Is running FirstAid on a partially finished TimeMachine disk going to fail? Should I return this usb hdd? I got it! I am so sorry. The issue was that I had an old dev project whose dataset was 5,000+ small text files. With those backed-up on OneDrive long ago anyway, I took "rm -rf *" to that data, did similar to another proj, and I'm in Time Machine heaven. So happy I didn't return the drive, or go with one that needs its own power supply. But nuking that many files with "rm -rf *" on an SSD takes several min which seems strange. But I totally get why TM had trouble with so, so many small files rather than overall size. Sorry for not analyzing this better, and thank you! |

Is running FirstAid on a partially finished TimeMachine disk going to fail? Should I return this usb hdd? TimeMachine started hanging for over 1-hr with the "Preparing backups..." message. I tried the old 2tb TM drive and, no problem / super fast because of the excluded dir. And now, for a 2+ hours, the "Cleaning Up..." message. I feel confident that when this "clean up" finishes, I can swap to the new 4tb drive. With all the excluded dir, the 1st bkup to the 4tb drive should be fast. Then little by little, I'll add in more dir to that bkup. This sounds like a plan. thanks you! |

Is running FirstAid on a partially finished TimeMachine disk going to fail? Should I return this usb hdd? yeah. This has 5400 rpm. I almost got a 7200 rpm disk which has same $, larger, needs its own power supply. I'd though the 5400 rpm would take a little longer, sit in the corner, quietly do TimeMachine. But, this is not acceptable. |
