I decided to try and run Time Machine again, and even after a forced re-boot of my system (using the programmer's button on the front of my QS), Time Machine evidently picked up where it left off ... and / or recovered. It had seemingly frozen, even though the progress bar was still flickering - no increase in GB being copied ... total of 5.1GB ... Activity Monitor was reporting no disk activity, although it may not have opened completely ... that's when my Dock froze trying to open Mail ... and things went downhill. I did realize that 1.8GB wouldn't change very quickly, but I noticed no progress bar movement either. So I re-booted. You're evidently right ... pretty robust ... it finished and reported only that time of today's backup ( I do all mine triggered manually). Thanks.
