Hi Peter, Can I suggest that you go into your System Preferences, then Time Machine, Options... and click on the Plus sign to select your movies folder to exclude it from backups (you can also check the size of the movies folder in the Finder). Then, ask your machine to "Back Up Now". Check that the required size goes back to a reasonable level (if it doesn't, there must be something else going on). This backup will at least ensure that your normal files are safe.
Once a reasonable backup has occurred and you have some time for an uninterrupted backup, go back into your Time Machine preferences and remove your movies from the exclusion list and "Back Up Now".
