[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1295200, member: 46727"] It's the actual backup file. However, if you're using your iMac to do Time Machine backups instead of an external drive, the backup file will be created again. You really need to change your backup strategy especially if you want to install Lion. Lion is not going to install on any drive that it "sees" as a Time Machine backup. [/QUOTE]
