[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1726853"] I think at this point I agree with Patrick. Quit with TM, let it make the ONE backup that works, use CCC for two more. I'd set CCC for archiving, which results in something similar to TM, that is, a current backup and a history of older files. Having 4 backups of one set of files is overkill unless you are are storing really, really critical data, in which case you might be better served with a system that stores at least one backup off site, away from your location. I don't know why TM is working the way it is for you, but with all you've tried, it's not working for you. Life is too short to spend hours on this, IMHO. [/QUOTE]
