Why are my Time Machine backups happening at irregular intervals, sometimes only minutes apart?
I have recently purchased an External Hard Disk and have begun to make Time Machine backups. After the initial backup, which was excruciatingly long (over 48 hours), my Time Machine is now making many, small regular backups, (as it's supposed to be doing). However, when I go into Time Machine, I notice that instead of making hourly backups, it's making irregular backups, sometimes only minutes apart. Here is a typical log of backups from today: 9:32am, 9:44am, :10:28am, 10:49am, 11:42am, 11:46am, 12:27pm, 12:35pm. There seems to be no pattern to when these backups are made. I've tried to look in the internet, but haven't found any mention of a similar issue. Does anyone know what may be happening?
