iPhoto Library - Time Machine Restore does not work...

Holy cow.

Almost lost all my pics. I have a time machine so I thought I was OK.

iPhoto said my library may be corrupt.

I 1st tried to restore from my reliable time machine backup...NO DICE.

My library is 12 GB and when I did the restore it was 185 MB.

I ended up opening iPhoto holding Command-Option and did a DB repair. That worked.

My scary question is why did the restore not work ?

 

This is worrisome.

Running Mavericks, MBA 2013 13" with Apple latest Time Capsule.

All my iPhoto Library backups (if I do a Get Info) are no where near the correct size.

Everyone may want to check theirs.

iPhoto/Time Machine Bug ?
