Yeah it was. I left it for a bit and it got to 250MB, so I assumed it was uploading Library/Mail again.

I should clarify and say support did get me to send various log files, etc. so it wasn't a bad experience at all - it just ended with no solution.

Maybe I'll just take a loss, kill my Arq 3 backups and just re-do everything with the new version!

Am I right in assuming that upgrading/re-imaging an Mac OS X install normally shouldn't result in sync



I ended up with the exact same problem.

Somehow the records of my Photos folder got "lost" and completely reuploaded, all the incremental are gone. And this was not even after I adopted an old backup, just happened randomly. It reuploaded 15 GB before I saw what was going on. So now my Glacier is about double the size it needed to be.

Support responded and had me send in the logfiles. I looked over the logs and there was nothing helpful there. Sure enough support could not help me and I am left with no solution.

This kind of stuff really makes me wary about the whole software. Strangely enough the other folders did not see the same thing happen.


Right, it shouldn't result in a re-upload.
