Hello,

I tried to run Time Machine today, but it reported that my files were all up to date -- which they were NOT. I had just run VM Fusion so that entire VM should have been marked for backup.

I also had some files on my iMac desktop that I had just created.

Time Machine didn't notice any of these modified files.

I checked the USB drive for errors, and found none. I also unplugged the USB drive and plugged it back in. Same issue....

--------

It wasn't until I rebooted the iMac (i7) that Time Machine then correctly found the 40 GB that had changed.

This "all files backed up" (when they're not) problem seems to be a new problem I'm having with Time Machine.

Can anyone suggest a remedy or identify its likely cause?

Look forward to any suggestions.

Thanks.

- M
