[QUOTE="giulio, post: 567399, member: 28677"] I think gilevans is looking at the hard links, which count as real files, so of course it seems like a huge backup every single time... but it's not. Did you try my instructions above? "Click on the [time machine] hard drive icon in the finder sidebar and get info. That will tell you the true size." For instance... my entire TM drive is 29GB. But it appears that there are 33 backups of 5.6GB each (which would equal 165GB).
