10.5: Repair Time Machine after logic board changes
Authored by: djsabor on Sat, Nov 7 2009 at 11:49AM PST

Hello -

I followed the hint listed above, making adjustments for volume names that needed to be enclosed in quotes, etc. Nevertheless, when I unmounted the volume by rebooting the machine, the Time Machine interface offers me only the backups that have been done since the MAC change (from the logic board swap). Have I just lost access to months and months of backups? Is the problem that I let TM complete a full backup using the new MAC before realizing that that was the source of the problem?

All commands seemed to have executed correctly, so I'm not sure where to go to troubleshoot from here.

Please help.
