@phoneboy Had some similar weirdness here; Time Machine suddenly announced it had to make a whole new base backup, and then Arq did likewise. Machine has been running hotter than hot since 1 July.

Between Two Fires: A Fire History of Contemporary America [barnesandnoble.com] is probably the most readable account, if you're interested.
