I have a 2TB Time Machine HD backing up 165GB from my iMac running Mojave.
If I "Enter Time Machine" I see the cascading windows indexed back to 12/29/17 which is when I started Time Machine.
But I'm only able to bring up a Finder window from today back to 8/18/19 . . Even though the earlier dates are visible on the slider control they are not available to view.
The screen shot of Time Machine from System Preferences confirms the "Oldest backup" as 12/29/17, and in the recent past I have been able to read back to the oldest.
I have successfully done a "Verify Backups" command for Time Machine.
I'm not sure how my backup got into this condition, but I'd really like to access some earlier backups from 2018 but I can't read earlier than 8/18/19.
Very much appreciate any suggestions on how to recover my backup and prevent this from happening again. Tnx
