I scheduled Backup to back up everything in my home folder (about 30 gigs) to my external hard drive (an owc mercury elite with 80 gigs of space) every friday morning at 8AM.

It worked for nearly 2 months until last week. I forgot to turn on my external drive the night before so some how the computer backed itself up onto its own hard drive. When I checked the computer later that day 30 gigs of space had disappeared.

Somehow I lost 30 gigs of space because backup put everything on my computer again.

any help would be great, thanks in advance.

well i dont know what to say to get that space back, but hopefully you have the data 2 weeks old on the external drive?

What backup software did you use? I would think that the backup would fail instead of switching the backup location on you.

I assume you already tried spotlight to see if there are duplicates of all you files, if there aren't - you may have a 30GB img file floating around.
