[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1735836, member: 190607"] Yep, I'd say that a false clone is the number two most common reason that I've seen for someone's drive filling up quickly and unexpectedly. [url]http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/28/disable-time-machine-local-backups-in-mac-os-x-lion/[/url] [url]http://www.pondini.org/TM/30.html[/url] The number one reason tends to be a (usually minor) system or application error that the user doesn't know about, so the error message gets written to a log file over and over endlessly until the log file becomes huge. I'm glad that you were able to get it figured out so quickly. Sometimes tracking down this sort of problem can be a real pain. [/QUOTE]
