[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1825884, member: 396914"] Bob, I fully expect the backups to take a lot of space. That's why I put them on EXTERNAL drives and not the internal drive in the MBP. That 200GB is in addition to the 250GB taken up on the external drive. So if I look at it in total, the backups of two devices that have a total of about 250GB of data are over 450GB, 250GB on the external and another 200GB still on the internal. I just want that internal space back. My settings in iMazing all point to that external drive, both as the default and for each iDevice. I do manual backups, only want one, no history, so I deleted all old backups when I made the new one today. I can't afford 4 backups because I'd need 2TB of space for that, given how it's going.
