[QUOTE="tigo, post: 1387183, member: 244613"] Hi Thanks for your suggestions. I'm not sure if it was abruptly disconnected at some point (I can't recall it, but it may have happened). I tried verify/repair. It said that the volume appears to be okay. However, I've still got the same issue: It won't back up as it says there's not enough space, and I can't open anything from the 'home' folder in the old backup. All that I can think of is that I got one of the Mac specialists at work to double the capacity of my hard drive from 160 to 320 GB. This will be the first time I've tried to back up since then. Therefore, I wonder if it's seeing it as a completely different hard drive?... and won't allow me to open any of the documents from the old Time Machine back up?... Do you think I should just erase the external drive and start over? [/QUOTE]
