Q: What does "Backups" mean in the "About this Mac" storage graphic?
I just migrated the contents of one Mac to a new MacBook Air and discovered something I had never seen before. I had 37MB of storage taken up with "Backups." What is that? What is the best way to reduce or manage it?
One other question, while I am at it. What is included in the category of "Other?"
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

OS X: What is "other" space in About This Mac? - Apple Support
About Time Machine local snapshots - Apple Support
The local snapshots should take care of themselves if you have a backup drive in place and Time Machine activated.
