Yes-- I am in the same predicament as you-- I never used an external drive and I do not know where to "reconnect" the supposed internal drive where this back-up occurred. I think perhaps the original back-up procedure was using an internal drive and that after a certain volume was exceeded, the PC system wants us to back-up to an external history file drive. But, there are no definitive confirmations or instructions about the proper procedure that says this is the case.
