[QUOTE="majo, post: 1532927, member: 309503"] [b]what happens on a second backup?[/b] Hi I am just now using the time machine for the first time. I just backed up all my info but still am nervous about whats going to happen afterwards. I needed to free up space in my disk, so right now EVERYTHING is in a external hard drive I used as backup disk, pics.. docs.. can i / should i delete the files in the computer? What happens next time I do a backup? every file in the first backup stays intact or will it just delete and create a new one? I am a complete tec-idiot so I apreciate the clarification. Thanks [/QUOTE]
