[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1208266, member: 46727"] What Time Machine will do is erase the oldest backup to make room. You should always have a full backup available to restore from. Each subsequent backup after the initial is an incremental, however, Time Machine is smart enough to keep things in order. I just went through that myself. My oldest backup was erased by TM after it warned me that it was going to do so to make room. But when I opened TM and explored, I still had a full backup, only it didn't go back in time as far as it did before. Make sense? [/QUOTE]
