Backing up to a partitioned external HD

OK, another question for you. I have 4 partitions on my LaCie 1TB external. I was able to clone both 10.9.2 and 10.6.8 to it ok. However, when I try to backup either 10.6.8 or 10.9.2 (separately) to the 3rd and 4th partition with Time Machine the info TM is giving me is that it’s backing up an amount equal to about both HD’s or about 130 GB when HD1 has 60.6GB and HD2 has 70 GB???


Thanks

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), also partition 10.9.2
