I just got a new external hard drive for my laptop. 1.5 Terabytes!! My first PC had a hard drive size of just 500 KILO bytes (if i remember correctly). Amazing.
Anyway.....Time machine came up and I backed up everything just fine and let it do it's thing. I also set it up so that Downloads went there.
Lately I've been reading that time machine just keeps going on and on until it fills up the hard drive.
My question is this...should I and can I partition the external hard drive to give time machine a specific part of it, say 250 gigabytes, so that it won't just over run the whole hard drive or is this just not a problem at all?
Thanks for all your patience with all the new user questions!
