Hi, Here’s instructions I posted some time ago:
*** >> 1. Up to the Extras menu and choose Time Machine. >> 2. Select Enter Time Machine. >> >> This will automatically bring you to the newest Time Machine backup. To >> access older ones... >> >> 3. Use the Window Chooser (VO-f2-f2) and choose Time Machine Controls. >> >> There will be a Vertical Slider in this Controls window where you can go >> through the backups you have, or you can press the Previous button to go >> back through them. When you have the date and time of the backup you wish >> to remove, or use in some other fashion, use the Window Chooser to get back >> to the other window once again. If you wish to remove the entire backup for >> that timeline... >> >> 4. Go to the Sidebar, under Devices and choose your computer. >> 5. Interact with the Scroll area and select your HD. >> 6. Up to the Toolbar, under the Actions menu and choose Delete this Backup. *** Basically, when you copy and paste in the method you mentioned, there is a possibility, or probability, that you can corrupt your Time Machine backup. This could make it so that you no longer have valid Time Machine backups, so it is recommended that you use the proper procedure.
