Good Day Again to everybody. Time Machine has been setUP on my Apollo4TB and is runing and runing .. long time. Every time when turnON computer is "preparation" for backup and then backingup starts (runing very slow - for example : backing up 200 MB of 54.07 GB. After some time when computer was turnOFF and then turnON again , the same procedure is continue and backUP starts again showing new data : BUCKING UP 25 MB of 54.07 GB. How does it works?

Is the second backUP starting from begining again or is that second  backUP as continue to rich goal at 54.07 GB ? I'm improving my knowledge ony by experiencing new task because there is NO MANUAL or DESCRIPTION how to rich a goal . So far Apollo is very sophisticated software but HOW TO is little difficult to find on line. Best Reg to all GURUS.

Jack,

Time Machine creates incremental backups of files that can be restored at a later date, which generally don’t take much time to perform, while still maintaining a complete backup of your files.After the initial backup, Time Machine backs up only files and folders that have changed since your last backup.

May I know initial backup has been completed?

Hi Jack,

Your first backup may take a long time, depending on how many files you have. Some Mac computers make backups even when asleep. Time Machine backs up only the files that changed since the previous backup, so future backups will be faster.

While a Time Machine backup is actively backing up the Mac, you can check the progress and time remaining until completion through the preference panel item by doing the following:

Go to the ->Apple menu and choose “System Preferences” -> Click on “Time Machine” and find the time remaining under the progress bar and “Backing up: ?? GB of ??? GB” text.
