I have a question to any VMware Fusion 4 and the interaction with a virtual system and Time Machine in Lion OS. I use VMware Fusion 4 for the Microsoft office package, as I am more familiar with the PC version of Office. I currently have a 500GB hard drive on my 15 MPB with only 100GB used. I use a 1 TB Time Capsule for automatic back up through Time Machine. For some reason whenever I exit out of VMware Fusion 4 and my Time Machine backs up my computer it always backs up ~30GB of info. When I check my Time Machine file is states that I have 280GB of info backed up when my hard drive only has 100 GB of info stored on it. I think when VMware Fusion 4 changes (i.e. Windows 7 updates, new files created, etc) it created a new copy of the entire virtual system (only a guess).
Is anyone experiencing the same or similar issue? I would like to resolve this so my Time Capsule does not get filled. I couldnt find any posts/topics regarding this issue but if anyone could direct to them it is much appreciated.
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? (Stop Time Machine from creating new duplicate copies of my VM and only make copies of changes)
Thanks,
