[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1850784, member: 396914"] If you want to keep those old backups and just add to them on the 4TB, use one of the cloners to move the backup. It will take a while because even though backup uses a lot of links and those are small files, there are a LOT of them to move. Test the clone, link to it, test that TM uses it properly, then once you are content, you can reformat the 1TB. (That's faster than erasing the TM backup. Again. LOTS of little files to be erased.)
