[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 514971"] Hi, ChuxMix, and welcome to Mac-Forums. From what I've seen in the demo... It uses the space it is given and it will create backups till you either tell it to stop or till it runs out of space. If it does run out of space, it will delete the oldest version to make space for the newest one, etc. Rule of thumb for buying a backup external hard drive was a minimum of twice the size of your internal HD. But the presenter at the Leopard launching event said that wasn't entirely true anymore. But I trust the old rule of thumb. ;) [/QUOTE]
