Time Machine Not Making Weekly Consolidations

NaOH · 06-15-2012, 12:52 PM

This is a 10.7.4 system and I've never used third-party utilities to tweak the default Time Machine settings. What I've noticed is that Time Machine is no longer consolidating daily backups into weekly backups. The last weekly backup was 14 May, and since then I only have daily backups.

I've run Disk Utility > Repair Disk multiple times, and no issues have been listed any time. I've turned off Time Machine then waited a few hours before re-enabling it. Similarly, I've turned it off, restarted the Mac, then waited a while before turning it back on. I found nothing applicable at James Pond's great site covering all things Time Machine, and my web searches also turned up nothing.

Anyone have suggestions for correcting this?
