I haven't yet initiated it though...TM is doing its thing, but, for some reason, it's near the end and "hanging." It was at 7.9 out of 8.0 GB for a while, but when it reached 8 GB, it then indicated it was at 8 GB out of 8.01 GB. It then became 8.02 GB out of 8.02 GB, and it's been there for a while.


(BTW: Once I get it going, how long should it take? IOW, since I'm backing up "nothing," does it finish very, very quickly? Or does it take a while for it to go through a routine to check every SD! file on the target drive?)
