Curt

I have just actioned your suggestion

It worked! well sort of

I have now reduced the time it takes to back-up, instead of 8mins as mentioned above, it took 90 seconds (a vast improvement) & instead of 54MB back-up file size i now have a 28MB file size (so thats halved it), however considerably more than the 6MB that i mentioned above.

The only action that i carried out was :-
1) go to omnifocus preferences
2) select "sync" and check box "keep the sync database on this mac", then choose a password,

it then started to do it's work, is there anything else that i've missed (i followed your instructions fully i think?)


once again thanks very much Curt for your help and time
