My MacBook Pro (2010, Mac OS 10.11.6) lost sync with the backup via our Time Capsule, which is actually to an external drive connected to the Time Capsule. Now it's trying to set up a new backup.
Then I noticed that my Mac had slowed down. Activity Monitor showed that Amazon Photos is using most of the CPU.
Turns out that Amazon Photos online only has about 12,000 of some 111,000 photos it wants to back up.
And Shoebox is at something like 16,000 of 65,000 (I have both iPhoto and Photos libraries, and guess that this is just one of them).
What could have happened that hiccuped all three backups?
Is there any way to get Time Machine to return to the previous backup?
I already have two backups, because Time Machine didn't use the clone I'd made of the backup that was on the Time Capsule itself, when I moved over to the external drive.
Mac is otherwise behaving normally.
Thanks.
