving an extra 200GB for the Time Machine partition).
This process took about 30 seconds and when both partitions re-mounted they were both empty. I went back into Disk Utility and deleted the second partition I just added and resized the Time Machine partition back to using 100% of the HDD.
Both times Disk Utility informed me that nothing is being erased and a partition is just being added and then removed the second time.
This happened way too quickly to actual format the Time Machine partition.
How can I restore my Time Machine? I will freak out if I just lost my backup.
Time Machine app still shows my "oldest backup" being correct:

Any help/advice is welcome.
