[QUOTE="ron4mac, post: 1604003, member: 63497"] By default, TimeMachine does not compress files. A full (initial) backup with either TM or CCC will take about as much space as the files take on your internal HD. If you have 250GB of space being used on your HD, the CCC and TM backups will be ~250GB each, using ~500GB of your external. As time goes by, TM will add to its space usage with its incremental backups. The CCC backup will continue to take about as much space as the the files on the internal HD. [/QUOTE]
