[QUOTE="knightlie, post: 534100, member: 28829"] Time Machine uses Hard Links to create it's backups, so each backup doesn't include every file, just a pointer to those that have not changed, so it only looks as if each folder has all files in it. Each folder actually has a snapshot of how your machine looked, not a copy of every file. [/QUOTE]
