Huge Time Machine backup out of the blue
A Time Machine backup just ran on my iMac, and I find the numbers a little confusing: it copied 69,831 files (6.2 GB) in total (I noticed it was taking ages and after it finished got these exact figures from Console).
I immediately noticed that this didn't make any sense, so I did a Spotlight search for "files modified in the last 1 days". A total of 291 files come up in the results, mostly web page history files.
WTF? I did NOT just install anything, update anything, or do anything out of the ordinary.

Anybody seen this happen? Any insight??
