![]() If nothing else it is almost certain to render a complete system restoration impossible. I wasn't aware any backup dates were manually removed, which is certain to corrupt a TM backup and hinder its usefulness at best. Until it froze, I could log in and see the progress. I tried Control+Shift+Eject but that did nothing. Then I am going to force shut down with the on/off button in back, and restart it. So I am going to wait 3 more days when it "should" have finished. I don't want to interrupt it if it is really working. I can't get anything to respond so I don't know if it's still copying over the files. The Time Machine is still working (blinking on and off as it looks like it's processing files) but the screen saver is just frozen there. Finally it started copying and got 1/2 done and my screen saver froze. It took 5 days (lots of files) to PREPARE the files for copying. Then because the data on Time Machine backup was not accessible (what a surprise - it's never worked for a restore for me) the Apple store agent suggested I go in to Time Machine through the back way and copy over the USER file as a new user on my now, empty Mac. The Apple folks (I took the computer and Tie Machine into the store) suggested that I wipe everything, which I did. Just wanted to add closure - well, it's still in the middle of closure a month later.
