[QUOTE="lovetoamuse, post: 1467172, member: 281660"] Hi, me again! I was able to do a complete back up last night, but after it did the backup, I got a box saying the same as before... "This backup is too large for the backup disk. The backup requires 276.32 GB but only 254.42 GB are available. Time Machine needs work space on the backup disk, in addition to the space required to store backups. Open Time Machine preferences to select a larger backup disk or make the backup smaller by excluding files." Some kind of glitch with time machine? Next time I need to do a backup, should I just erase the drive like I did yesterday and start over? [/QUOTE]
