[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1635646, member: 175845"] Yes, Time Machine when enabled and the backup drive is connected and working usually runs an incremental backup about every hour. You'll see it's working when its icon in the menubar goes aroud like a clocks hand. If you want to keep track or see what it has been doing you can use [B]Console[/B] and check its log as outlined here: [url]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/other-hardware-peripherals/306581-time-machine-log-files.html[/url] Or you can get some free or commercial utilities that will do and show the same info. Also, just opening the Time Machine pref pane will or should show when it last did its thing and when it will run next. [/QUOTE]
