[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1865844, member: 46727"] Unless you keep Time Machine backups for a very long time, there is no reason to have a Time Machine external drive double the size of your internal drive. Let's face it, how useful is a Time Machine backup that is one year old, or even 6 months old? After 6 months of backups, I start deleting the oldest one in line. I realize that some folks like to keep their Time Machine backups for years on end, but for the average person that is not necessary. [/QUOTE]
