In spite of all of this, I can second the earlier poster in that my TimeMachine backups are very fast (in the order of a dozen seconds too), while I don't even quit PM, didn't exclude the .old database, and moreover perform them over Airport onto a vulgar NAS server. Jérôme, I checked the daily volume increase on the server, and I feel it's not getting this larger every day (now, my PM database is "only" 91M, so maybe it's duplicated without me seeing it in fact. But after a week, my archive looks almost the same size in Gb...) Hervé -- remove ".listes" and add a dot after fh please enlevez ".listes" et ajoutez un point après fh
