You backed up one machine, let's say your older Macintosh is a desktop to make this clear.
Your computer's hguid (host globally unique id) is found in the file /Libary/Backblaze.bzpkg/bzinstall.xml and please don't attempt to edit that file, that won't work. To backup two separate machines, they need two separate licenses, and two separate "hguids". I think the critical failure here was when reinstalling, as I was asked to do, and doing inherit state, didn't give me the option to inherit the correct backup because it didn't see the frozen backup as an option, only saw the good backup from the other machine, and assumed that was the only choice. Just giving up and doing a clean backup on other machine now, and now too worried to reinstall BB on MBA. Tried to inherit it back, resulting in persistent unknown error. Other machine is now how disconnected from its previous backup that had been running for years. I just gave up on the MBA, deleted the backup, and might reinstall later. Seems BB on my MBA decided to inherit the state of my other machine, without even giving me the option. Next day, my other mac has a warning popup saying to uninstall backblaze, its no longer needed. I reinstall, do everything by the guide, inherit state (no pulldown for what to inherit)
MBA is is perfect shape, had been backing up for months, fully passing disk checks just now, no timemachine funny business, I never even used timemachine.
