I noticed the other day that my oldest TM backup is 7 July. Everything before that has vanished. Anybody else had this? Why should it happen?

How much free space is on the TM drive?

In Preferences do you not have 'Notify after oldest backups deleted' checked?

I suspect TM needed the space.

Dave,
You know, don't you, that TM deletes old back-ups as needed?
Is there anything else strange about the situation?

I don't get it: Why are you saying that "everything disappeared"?
You wrote, "I noticed the other day that my oldest TM backup is 7 July."
These are mutually contradicting statements.
I suggest that you do nothing; continue to use TM as usual.

Well, you did write:
"Yes, but it seems strange that everything disappeared."
That was the basis for my post.
