[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1640079, member: 131855"] No it's not impossible but it's not something the user has direct control over either. Recent iterations of Time Machine have a feature called "local snapshot" which is enabled if the OP has Time Machine running and is using a notebook. In theory these local snapshots are removed if the internal drive gets too full or when the external Time Machine drive is reconnected but the deletion doesn't happen immediately. See [URL="http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202301"]here[/URL] for a description of when the snapshots are removed. [/QUOTE]
