when I saw it happening on my DUAL QUAD (backing up to Time Capsule) ,  
I stopped the process and turned TM off.

Later, I turned it back on and everything seemed to have behaved  
normally.

I then saw it happening on our iMac 24 Alum backing up to an external  
FW drive.
I stopped the process, turned TM off, then later in the day, revived it.
All seems okay.
