[QUOTE="drgrafix, post: 1156854, member: 38559"] I guess I'm a bit confused by the size of the TM backup,backup.db folder at 6.5 TBs which I assume means expanded because I only have a 500GB HDD on the machine with 158 GB free! It did take at least an hour or two to move the file last time. Wish I knew how big the compressed file was... is there any way to determine that? It might allow me to save the folder for future reference on a totally separate drive. I have another Fantom 1TB green drive which I could possibly purge, and a 250GB iOmega USB drive that has been bulletproof. I'll take a look at the Back-In-Time deal. [/QUOTE]
