Hi Peter,As you have now decided to exclude iMovie Events and iMovie Projects (or the whole Movie folder), from the Time Machine Backup, and backup these files using another backup procedure. (I would suggest to a Firewire External Drive, NOT USB).It is probably a good idea to delete the iMovie fil
