[QUOTE="PeterSG, post: 1524409, member: 275331"] My Mac's Time Machine backs up tens of thousands of items every hour -- even when the Mac has not been used since the last back up. It finds about 7,000 to 18,000 items and backs up hundreds of megabytes & up to over a gig. I have tried several "exclude" settings in TM options. No matter how many folders I exclude, TM finds thousands of items that have changed since its last backup -- even when it just backed up 15 minutes before & I have not touched the computer in the interim. I run iOS 10.6.8 and Parallels with Windows 7. I have checked inside Parallels to not include its files in the backups. I have used Onyx several times. ~~~~~ Is something time stamping files and, thereby changing files? Does anyone have any ideas at all to resolve these long backups? [/QUOTE]
