Hello,
I have a small 64gb USB stick permanently installed in my laptop and want to use it to backup my documents, but I cant seem to do so.
after excluding all items from the "all my files" folder yet i cant seem to get the backup size to be lower than 100gb. I also have parallel installed. Does that make the difference? Am I missing certain things? Any help will be appreciated thank you
In Parallels>Preferences for each VM>Backup is Do not backup with TM checked?
Thanks for your reply but it is ticked.
Time Machine is designed to back up everything; as well, it will make one complete backup first and then back up incrementally. Also, if you do not have it plugged in, on a laptop Mac OS will take "snapshots" - quick backups which will be transferred to the TM when plugged in later.
So, I have a question: since you said you just want to back up your documents, why not simply drag and drop those over to the little drive?
I have excluded all items for my timemachine yet my backup is over a 100gb?
