Hi Jerry, Not worried about the RAM, it's cheap as you say. I've been thinking about starting afresh with Time Machine. I don't have enough room to start a second partition for the new backup so I'll just have to wipe the disk and start over. I guess I'll just leave it running overnight and hope for the best!
