[QUOTE="PeterSG, post: 1453541, member: 275331"] [b]Time Machine[/b] Thank you chscag! Before about a month ago, this Mac was executing its backup in less than 3 minutes. Without changing my usage pattern or any hardware or software, it is now taking 40 minutes. The "looking" for file process used to take less than 1/2 a minute and selected about 20 to 60 items. That same process now takes about 5 minutes and selects about 8,000 items. It appears to not be seeing the fact that most files have not been changed since the last backup. Also, even when there has been no usage of the Mac, it still selects about 8,000 items and the backup takes about 40 minutes. Could Time Machine not be seeing its "no change to this file" tag? Thanks for your suggestion to use the re-scheduler. [/QUOTE]
