Missing sparse bundle?!?
I've been using my Pioneer to backup my Mac Mini using Time Machine for a few months now. I think this support is awesome. But I'm afraid you are going to tell me there is a nasty bug... I just d...

Hmmm... this isn't as bad as I was expecting. The file 'afp://my_nas (AFP)._afpovertcp._tcp.local/ReadyNAS/myhostname (running Snow Leopard)' is gone, but browsing 'afp://my_nas (AFP)._afpovertcp._tcp.local/ReadyNAS/myhostname' shows me that nothing was lost. I thought I could have two bundles, one before the new install and one after. I want this because it is my understanding that sooner or later Time Machine will throw away the oldest stuff in the timeline.'
By "clean upgrade on my Mac to Lion" I mean I had OS X 10.6 installed on a RAID set. I secure deleted everything on that RAID set, then broke the set into it's parts and installed Lion from a bootable thumb drive onto one of the drives from the original set (no longer doing RAID because Lion doesn't seem to like RAID for the boot drive).
So things aren't nearly as bad as I thought they were. Nothing seems to actually have been lost. Is there a way I can do the following:
1) copy the current bundle someplace else for achival purposes (I suspect the answer here is just drag&drop to another share)
2) remove the last/top/most recent backup from the copy
Thanks.
