Hi Ronni Thanks for the emails. For some reason I did not get your first one. The Seagate is formatted as you say GUID Partition Table and Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Disconnecting the drive and reconnecting it does allow the incremental to run. I am not sure where to find the ignore ownership box you refer to in your second email. I have look at the disk info by right clicking it on the desktop but the information box does not show this. Is the file you refer to the backup file? Info on the disk from utilities shows owners enabled yes, can turn owners off yes.
