Hi all,
I recently had to restore my entire sytem from a time machine backup. This went smoothly, but now my time machine drive won't continue to work as it did. The error message I get begins with:
Time machine could not complete the backup.
This backup is too large for the backup disk. the backup require "x" gb but only "y" gb are available....
This is, I'm guessing, because TM doesn't recognize that the data on the disk is actually time machine backups. I suppose I could just wipe the drive and start fresh, but there must be some way not to loose my old backups. Can someone help?
Thanks!
