[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1574903, member: 24160"] I only partially agree - possibly disagree more than agree. It is a user's responsibility to learn and understand any particular backup strategy they decide to use. Where I agree is that Apple should do more to educate an end user about the operation of Time Machine when it is turned on than is done. If those local snapshots are taking up a large amount of disk space, that's not really a Time Machine issue - it's a user issue. Turning on Time Machine and then never reconnecting the external drive to transfer those local snapshots to the backup drive - or the 2nd option - turn Time Machine off during those times when the backup drive is not available - or the 3rd option, which is the option I've taken - turn off local snapshots.
