mac apm time machine external hard drive backup disk corrupt

Time machine drkive has unpartitioned info from disk util. Probably corrupt or overwritten with MBR by my Ubuntu system while mounted rw with hfsprogs

On testdisk showed two partitions and data partition intacintact.

Installing ext2 reader and gdisk on Mac allowed mounting of the drive again
