Well, today I was trying to install an old Brother Laser printer wirelessly - loaded the drivers on my week old iMac and got to the point of having to plug in an USB cable for the setup process - the computer crashed - after a reboot, I wanted to take the computer back earlier in the day and use Time Machine - to my surprise, the last backup listed was from May 2 - 5 days ago!
Now this is the first time I even wanted to try to revert back and of no use - Time Machine is using a new Seagate 1 TB drive - SO, why did this program misbehave - there seems very little in setup for TM to adjust except for excluding certain files? I did a manual backup which worked fine.
My second question concerns this 'CRASH' - anything that I should do to make sure that the computer is operating as it should - have very few utilities on it @ the moment and have not looked @ the logs. Thanks for any input.
BTW - the Brother is old w/ quirky networking, so just plugged it into my old Dell that I moved to the back room - it's on our wireless network, so I might be able to do some sharing. Dave :)
