Q: Back up following Time Machine recovery
I recently wiped my hard drive, reinstalled El Capitan and then recovered from Time Machine.
Trying to back up again with TM now, it looks as though it thinks all files have changed and it
backing up 460GB at a rate which will take days.
When I recovered from TM in the firs placen I didn't reload the saved settings, and the machine host name changed.
I've read on this forum that Time Machine doesn't use host name but device id. I've now reverted the host name in any case.
Any idea why TM would be backing everything up again and/or how to stop it doing so?
Many thanks... Ewan
