Can't get Bridge to access my Time-Machine backup. I've been looking for a solution for a while, but can't find anything useful. A link to a supposedly previous chat on the issue does not work. any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Best to search how to restore the proper way:

This is by design, you have to restore those files to your hard drive before most software can see them. They are stored in a disk image and not on disk like regular files. FWIW, I believe that Windows Backup has the same limitation.

I don't think this is the case. I was able to view images on Time Machine backup on Bridge in the past.

This is the case. A developer needs to specifically support Time Machine and Adobe doesn't. Newer versions of Time Machine use APFS snapshots and Adobe will probably never support those.
