Hi.

No, no longer getting backups.  Getting backup failed messages, says to
change disk.  I would have thought it would delete old backups
automatically, doesn't seem to be happening for me.

Hi Bill,

 

Time Machine should do this automatically. Check under System
Preferences>Time Machine to see if it's still backing up. There will also be
an options button near the lower-right corner of the window; here you can
configure if Time Machine notifies you when it deletes an old backup to make
room. Let us know whether Time Machine is still doing backups.

Hi.

My 1tb time machine backup drive is full.  I am backing up a 500 gb drive,
but I have created and later deleted a number of very large files, which are
still on the backup.  Is there some way I can instruck it to delete the
oldest backups automatically in order to free up disk space?  Thanks.

Bill
