Time Machine - where are you taking me?

So I've setup Time Machine on a 160 GB LaCie drive, backing up 80GBs of files on an internal 300GB drive...TM said there wasn't enough space on my external drive so I had it skip my movies folder.



It's been doing backups for a week or so (4 days of backups), and today, it did a backup of 2GBs and just recently 8GBs (I watched it in TM prefs)...I haven't downloaded anything, just some brief web browsing...I thought it only backed up files that have changed? At this rate I'm only going to get a couple days of back ups, and my internal drive is only 2/3 full. Looks like a new drive should be on the way...

    Does your computer have name in the sharing tab in pref's. If not then set one and try again.
