Hi, I got another question, this time concerning Time Machine.. I have my FW disk connected to iMac and I hade set time Machine to use that disk..everything worked fine, until...
I was doing some changes in settings and I just tried menu in Time Machine settings named "Select Disk" - well, as i was there I just selected same disk that had been used before (that external FWE disk), but as i left this menu, in the main TM setting windows i saw: Oldest backup - never, Latest backup - never, next back up - in few seconds..
That shocked me (before I entered Select Disk menu, there were dates for oldest backup and latest backup), but after new backup was performed, again there ws date of first backup - so, can I be sure that nothing changed and my time machine is working OK (having all my backups made ready? backing up everything properly now?)

I can enter TM and on timeline I see my very first backup, as i can see others... it means it works? or do i have to format my external disk and set time machine again properly?

Thx.
