[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1667441"] Peter, If I understand you properly, the drive is divided 1.6 TB for data and 0.4TB (about 391 GB) for TM, right? But something is on the smaller partition that is hidden and takes up about 150GB, so you can't back up. How is the second partition formatted? If it's blank, have you tried just reformatting it to erase the hidden files? I sure hope you aren't backing up from the larger partition to the smaller--that's not a good practice. Backups should be on a separate device, not just in a separate partition. [/QUOTE]
