Perhaps a difference in the spotlight indexes in the two drives, Marc (one's inside the TM archive, too)? Could also be that the compression was preserved in the source but not when copied.

It may not be just SD that is bloating its output with OS X 10.6. Over the past two days I've seen similar inexplicable bloating of Time Machine files.

Needless to say I've disabled the WD program without any "visible" effect other than TM is no longer bloating hourly. |

I'm sorry -- I can't take the time to go into detail on this here, since we're still investigating. But I'm going to write a blog post about it when I get a few minutes of free time to discuss the issue and what we did (or are in process of doing) to fix it.
As I recall (and mentioned above), there's a spotlight index inside the TM backups.backupdb too.

Backups.backupdb entries repeated for every TM session ... By the way - lest you think that I'm being critical or pedantic about this - I'm just VERY HAPPY that SuperDuper handles cloning TM disks at all... NOTHING else out there can even touch them except a block based cloner... and for that support I am EXTREMELY thankful... -- Marc Last edited by MacCetera; 09-03-2009 at 05:53 PM. |

Quite possibly... I don't remember the details exactly, since I did this research almost two years ago...
