[QUOTE="Dizzi45Z, post: 862773, member: 56999"] Thanks for the replies. I just went into my Time Machine Drive and I noticed that each of the Backup folders have my drives listed that are being backed up. It appears that it backups the whole drives almost every hour. For example, I can go into a backup of an hour ago or any backups from yesterday and has the entire drive backed up each time.??? That is confusing to me, because my drive has over 132 GB of info on it. So it would seem that it would fill up my Time Machine Drive within 5-6 hours. Yet, I have 18 backups that each have my whole drive copied on it. Does Time machine somehow work with the drive so that it really doesn't copy the whole drive every hour, yet somehow Aliases the information into each backup? Does that make sense? I guess I am now concerned about CPU resources if it is backing up 140 + GB every hour. But it doesn't really feel like it is ever doing that. [/QUOTE]
