Time machine Backup Problem

[JohnRoss]

Hello , i set up a partition that was 5gb for my time machine backup and had a clean install of snow leopard backed up too my 5gb recovery partition,


my time machine backup partition is now a minimum of 13gb and i had too change partitions onto my downloads parition which is bigger , i want too go back too my original clean install of snow leopard but do not see the backups from the 12th may when i created this backup ,

i only see newer backups from when i changed my time machine too a different partition.

has anyone got any ideas too how this could be fixed????


thanks

John

Its because you have named your new installation differently from your old one, the best thing to do would have been to do a reinstall then in the following setup assistant choose the option to restore from a Time Machine backup.
