[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 961095, member: 131855"] Time Machine does not store the entire file every time it backs up. The first time a file is backed yup the file gets backed up. On the next backup, if that file has not changed, Time Machine creates a "hard link" to the original file. The hard link points to the original file and take up much less space. The Unix gurus around here can explain those better than I can. [/QUOTE]
