I recently had to do a system restore after my PowerBook G4 crashed. Time machine worked great and I got everything back. The only problem is that now, when I try to do a Time Machine backup on the same backup hard drive I was using before (ie, has the backup files I used to restore my computer), Time Machine is trying to start completely over (with a new backup instead of an incremental one), and there's not enough room on my backup hard drive to do it. Is there a way to fix this? I guess I could toss the old backup, but I'm a little leery of doing that just yet.
