[QUOTE="djxpress, post: 1342043, member: 215539"] I've got this weird problem with Time Machine. I backup manually to an external 2 TB drive every Wed. and Sunday. I've been doing this for the last year. So I basically have 2 backups every 7 days. I noticed that the last 10 backup dates are fine, with two backups occurring every 7 days like I've done. However, at the 11th backup (and each one thereafter), Time Machine is only showing one backup every 7 days. I verified this in Time Machine as well as a program called Time Tracker and also manually browsing the hard drive. . Anyone have any ideas what's going on? Is Time Machine somehow consolidating my backup schedule after a certain point, sort of how it does the to auto backups (each hour for 24 hours, then once a day for a month, then once a week, etc.) And no it doesn't have to do with a lack of hard drive space. I've only used .15 TB of a 2 TB drive. [/QUOTE]
