That's a good idea. After it fails again, I'll try it.

I confirmed that TM is not erasing old backups to make way for the

remains, once the backup drive is full, TM can fail to do its job of
erasing the oldest backups to make way for the newest.
Could this be a file permissions issue? If your try repairing
permissions on your backup disk does the problem go away?
