[QUOTE="sofiahkhan, post: 1631160, member: 340732"] [b]Similar problem[/b] After having read everyone's suggestions and problems. I have the same problem but haven't been able to find a fix. I hate the time machine because : 1) it just keeps making mirror images on to my WD HD instead of only updating and backing up new files or changes made to old files. Instead if after an initial backup you had removed those files from your macbook and the next time you make a backup i thought it will only update instead it made a WHOLE new backup mirroring what was on my macbook. that takes more space on the HD but making more and more images. Could someone please be kind and tell me how i can make updates to my backups on the WD HD from my macbook instead of time machine repeatedly only making more mirrors of what i have already or may not have and deleting old backups itself as you keep running outta space. Kindest Regards Sofia [/QUOTE]
