Hi I had time machine working well. It normally made a 180-200 mb daily backup of mostly changes in user preference and e-mail program related files. I noticed for the last 5 days all the backups that time machine made were "Zero bytes" I would think the user preference file under ~/Library/ would change daily and would need to be updated in time machine. Any idea what could be going on and how I can fix this? thanks.

I tried deleting my "com.apple.TimeMachine.plist" file. After deleting this when I tried to resetup time machine it wanted to start the backup process all over again..meaning from a brand new fresh 30 gb backup of the hd and I couldn't figure out how to make it continue to the previous back up. So I went back and copied the old "com.apple.TimeMachine.plist" file back in there. Things are back to base. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
