[QUOTE="switchman, post: 1537453, member: 230151"] I recently replaced bad hdd and have restored all my files. TM now says; This backup is too large for the backup disk. The backup requires 770.67 GB but only 319.30 GB are available. My MAC is 2007 with 320 gb internal, TM is LaCie 320 as well. I have been using this device as backup for years but since my hdd started having problems and i was not able to stop auto backups, it had since overwritten older backups which i think are the good files. I then used disk utility to wipe clean/erase TM, partition 1 for 319gb again. Since my internal is same size as target drive, where is the large file coming from ? Appreciate any help from everyone. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
