Time Machine always does full backup

Hello,

Time Machine always performs a full backup.

I even tried reinstalling Mac OS X from the recovery partition, but the problem persists.


Here's the logs:

I've been able to fix it. Here's the steps I followed:


- Used Carbon Copy Cloner to put everything back into the internal drive

- Erased the SSD

- Did a backup using time machine onto a 3rd drive

- Booted the Mac in Recovery Mode

- Restored from Time Machine choosing the SSD as target drive

- Booted from the SSD

- Everything works perfectly now.

Time Machine always does full backup
