[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1204609"] A follow-on question about how it deletes: When you say it starts deleting the oldest backups, how exactly does that work? Say I backup my entire system and I only have two files A and B, then have TM do the scheduled backups for a while. I edit A multiple times so it has multiple backups of A at each change, but B is the original file. When the drive is full and the deletes begin, does it delete B? If it does, then when it starts that deletion I don't really have a backup any more and I don't even know I'm at risk. [/QUOTE]
