On an in-house Intel-based Mac with ample free disk space running Mac OS X 10.4.8, for instance, we found several large video files were highly fragmented, as were some large applications like the.
Customer support is top notch, too. There's also the nostalgia element, that I imagine is - of subjective value and won't do much to most: I tried SuperDuper! First, after researching Mac OS X cloning solutions and reading a number of raving reviews in the process back in early 2000's (somewhere between 2005 to 2007). I'm running a 'vanilla' Time Machine setup on OS X 10.9.5.' The file where you redirected output (presumably tmcompare.txt) was blank? It should have at least included info about the analysis and a summary of the findings (total bytes added, deleted, and changed).

I was having problems with TM announcing that my disk was full so after erasing (using Mac OS Extended journaled), re-partitioning it with one partition and checking permissions etc. I set TM to backup to my 2TB external HD connected by Firewire. When the backup reaches within about 50Gb of the initially announced total this total keeps increasing so that TM never stops and I did let it run for 13 hours to be sure !
When I stopped TM the TM 'mask' (in Time Machine Preferences) announced latest Backup None, and the next of course none as I'd switched TM to off.
This sort of thing has happened before during the last few days, which is why I let it run all night to see what happened. The number of GB backed up never reaches the total, as the 'of GB' keeps increasing.
TM and CCC have been running for years (each on its' own external HDD, daisy chained together via firewire) without problem until very recently.
Having formatted and checked the external HDD I'm now supposing there's something wrong with the TM app?
Does anyone have any ideas?

Next Day:
I can't use Ctrl+R on booting as the App.Store doesn't give me access to upgrading/repairing Mavericks.
It seems that there is only one solution left: re-install Mavericks? I have Mavericks on a Flash Drive. Can I run Mavericks over Mavericks? What I mean is, whilst the Mac is running on Mavericks can I insert my flash drive with Mavericks on it and do an install? If I can, will that wipe everything or just repair the OS?
Thanks in advance for any help. - Garoolgan

There are two methods for install Mavericks
1. Install Mavericks on empty volume
This is the easy way that you can use for install Mavericks without keeping any backups of previous Mac OS X version. You do not need any backup because you have an empty volume to install the OS. The main advantage of this method is you can install Mavericks download with exiting startup drive while it is booting. Also, this method doesn't need much time to complete the installation process.

'I can't download an old version of Mac OS X' If you have a newer Mac, there is no physical option to install Mac OS versions older than your current Mac model. For instance, if your MacBook was released in 2014, don't expect it to run any OS released prior of that time, because older Apple OS versions simply do not include hardware. Download Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 free latest version offline setup for MacBook. Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 is a powerful operating system with a variety of enhancements and a variety of new features that delivers more stability and ultimate level of performance.
2. Install Mavericks on the startup volume
When you are using this method to install the Mavericks download, please keep a backup of your previous OS file and application data. Otherwise, you do not be able to use those applications and file after the installation of the new OS X version. You need to create a bootable USB installer which has the Mavericks installer software on it.
- The Cupertino-based company showed off more of Mavericks, the latest incarnation of Mac OS X. Better yet, Apple announced that Mac OS X Mavericks will be available as a free download immediately.
- Apple has released OS X 10.9 Mavericks, and somewhat surprisingly it is a free upgrade for all existing OS X users. If you're using a Mac laptop or desktop from the last five years or so, you should be able to download OS X Mavericks for free just by visiting the Mac App Store.
- Before you upgrade, we recommend that you back up your Mac. If your Mac is running OS X Mavericks 10.9 or later, you can upgrade directly to macOS Big Sur. You'll need the following: OS X 10.9 or later; 4GB of memory; 35.5GB available storage on macOS Sierra or later. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
