[QUOTE="PeterSG, post: 1453724, member: 275331"] Yesterday I used the Option button on Time Machine to de-select Parallels. Then I ran Time Machine. The results, file counts and time taken, were exactly the same as before excluding Parallels. (About 8,000 items.) A few days ago I shut down McAfee but got the same results. Today I shut down McAfee again just to learn what might happen after doing this again. I got the same results. My latest Time Machine backups displayed: Preparing items: 8,080 items Backing up: 416.4MB Backing up: 149.3 MB Finishing Took 4 minutes Cleaning up Took 6 minutes. Total elapsed time = 32 minutes. Several times I have run Time Machine, either by allowing it to start itself automatically or initiated by me, the results are exactly the same in elapsed time and item count. This is getting interesting but I bet we all wish it were resolved. :D [/QUOTE]
