[QUOTE="webrider, post: 1861622, member: 405570"] That's exactly what I did when I switched from the USB local HDD to the NAS folder, isn't it considered as a different drive ? Just switching made me think it will do it from scratch but it seems not. The second screen cap is the content of the user folder directly from the SSD, not from TM (see the bottom of the picture, Utilisateurs is Users in French and Images is Pictures). The photo library contains JPEG images which is an already compressed type of file so hard to lower the weight of these files by compression. This 250 GB backup is definitely too small considering these 500 GB of JPEG files. It's really something annoying because I don't know what to do. There is not plenty of options for TM and I have already tested all of them. If you encountered a similar problem and have any idea, I will gladly take it. Thanks, webrider [/QUOTE]
