Dear and clever listers, There is something very basic with time machine it seems, that I cannot get my head around. I have backed up for months, and I restored an entire machine once. That went well.
But, what if I want to browse what is on my backups? When I choose open time machine from the status menus, I land in the finder. Now, I'm not a complete fool, because several parts of me are still missing, but I suspect that this cannot be the finder, and has to be part of my backup. A number of questions I have. 1. How do I know when these files were backed up? 2. How do I get to an overview of my macintosh hd, earlier in time than what is initially displayed? 3. Can I search my entire time machine disk for a certain file name or a bit of contents, and then get an overview from which I can restore? 4. How does the restore process work? Can I command c, close all and command v? I didn't see any questions or answers to this as of lately, so I think this is clear to anyone. I'm using time machine, and it already saved my day once, because I restored an entire machine with it, having booted off the recovery partition. But I'd like to use time machine to have access to my entire backup set. Please explain how you go about this. Thank you in advance for your time.
