[QUOTE="kirby14, post: 537567, member: 41991"] Time Machine only does 1 full backup, the first time it runs. From then on it will only backup files that have changed. When the drive completely fills up, it will start dropping the oldest backup of a file when you have multiple copies. That way you don't actually lose the file, just the oldest revision. From what I've seen, you do not need a cleanly formatted drive, it just places a single backup file on the drive. [/QUOTE]
