[QUOTE="firesidedog, post: 1623257, member: 137958"] I realize I've posted this before but its really starting to annoy me now. I purchased a new WD external hard drive in hopes that would resolve the problem of "preparing backups". It still takes upward of 20-30 minutes before it actually starts the back ups. I have opened up TM and deleted the "files in progress" in hopes that it would work. It didn't. Now should I try an SMC reset? and if i do should I have my ext hd attached while I do this. I would appreciate any ideas as to what to do. Thanks much. [/QUOTE]
