[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1453459, member: 46727"] It's not backing everything up. You said it yourself that it writes about 200 MB. That certainly is not a full backup unless you're using a hard drive from 1990. However, what Time Machine is doing is "looking" at all your files to see what has changed and therefore should be included in the backup. The more data you have, the longer it's going to take. Why do you need to backup every 60 minutes anyway? Just backup once a day in the evening when you're sleeping or the machine is idle. Download the free [URL="http://www.klieme.com/TimeMachineScheduler.html"]Time Machine Scheduler[/URL] and use it to set a more realistic interval. [/QUOTE]
