Hi Lorenzo,

That's actually not a file but a directory, and it contains the Spotlight indexes.

You can back it up if you'd like, but it's not necessary. If it somehow gets deleted, Spotlight will automatically re-index everything anyway.

So it's entirely up to you.  Nothing major would happen if you lost it.

HTH,

Dave DeLong

Hi,
when I backup a whole volume (non boot), should I copy this file?
    /Volumes/Pocket Drive 78 GB/.Spotlight-V100
I noted that the normal user has not the permission to read it. So, should I skip that file or do I create some problem if I skip it? And, if I have to skip it, should I skip all the files starting with .Spotlight placed on the root of the disk? Or should I skip only this fixed filename .Spotlight-V100 ?
