[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1067357, member: 56231"] In Time Machine (I don't use it), check the Preferences thoroughly for any setting that might say something like "remove originals after transferring", or words to that effect. Chscag is right - there's no way an external drive with no OS can remove something from an internal drive. It has to be something controlled by an application, or the OS on the internal drive. Even moving a file from internal to external should not remove the original - or am I missing something about OS 10.5 or later? PS. please put your Mac and MacOS specs in your profile. It helps us to help you better. [/QUOTE]
