Kenney,
From what you're describing, you're not looking at the "Backup - all files" script. You're looking at something else, probably the Safety Clone. That would also account for the difference in size. A Safety Clone -- which excludes Previous Systems and other things -- is not a backup, and should not be used for that purpose. The "Backup - all files" script only excludes System Temporary files and Norton FileSaver files. If you're not running Norton, the FileSaver stuff doesn't really matter. The System Temporary are things like the Temporary Items folder, Desktop DB, mach and mach.sym, the Journal files, core dumps, temporary and swap files. None of which *should* be copied anyway. So -- judging from what you're saying, it's very likely you're using the wrong script. Sound plausible?
