well, that says it all, doesn't it ?
TM does not support all NAS drives. more information in Pondini's user tip: http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/2.html.

Ref: Time machine not working

I have a question. Can I use TM to reset my System Preferences. In hope it would put back what changed back in Nov.
I cannot accesses any files in TM and no error message from TM. Please read Time machine not working posted 19 April. Many thanks.

You need to explain just what you mean "not working".
Also, what are you backing-up to?
Check out some of the threads under More Like This at the right of this page.

GoFlex, Xfinity, & Time Machine not working together anymore. Any suggestions?

I have a GoFlex external harddrive connected to an Xfinity wireless modem. For over a year I was able to successfully back up (Time Machine) on two MacBook Pro. About 4 months ago, Time Machine would not complete the back up on either computer. After powering down all related devices and repowering everythign works consistently until the Time Machine back up starts. The back up will start and continue for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes the back up stops and the Xfintiy Modem stops wireless tramission. I have researched and attempted several different methods to resolve, but with no success.
Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?

I am of no help to you... but maybe you can help me.
I can't get Time Machine to work with my GoFlex Home. I know it's not my wireless network. Because I've gone through a dsl modem/wifi by NetGear. Then a NetGear 2.4/5.0GHz wifi router and now Airport Extreme 5th gen.
TM recognize GoFlex Home as an acceptable disc for TM. But after a few seconds of trying to connect to it, it fails. I forget the exact reason though.
How did you connect to the GoFlex as a Time Machine?

Tried to install OS X and it says OS X could not be installed. File system or resist failed. Quit installer to restart and try again. It keeps me I a circle. How can I truly quit the install and go back to where I was. My time machine not working

i am in a loop. I can't get past this point OS X could not be installed on your computer. when I go to quit the installer I get are you sure you want to quit OS X installer? To quit, click choose startup disk to select a startup diskbfor your computer if you need to restart click restart. I don't have a start up disk and my time machine evidently isn't workig either. Does this mean I have lost everything??? Please someone help!!! I am not a tech person at all and am freaking out right now. How do I remove the download and just go back to what I had. Seriously!!!

Not sure what the iOS is.
iOS cannot run on any Mac computer, just Apple's mobile devices. You have some version of Mac OS X. To find it, please do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and post what you find along wiuth the processor description.
Some iMacs cannot run newer versions of the Mac OX. That's why we need more info about your specific model. Now that you have the serial number, enter it into the Apple support page to get it translated into a model type:

Report what that says for your model BUT DO NOT post your serial number for security reasons.

Time Machine not working after upgrading to Lion

I have a Time Machine 1.2 which worked perfectly on my old iMac OSX. A few months ago I purchased a new iMac which came with Snow Leopard, and it worked well. But when Apple came to upgrade me to Lion, the Time Machine no longer works. Is it not compatible with Lion??
At one stage I was told there was no room on the disk. I then tried to delete most of the previous backups, leaving only a handful of backups - but still no luck. I think I might have messed up things by then trying to edit the "do not back up" list. I tried to exclude some programmes applications , and now I am told there are no disks available to be backed up.
It is not very clear on the "options" screen, what one should do. What does the + and - indicate, and is it necessary to remove any files at all if I want a simple regular backup procedure on my home computer.
Lastly - if I wanted to uninstall and reinstall the Time Machine - is there a procedure?? I can't find one.
I hope someone can put me right.

I was brave and did what you said. (Thanks for being patient - I am an old lady).
I erased the external drive (called Time Machine Backups) in the diskutility.app.
Now - when I restarted Time Machine I am still told that there are no disks available to be backed up, and that this can happen if all disks are in the “Do not back up” list.
So maybe I really did mess up the list of items to be excluded from backups?
How do I restore the list now to what it should be?

Time Machine: Repeated errors when backing up for the first time using a new external firewire drive

My Iomega 500GB firewire external drive failed on me last week and I have just replaced it with an identical model. I used to use the old drive with Time Machine on my MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 with no issues, until the drive had a hardware failure and stopped spinning up, hence the replacement.
Two days ago I tried using Time Machine for the first time with the replacement external drive. The backup failed and each subsequent backup attempt has failed since then with a different error each time. The drive cannot be ejected using Finder (Finder says disk is in use and cannot be ejected even when no processes are running except for Finder and Time Machine has been disabled), by dragging it to the dock (hangs computer which can only be fixed by a hard reboot), in Disk Utilities (drive cannot be unmounted) or in Terminal ("no such file or directory").
The first backup attempt failed after 3 hours of "preparing" with the message "The backup was not performed because an error occured while creating backup directory".
I tried repairing the disk in Disk Utilities and Disk Utilities said the drive was OK ("the volume Time Machine Backups appears to be OK"). I tried ejecting the drive (hard reboot of computer and disconnecting the drive), plugging it back in again and trying again.
This time it started backing up, then failed after a few minutes with the message "an error occured while copying files to the backup volume". I had a look at the troubleshooting suggested on http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/C3.html and followed instructions. It failed again, so I did a full reset as per http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/A4.html.
It failed again, so I tried reparing the drive again in Disk Utilities and again it said it was OK. I tried using different cables and ports (Firewire 400 instead of Firewire 800), and backups still fail.
I have turned off anti-virus scanning (Sophos). I have tried excluding it from Spotlight but this causes an error message from Spotlight. I have tried trashing the com.apple.TimeMachine.plist file and rebooting. I have tried selecting deselecting the drive as the back up in Time Machine preferences, selecting "None", then "Stop Backing Up" then quitting preferences, rebooting, disconnecting the drive, reconnecting the drive and selecting the drive again as the backup disk in Time Machine preferences. I have tried erasing the drive completely, rebooting, and trying to back up again.
None of these have worked. This is a brand new drive and I do not want to have to replace it again if I do not have to.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.

Hello, some possible clues...
Should you click “Start New Backup”? Not yet! If you see the dialog above, your existing Time Machine backup is corrupt, and you might not be able to recover data from it. But you can save a copy of the corrupt bundle and, perhaps, extract some data from it if needed.
Ask yourself if Time Machine has saved data you might need before deciding what to do next:
If you are sure you won’t need anything backed up before today, click “Start New Backup” and let Time Machine do its thing.
Otherwise, click “Back Up Later” and save a copy before letting Time Machine start a new backup. Just look for a file called “computername.sparsebundle” (for network backups) or “Backups.backupdb” (for local ones) and create a copy with a different name. You can open sparsebundle files with DiskImageMounter and browse them like any other disk. More information is available here.
There you go. If you click “Start New Backup” when you see this dialog box, Time Machine will erase all of your old backup data and start a new bundle. It won’t be corrupt, but it will be empty.
Note that you can manually initiate a Time Machine backup integrity check by option-clicking the “Time Machine” icon in the menu bar and selecting “Verify Backups.”
http://blog.fosketts.net/2010/08/11/time-machine-completed-verification-backups- improve-reliability-time-machine-create-backup/
According to This Time Machine resource “This appears only on Snow Leopard, and started with the Time Capsule Backup Update 1.0 in mid-May of 2010. It also seems to have been included in the 10.6.3 v1.1 update and 10.6.4.”
So, what can you do about it? Grin and bear it, it seems, until Apple fixes it.
One thing you can do to make the backup take less time is to connect your machine to your Time Capsule or other backup drive via Ethernet for the duration of the initial backup.

Time machine not working on macbook pro 10.6.8

My time machine is not working, I want to upgrade to Lion do I need time machine?

Not to upgrade, but you may want to use Time Machine for your regular backup.
How to Install Lion/Mountain Lion Successfully - You must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Installed
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.3.) if DW cannot fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall Snow Leopard.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to
      the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the backup volume. Source means the internal startup volume.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
1. If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before
      installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the
      update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is
      complete and you've restarted.
2. You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-
      party system software modifications, or if you have modified the
      operating system through other means. (This does not apply to
      normal application software installation.)
3. The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or
      other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone
      installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the
      installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade to Lion/Mountain Lion:
1. Purchase the Lion/Mountain Lion Installer from the Mac App Store.
      The download should start quickly. Lion is nearly 4 GBs so a fast
      internet connection is essential. Download time could run upwards of 4
      hours depending upon network conditions and server demands at the
      time.
2. The installer will run automatically after the download is completed.
      Click on the Install button to begin the upgrade.
3. Follow instructions for installation.
You may also wish to consider this:
Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/
    Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button.
    Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move
    the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You
    must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes
    installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
a. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
b. After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left
      side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
c. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one.
      Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
      partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until
      the process has completed.
d. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side
      list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
e. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the
      button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
f. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash
     drive size.
3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
a. Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
b. Open Disk Utility.
c. Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
d. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
e. Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
f. Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
g. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
As an alternative to the above (you still have to do your own download of Lion/Mountain Lion) you can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process of Steps 2 through 4.

Why will my Time Machine not work/

Hi all.
Today my friend did me a "favour" and removed the 'Applicaton' icon (much to my surprise) from that part of the toolbar next to my Trash basket.
When I looked in the Trash to try and retrieve it, for some reason it was not there.
No problem I thought, I clicked onto the main hard drive icon on the desktop which I call "Nemesis" and when the page loaded I went down to the pop up launch bar on the (hidden) bottom part of the screen.
When the icons popped up I selected Time machine (for Nemesis) and went back a few pages to where I thought all was O.K.
This is where the problem lay.
Every item/button within Time machine was highlighted and appeared to be in a working condition except the "Restore" button. It was greyed out and did not work!
I could not "Restore" to my desired time period.............Why?
Regards

Today my friend did me a "favour" and removed the 'Applicaton' icon (much to my surprise) from that part of the toolbar next to my Trash basket.
Open the hard drive and drag the Applications folder to the Dock (to the right of the dividing line).

Why does Time Machine not work over wifi but only via ethernet cable ?

Hi everyone,
It's been some time I have this problem now.
The first time I backed up my mac within Time Capsule with time machine, I chose to use the ethernet cable because the gigabit connection is much faster than the wifi for the first back up, but now, any time I want to update this back up, I need to connect the cable, cause "Time Machine can not connect to the Drive I picked" over wifi.
This is so annoying. Does anyone have a similar issue ?
Any solution ?
When I got this "error" I can use Utility Airport and get full access to the drive, even in finder. The only thing that doesn't work is TimeMachine connecting to the drive, even if it is detected by TimeMachine itself.
Thanks.
Riccardo

Typical Yosemite.
I suggest a full reconfigure of the TC.
Follow this list..
No files are deleted on the TC doing this although you might have to repoint your laptop to the backup.
Note.. even if TM does connect it will say it is going to do a new backup.. it is only when it starts that it discovers the backup exists and increments it.
Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the hard disk doing this.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Setup the TC again.
Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
eg TCgen5 for basestation and and TCwifi wireless name.
If the issue is wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round. ie plan on a first and second round of changes to fix this.. hopefully.. I will point out other steps that can be round2.
2. Use all passwords that also comply with 1. but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
3. If the TC is main router you can skip this point. This is only an issue when the TC is bridged.
Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking.
4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. but this change will mess up your TM backup.. so be prepared to do a new full backup. Sorry.. keep this one for second round if you want to avoid a new backup.
5. Mount the TC disk in the computer manually.
In Finder, Go, Connect to server from the top menu,
Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever the TC ip is which you have now made static. As a router by default it is 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with that unless you know what you are doing).
You can use name.. SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your TC name.. local is the default domain of the TC and doesn't change.
However names are not so easy as IP address.. nor as reliable. At least not in Yosemite they aren't. The domain can also be an issue if you are not plugged or wireless directly to the TC.
6. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only. Do the same for ethernet if you use it.
There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
You might need to do some more work on the computer itself. eg Reset the PRAM.. has helped some people. Clean install of the OS is also helpful if you upgrade installed.
Tell us how you go.
Someone posted a solution.. See this thread.
Macbook can't find Time Capsule anymore
Start from the bottom and work up.. I have a list of good network practice changes but I have avoided Yosemites bug heaven.
Yosemite has serious DNS bug in the networking application.. here is the lets say more arcane method of fixing it by doing a network transplant from mavericks.

Time Machine crashes mac when backing up

Hello,
I purchased a time capsule with my macbook. Setting up time machine was a doddle, typical of all apple products. Lately however time machine has crashed the mac when backing up. I can sometimes keep operating in one program I have already running, but I cannot do anything else. Then I get the colour wheel spinning and this continues until I reboot the computer by holding the power key down.
I'm running the latest version of the OS and I'm fully up to date with revisions.
Time Capsule is just sitting there, accessible and operating. The problem seems to be with time machine.

Hey,
i've got exactly the same issue.
I reseted the TC few times now. Last time i got it working to backup 110GB of 120GB...and then something broke and i had to restart/reset the TC AND my MB. Trying to connect to the TM will bring up a connection progression bar with the colored curser "ball" and nothing more happens.
I'm now going to reset, erase and reconfigure the TC the last time. If its not working then i will send it back. Slightly pixxed.

Time Machine not working with Verbatim USB2TB External HDD

MacBook Pro
15-inch, Mid 2010
8GB Ram
OS 10.8.2
No updates available ATT.
Problem with Time Machine using Verbatim USB2TB (Verbatim # 96865) external hard drive in regular and safe boot. According to the Verbatim website, this external drive is compatiable with MAC OS 10+ and can be formatted to the specific Mac filesystems.
The following list of events below happen irregardless of running in regular or safe boot, so I noted my last attempt at a backup while in Safe Boot.
Before this last attempt, I successfully zeroed out the data on the drive in regular boot.
As you will see below, the drive works just fine until Time Machine gets it grimy digits on it and kills it like South Park kills Kenny.

The external drive is malfunctioning, or the data cable is bad, or you have another malfunctioning device on the bus, or there's an internal hardware fault.

Time Machine not recognizing seagate back up plus external hard drive

Please somebody save me!!! My computer was running really slow and decided to take in to the Apple store. They recommended that i needed a new a hard drive. I've beeen using the Seagate back up plus model srd0sd0 3tb drive and before i disconnected the drive i checked time machine and it said it was backed up within the last 15 minutes. disconnected and went to the store. At the apple store i told them to transfer over everything from the hard drive to the new one even though i backed it up. Well they didnt (waiting to see if they can get the drive back) they figured it was back up and so did I. Well i've tried connecting the seagate to my imac and it does not recognize the external drive. i have 10.6.8 snow leopard and tried to reboot it using the install disk. that didnt work. was on the phone with apple support and they could not get it to recognize the drive. tried connecting the drive to a windows laptop and it did not recognize it either. the drive powers on and we are wondering if it's the usb card that's faulty (heading to the store to get a new one) I hope that's it but i'm looking ahead and seeing what other ways i can get it to work. He mentioned that i could replace the outer casing not sure how that works. I did notice that the bottom of the seagate where the usb connects detaches. could that be replace? just trying to find out how to save my drive. I have all of my family photos, videos etc. you know the priceless memories. sorry for the long message. just trying to provide as much info as possible. Thanks in advance!

The genuis was probably referring to a hard disk enclosure…
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/MISC/3.5USB2ENCL/
Enclosures can fail, but the disk can be OK. It is usually possible to take the disk out and fit it into another case.
I'd suggest you take the disk, it's power supply & the USB cable with you the genius may be willing check it on another Mac it could be as simple as a bad cable. Swapping the disk can be delicate, have someone help you if you don't know how to use a screwdriver. Sometimes you can find a guide on the internet if you search for the model and 'take apart', most are simple enough not to need it.
I can't see how the iMac's USB card would effect a Windows laptop, has the Windows laptop ever shown the contents of the TM disk? I don't think they allow Apple formatted disks to mount without extra software?
Good luck with the Store, let us know if they resolve it for you.

Time Machine Not Completing First Back Up

I know there are many posts on unsuccessful Time Machine backups but I can't find one that matches this: I have a 250GB external hard drive which has been formatted correctly and the size of my mac needing backup is around 125GB. I have tried to back up a couple of times using Time Machine but every time I come back to my machine (after a few hours) it says that it needs 125GB to back up and only 100 or so are available. In between trying these backups, I have reformatted the external hard drive; there is nothing else on it and it's not partitioned. And there are no previous Time Machine backups on there; it just cannot complete the first. It's behaving as if there is already one backup on the drive and it's trying to do another (at least that's my logic). Any advice greatly appreciated.

Another one.
I had also problems with time machine. Than I recognized that spotlight tried to index the backup and if both worked together (spotlight indexing and time machine backup) the process was interrupted and my system crashed or was hanging. Therefore I added my backup hd to the volumes for spotlight not to index, and the problem was gone. I recommend to add the backup volume to the ones not to be indexed by spotlight.

Mac OS X Server 10.6.7 update - Time Machine not working and other trouble.

I've upgraded my mid 2010 mac mini server to 10.6.7 with server Combo download.
After installation (without any errors) i've detected this troubleshooting.
Time Machine (backup hd is the 2nd 500GB Hd of mini server) dont work more and
display error message that suggest to verify hard disks (done with no errors detection).
Mac Help display white page.
And if try to install Server Admin Tools, installation utility not recognize system HD and cannot be done.
The mac mini server seems however works and services seems works rights. Can be rebooted without problems.
I've tried to backup the system disk on the second hd with Carbon Copy Cloner without problem and it recognize system disk well.
I've upgraded also two others mac minis (mid 2010) with standard 10.6.7 version (no server) and a macbook and a macbook pro without problems (but i've not tried time machine on them).
Thanks in advance for any help!

I know the problems with Time Machine on Mac OS server. In your case: Look at the log files, searching for "backupd", if that tells you anything.
In my case, Time Machine in the last year stopped several times. Occasionally, there was a helpful message in the log files where I could identify a file where it had hung -- typically intermediate build results of Xcode. After excluding or deleting the offending files (where possible), Time Machine ran successfully.
Another situation which has repeatedly occurred is that time machine just hangs and does not progress, and no log entry helps. In 3 such cases what helped was to delete the spotlight index (e.g., with TinkerTool System) and let it rebuild. It took inordinately long (10 hrs) and there were log entries by mdworker that it had difficulty processing files. But when the spotlight index was finally rebuilt, Time Machine worked again.
BTW: I don't need Time Machine to backup the server system, for that I run mirrors etc., but for user files it is most convenient and has helped several times. Thus I have excluded nearly everything but /User/*.

Time Machine not working as supposed to.

The other day i made changes that i wanted to "roll back". So i selected a date 1 day earlier and restored to that date. After the system rebooted it took the next 18 hours creating a new " image " in time machine.
There was no way to stop this.
Now i lost about 6 months of priors backup points.
Before i have restored from time machine(about a year ago or longer) and it was slick and painless. The computer was ready to use immediately and it did not recreate a whole disk image.
If i restored to an earlier time, it should not have to do a full time machine backup because there is already the original one.
--my time machine disk did not change.
Are others having this issue and is apple recognizing that time machine is screwing up.

thanks, i know that was the issue, but its a stupid setup.
And it seems odd that the article says "may". They should know what the software will do.
I think that what they were trying to do (which works sometimes) is, if you restore the +*most recent+* backup, it may not do a full backup the next time. But every time I've seen it do that, it has made room for a full backup first, so may delete old backups anyway.
What if 1 day before didnt resolve my issue, and i needed to go back 100 days. Now that time has been overwritten and lost. And worse if this happens everytime i restore, and 2 restore points were needed.
You don't necessarily lose any backups; backups may be deleted only because TM needs so much space for the next one, and it deletes the oldest ones first, regardless of which one you restored.
And multiple restores will only cause multiple full backups if you do a backup after the first restore.
But don't hesitate to tell Apple about it here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/timemachine.html
