[QUOTE="rbpeirce, post: 1948651, member: 410088"] I am having the same problem. I have 0.5Tb that I use for TM and 4.5Tb I use for everything else. The 4.5Tb partition has several volumes. Copying everything to another drive isn't really an option, especially since my understanding is TM drives can't be copied. If they can, that is a definite solution. Also, before you bring it up, assuming I could copy, I can't use a TM volume in the 4.5Tb area because it will expand to fill the available space. I really want to increase the size of the TM partition. It turns out the stuff I have on the 4.5Tb partition uses less than half of the available space and isn't likely to ever get anywhere near 4.5Tb. OTOH, I do daily TM backups and 0.5Tb can only hold about 10 days. 1 or 1.5Tb would be better. When I reduce the size of the 4.5Tb partition to, say, 3.5Tb, I get an untitled partition between that and the TM partition. I can't figure out how to actually expand the TM partition.
