Hey guys, I have been an owner of two Macs now, and I am just about to get into using Time Machine. I have a question about Time Machine, so I hope you guys can help me out here.
I am thinking about getting a 320G or 500G external hard drive. From my understanding, Time Machine saves "copies" of your entire computer from different times, and keeps everything there in place if you need to find something from the past. Right now, according to iStat Pro, I have used up 126.5G of the capacity on my iMac, so does that mean that Time Machine will make copies it over and over again, given that I do not add or erase anything from this point on? What if it runs out of space to back up, will it erase older versions of the content and put in new ones?
