[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1610800, member: 56379"] What size is your backup drive...and how full (number of gigs used) is the drive you are backing up? Time Machine is supposed to do a complete backup the first time...then just do incremental periodic backups of what changed since the last backup. Eventually the backup drive gets full (full of multiple Time Machine backups)...and then Time Machine is supposed to overwrite the oldest backup with the newest backup (a FIFO approach). - Nick [/QUOTE]
