My MBP (16’ M1) has a hardwired connection to my local network and in that network is a Mac Mini that has an external SSD disk attached to it that is specifically dedicated to Time Machine (the SSD). It has worked fine for years. Recently I needed a backup of a preference file in the OS, and I discovered that TM only shows me the last two days of backups even though it holds months of stuff.
Now it could be that it has to do with a recent system upgrade (OS 12 > OS13) I made on all machines, but I am not sure. However, this is the only significant thing I did lately. And btw after this upgrade, I also got problems with a hub that worked fine for a long time. But that is another issue.
Entering TM you might or might not see the whole timeline. If it shows the whole timeline all the way back- but clicking on any date in the past results in usually (see also below) nothing happening.
I did do a “verify backups” on it and found no problems. I ran First Aid on the backup disk, and all is well according to First Aid. If I open TM and key in “Apple-Shift-C” I sometimes can access the whole history. Even though it switches to a for me strange window (not the window I had open but a complete other one) and so you need to navigate back to where you had been. This works sometimes and sometimes not.
And as an extra bonus, my second MBP has the same problem. And for correctness the Mac Mini does not.
The internet has given me solutions so far. Any idea anybody?
