[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1858214, member: 204485"] If I understand your question you are trying to run CMMX on the external drive you are using to make Time Machine backups on. I would not try to do that. I too have been using CMM since inception and it was my impression that CMM would not be capable of reading, much less repairing a Time Machine backup because the file structure is both complex and unique to TM. As for sending your system file to MacPaw, I see no harm in that and I would be interested in their reply. Are they aware that it is a TM backup? Addit: Well, I just checked my version of CMMX > Maintainence with my TM Backup connected and am surprised to see that it lists "Verify and Repair Time Machine Backup" so I apologise for my ignorance. Personally I do not use CMMX for maintenance preferring to use OnyX so this is new to me. I will run it and report back with the outcome ASAP. [/QUOTE]
