[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 717564, member: 24098"] Well, it depends on how you have the drive configured. It will take up an entire partition if that's how you've set it up. It will take the entire drive if it's just a single partition. Time Machine manages the space on its own. If you have many times more space than your internal hard drive, it will just keep making hourly backups until its full. When it gets close to full, it will give you the option of pruning the backup jobs (i.e. you can specify that it keeps only the last several days, weeks or months worth of changes). [/QUOTE]
