I have an old backup of my Macbook on a 500GB WD Passport (which was my very first time backing up and was done for me by a Mac Genius at the store). When I try to update my current backup, the Time Machine says it has "failed" because "the backup volume can't be found". I think it is trying to backup the entire system, and not just the changes. How do I make a current backup? Must I format the external hard drive and start with a fresh backup? If so, how do I go about that?
Also, Time Machine is saying that there are only 30.7GB out of 148.7GB available. I don't understand this because the Passport is supposed to be 500GB. Again, a Mac genius at the store did my original and only backup thus far, so I am totally clueless.
HELP please! Thank you in advance.
