Hi! I'm new to Mac and Time Machine but am trying to get a good system for backing up some data.
I wanted to see how much data was outside of my "user" directory so I excluded it in the Time Machine settings and then TM said the Total Included was 42 gigs. However, if I do "Get Info" in Finder on the folders under Macintosh HD, all except my user directory total 20 gigs?
Why would TM be calculating another 22 gigs? Is there other data it backs up outside of what I can see in Finder?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Have a great day!
