Network traffic after TM is complete.

After my time machine backup is complete, there is still some network traffic and my "Time Machine Backups" is still mounted. If I eject that mount, the traffic stops.

I looked through the forms and it was mentioned, but it seems as if there was no solution in the end, just a lot of things to try. Anyone else have this issue?

  • Interesting... It has to do with finder... I thought I put the backup volume in the ignore list but will look into it...

    Confirmed... I have the "Time Machine Backups" in my Prevent Spotlight from searching these locations list."

    When you add it though it does pop up with a "Time Machine Backups is a Time Machine backup disk. Spotlight will continue to search Time Machine backups but will not search other items on the disk."

    hmmmmmm

    Anyone have any other ideas?

    Running 4.2.19
    OSX 10.7.1
  • Workaround:

    Its a Lion ( OSX 10.7) issue.

    Workaround is shut off spotlight searching, which I do not use.



    sudo mdutil -a -i off
