[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1916986, member: 396914"] How is "Media" formatted? The SuperDuper appears to be in an APFS container. APFS dynamically manages the space between all containers. I think the easiest way to accomplish what you want could be to create a new Volume inside Container disk4 and name it Media, then copy everything from the original Media to the new Media, test it to confirm everything is there, and then do away with the old Media. Then adjust the size of Container disk4 to be the entire disk. From that point, Media and SuperDuper will dynamically share the space remaining on the drive. Of course, before doing any of this, make copies of everything. Messing about with partitions can have bad results if you make a mistake. Unless you are using SuperDuper for historical storage, another way to get where you want is to simply erase and reformat the entire drive as APFS, create one Container with two Volumes, one Media and the other SuperDuper, make a new SD backup to SuperDuper and then copy what you want to Media. That gets you a nice clean drive with each Volume taking as much as it needs from the free space in the Container. [/QUOTE]
