[QUOTE="letsunitetonite, post: 1037252, member: 151356"] I finally decided to start using Time Machine after having a MacBook for two years because I had a ton of HD video that was sucking up space on my internal hard drive. My question, and it may be dumb, is this: if I were, after my initial backup, to delete a file [I]intentionally[/I], would the file still remain on my Time Machine backups even after the drive fills up? Or would those files be deleted forever? In other words, does Time Machine always sync to your computer? Apple says that once the drive fills up files will be "intelligently deleted". So if I delete those 40 GBs of video that are sucking up my hard drive will they disappear from the drive too? Apologies for being redundant. [/QUOTE]
