[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1007514, member: 131855"] I'm not sure that's a good idea. When Time Machine creates an initial backup it copies the files. Subsequent backup updates create hard links to a file until that file is modified. It seems like there is a good possibility of deleting an original file that Time Machine is pointing to.If all you want at the moment is the most recent backup you might want to delete the Time Machine files from that drive and initiate a new backup.
