10.5: Don't (?) Disable Spotlight during Time Machine backups
I have seen this problem twice on different Macs that I manage in our department. My guess is the Spotlight index of the backup was somehow damaged. My best solution so far has been to delete the TM backup sparseimage on the backup drive, reset TM (in Pref Pane) and do another complete backup. Since I have only seen this issue with Mac to Time Capsule backups, I have used direct-connect ethernet to run the new fresh backup, so it doesnʻt take forever to complete. Spotlight builds its database as the backup process, backupd, is running. And when you're done, you will not even notice Spotlight running while backups are being performed, nor will it slow them down. This is the normal (optimum) behaviour for TM and Spotlight together.

I'd also like to know what effect disabling spotlight has when running backupd? |
