My iMac has a 1TB hard drive, its about 2/3rds full. I also have a 1tb external drive also about 2/3 full.
For my time machine back up, i got a 2TB external drive, as i presumed it would be ideal (as its the size of both drives above full) But after a single back up, time machine fails as there isn't enough space on the 2TB disk. I presumed it would just continually overwrite and keep the 2TB drive up to date ?? Are there settings that can be altered for this or a better way / programme for backing up my two 1TB drives??
