Message: <blockquote data-quote="karlreed" data-source="post: 1632679" data-attributes="member: 249595">I was hoping TM would accept the new Macintosh HDThe points you both make are quite valid, however, since the new Macintosh HD is a cloned copy of the original, and, there were only incremental differences, I expected it to simply continue where it left off, and copy the complete disk, which it already has.Of course, I have real incremental backups, and, if need be, can reach back some 12 years (Using Retrospect). For the last four or five years, I have used CCC, and have four live incremental backups, all on different drives. I also have three clones of my HD. I am moving to Yosemite as soon a I can resolve some issues with software I depend upon. I also do have a spare tm disk as well. Right now, my SSD Hd has a large partition for my current systems 10.6.8, and a small partition for 10.10.1 which I am using for testing. When I am ready, I will drop a small clone of 10.6.8 on the latter partition, and, upgrade the main partition.What you say about TM is correct, however, I have found it very valuable when prferences are corrupted for some reason, and I can move back to a set that works.Anyway, many thanks for the comments. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />.
