[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1015325"] Here's what happened: you restored your entire backup to a drive that already had information on it. Restoration of this sort is meant to be done on a drive that has been [I]erased[/I]. So, to protect your original data, TM duplicated your hard drive in the "new" volume "Macintosh HD Hitachi 1." Delete that volume from your Volumes folder, and the extra 27GB will disappear along with it. [/QUOTE]
