[QUOTE="Amen-Moses, post: 525453, member: 114"] Time Machine is "Buggy" to say the least, although it seemed to perform faultlessly for the first couple of days when I switched it off for a few days and then switched it back on it did some very strange things, like complain that the backup disk didn't have enough space when it had 7Gb more than it was trying to backup (and most of that would have been only links which are tiny), I put a few more things in the ignore list (like XPlane - 55Gb!) then it went ahead with the next backup with no error. Basically it seems to have a problem with simple math, if it cannot backup on time (i.e every hour, day, week etc) then the next backup cycle over-calculates the space required. It also seems to have a problem counting files, the first report I got for the complete back up stated 1,800,000+ files needed backing up yet when I get info on the backup drive it claims to have 800,000 files. Where the other million went is anyones guess. Presumably we will find these "bugs" ironed out in updates over the next few months. Amen-Moses [/QUOTE]
