Hello all,
I am running ML (after upgrading from SL). I am trying to back up the bootup drive so I can repair the disk by a clean install. I have a 1TB that I initially used for my movies, music etc...but since this issue arose, I purchased a 500GB to use as a backup. I formatted it to Mac Journaled and had TM have a spin with it. It said the total back up should be 126GBs. Cool. It estimated that'll take about 4 hours to do. cool. I take a nap wake up and see its completed. It says that 403 out of 500 GBs is available.
Huh?
How is this possible? Is it not enough space? It didn't shoot me any error messages when I checked. I tell it to back up and it only does small portions but the space stays the same. Am I missing something?? I need this done like yesterday :-(
