The sparsebundle is on the data volume in the hidden .timemachine folder
Hello,
Thanks for your answer. I have read other threads with the similar problem and looked all over for that file with no avail. I used SSH to login and searched for the sparsebundle file and nothing. There are no hidden files. I also used other solutions that I found in the forum but they didn't help :(

You are saying that if you go with ssh and enter
# ls -al /data
You don't see a folder called .timemachine ???
It should be there, even if timemachine is not enabled. Note if you use flexraid, you need to replace data with your volume name.
If it is there, then look at what's in that folder.

Yes I do see a .timemachine folder but when I navigate into it it is empty. I don't understand how it is only displaying 2.37gb when before it would display the correct free size.
Could it be because I am running the beta version of the OS?
