haihu Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Hi all, I'm having an odd problem with Time Machine backups. Currently I have a 50GB OS partition and 300GB Home partition. I'm trying to back them up using Time Machine to a separate hard drive with a 400GB of space. TM runs fine the first time, backing up about 180GB of actual data. However, when it does a scheduled backup after that, it backs up the whole system again (another 180GB). I looked at the TM drive and saw that it created another folder for my computer (MAC, and MAC2) instead of simply adding a new dated folder with changes into the original MAC folder. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I tried repairing permissions, cleaning cache, and rebooting, erasing my TM partition and backing everything up again -- all with the same results. My current setup: OS X 10.6.1 / vanilla install with Chameleon 2.0 RC3 Shutte XPC SG31G2 3.0 GHz Core 2 Quad 4GB 800MHz DDR2 Nvidia 8400 GS 2 SATA HDs - 1) 50 GB OS partition and 300 GB Home partition - 2) 400 GB Time Machine Kexts installed: NVEnabler dsmos IOATAFamily IONetworkingFamily NullCPUPowerManagement OpenHaltRestart PlatformUUID Sleepenabler VoodooHDA Thanks in advance for any help/advice!
