Okay.. I "Entered" time machine, and saw that the only backup that was on there was today. I entered time machine prefs and saw my first backup on November first, but my latest backup was November 22, and time machine was mysteriously shut off.

I turned it back on and the back up failed? then I re-selected the HD and it is backing up all over again

should i be worried?

edit: when I click on the hd icon and get inside the backups folder, there is now a second one created. the "bensmac" and the "bensmacbook" inside the bensmac it shows the latest as nov 22, while the new one shows the backup "in progress"

im worried..

edit2: okay, i think its because I changed the name of my mac while the external wasnt plugged in.. I changed it back but it just doesnt want to keep adding to the "bensmac" backups, it keeps creating "bensmac1" and stuff, so im just going to wipe it clean and start over..
