[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1295166, member: 131855"] That depends upon how much you are backing up. If you are including system files and data in the backup them maybe. I personally prefer having a backup drive that is just a bit larger than the drive I am booting from. When a backup gets larger than the drive that it is backing up to Time Machine warns you that it will start deleting some information from the backup starting with the oldest data first. You might find [url=http://www.atpm.com/15.03/howto.shtml]ATPM 15.03 - How To: Time Travel: Introduction to Time Machine[/url] a helpful read. It covers an earlier version of Time Machine but the information should still be useful -- including some thoughts on data that can probably be excluded from a Time Machine backup. [/QUOTE]
