I recently had my logic board on my MacBook Pro replaced and when I tried to backup, Time Machine did not recognize the old backup on the drive and tries to create a new one. The drive is mounted fine.

Is there a way to continue using my old backup, or do I need to delete it and create a new one?
 
its possible but takes a lot of terminal commands.. i believe with snow leopard it creates backups based off the uuid and not a mac address so time machine won't be broken after such repairs
 
After having my entire machine swapped TM did not recognize the backups. I am certain they're machine specific. Can you perhaps try migration assistant in SL?
