[QUOTE="pine man, post: 1803288, member: 329282"] I think I'm getting to grips with this issue - maybe! Using Disk Utility to examine my CCC back up drive the bar at the top of the screen shows that 857.97GB is [B]Free[/B] but at the bottom of that screen it shows that 928.43GB is [B]Available[/B], which is what is shown in Finder. Using CCC to examine the same drive shows that 857.97GB is [B]Free[/B]. Disk Utility & CCC both appear to suggest that what is [B]Free[/B] space may not necessarily be [B]Available[/B] for use?? Maybe (purgeable) is important? [ATTACH=FULL]28637[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
