Time machine backup is missing from WD_Backup folder!

Hello,

I have a MyBook World Edition 1TB that i am using it for time machine, the WD_Backup folder ( in MBWE ) is empty for some reason but when checking the MyBook webpage it’s saying 80% ( around 900 GB ) of the HD is used!, like the data ( TIme Machine backups ) is there but i cant see it in finder. I have tried to check from another mac and still can’t see it. This time machine backups are really important , hope anyone can guide me to at least check if the data is there and if i can recover it.

here are some pic of MBWE webpage.

Hello,

If you try to access the backup through time machine, are you able to see the files.

Have you tried to retrieve the files using time machine?
