[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1850146, member: 83420"] Hi John That's not right (I don't mean you, I mean the 689GB). Do you by any chance have any other EHD or Flash Drive attached when you are running a Time Machine Backup? If you do, then TM will back those up as well unless you deliberately exclude them. The way to exclude them (if there are any) is: Open System Preferences > Time Machine > Options and you'll see a window with "Exclude these items from backups". Then Drag those attached drives into that Window to stop them being backed up as well. Most probably this does not apply to you, but it would be one plausible explanation. Ian [/QUOTE]
