Why did the Backup overwrote my archives in my External Disk and how can I recover them?
I saved some Files on my External Disc before. Today I decided to make a Backup of my Mac and who it was finished I realized my Files that were before on my External Disc are not there anymore!!
what can I do?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.5
FYI and for Future purposes - Using One Drive for more than One Purpose is not a good idea.
When Time Machine Backup is Configured to use the One Drive - it whats to have Complete Control of the Entire Drive and marks the Drive as Read Only.
It may also Re-Configure the Drive to the expected APFS / GUID Partition Map format.
When doing so, this may cause the " Archive " folder to have been removed
Unless the " Archive " Documents are stored elsewhere, like on iCloud or some other Cloud Based Storage location - they maybe lost and can not be gotten back 😢
