[QUOTE="AndyClift, post: 1391384, member: 142515"] Maybe I am going round in circles here but TIME MACHINE IS NOT AN ARCHIVE. It is a safety belt. If you want to archive files buy a second hard drive. If you want to be able to restore your system to how it was yesterday Time Machine is great. If you want to get back a file you deleted in error it is also great. If you want to keep a file archive buy another drive. Don't put files on the Time Machine drive. My first hard drive cost me £250 for 1.6 Gbyte. Today I can buy a 2 Terrabyte drive for less than £100 so why is anyone even thinking about using the backup drive as a archive. [/QUOTE]
