[QUOTE="mb300e, post: 1667587, member: 342473"] Hi Sly, I was going to increase the partition size for the TM files on my Y2 2TB drive but changed my mind. I did a get info on the partition and see that TM has only used up a little over 30GB of space so I am leaving well alone, at least for the time being. All of my personal files on my op sys drive Y1 2TB are either copied or moved to my Mac Pro external 4TB drive so there is no worry about losing them. There are also copies on my Dell drives. I have software on the Dell and my primary laptop that with a couple of mouse clicks will do incremental (New, Changed etc) backups to and from my Mac Pro drives. The software is not automatic and has to be started manually, but I am on my system everyday, so when I have made a lot of additions or changes, I set it about its business when I am all done at the end of the day. Sometimes it is cooked in a few minutes, and sometimes it can take a few hours to complete. My only concern is a Mac system failure, so hopefully TM can address that possibility. I can also copy the TM files to another location I suppose to hedge the bets a little bit in my favour. Peter B. [ATTACH=full]22469[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
