Time Machine : Can't find deleted files in Time machine I just took Backup of my mac via Time Machine, the problem is :


I can't see my file in Time Machine which i deleted it from mac.
Is it true that if i delete some files from mac they will be deleted from Time Machine also (on next back up)?


Secondly, Does Time Machine takes complete Back up every-time or it just add updated or newly added files to old backup?

Thanks for your time.
Can you see the files if you just browse the backup volume directly in /Volumes/?

If a file is deleted, it won't be included in new snapshots, but there will probably still be older snapshots that have it.

The folders for backups only contain files that have changed. Other files and folders are just hard links. If a file has been modified after the last snapshot, the whole file is copied instead of storing a delta. See the Wikipedia article for more information.
