I lent my portable HDD full of precious info and came back as a "Time machine security copy" is my data lost?

The disk's name is "Copias de seguridad de Time Mach" which is "TIme Machine security copies" in spanish(truncated) for whatever that's worth.

The total size of all the files is 133MB as supposed to several GB of info it had before.

You maybe able to recover the data but don't write anything to the drive!!!
If it is a mac you have then you can use tech tool pro, Data Recovery II, Disk Doctors, FILERECOVERY Professional, Boomerang, and FileSalvage. Since you can read it I take it that your on a mac since windows unless you have any extra software can't read HFS+ which it would have formatted the drive as. I have had a very good experience with File Salvage so I would try that one just don't write anything to the drive and recover your files to another drive.
