Time Machine Issue

[lacarrubba]

After installing Algodoo v 1.9.7b, Time Machine backups on my Macbook Pro started failing. I'm running OS X v10.6.7. It became necessary to exclude the Algodoo application from backups in order to get Time Machine working again. I don't have the exact text of the Time Machine error message but the jist was "error copying files."

I am also running Time Machine, but I have not experienced any problems yet. Could you open the application Console in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder after you have performed a backup and post the last messages (they should be from the process backupd)?

Just remember to un-exclude algodoo, that way the error messages are actually made
