Backup file size smaller than source files
Hi all,
Recently, after backing up my MBP internal drive I suddenly discovered that the backup files size is less than half (92GB vs. 200GB) of the source files. I've checked the backup files manually - nothing seems to be missing. I could even start up from the backup disk and all seems to function perfectly. Any ideas what might cause this weird phenomenon. Thanks, dov |

Use Finder's "Go To Folder" menu to open the /Volumes folder and check in there for any folders, as opposed to links/aliases. If you see one there, that's likely where the data is.

If it's a folder, yes you can.

I've deleted the folder - gained 110 GB - and all works just fine :-)
Thanks dnanian. |
