Hello all, Having connected up my existing TM backup drive to my new iMac it's now run out of space attempting to complete the backup from my new iMac.
The TM disk is 500GB. The data on my new iMac - transferred from my old iMac - is 164GB so there should be plenty of space with 90GB remaining. However, I suspect that it's doing it's best to make a brand new backup of everything as it's a new computer instead of just making an incremental backup to the final TM backup from my old iMac. Looking on the Apple Community it seems that OS X uses the MAC address to determine which TM backup belongs to this iMac and at the moment TM will not even display my old backups! Is there any way that I can just get it to recognise my previous backups and add an incremental backup or do I need to remove one or all of my previous backups to continue? Eeek! Cheers, Stephen ...the sense of being which in calm hours arises, we know not how, in the soul, is not diverse from things, from space, from light, from time, from man, but one with them and proceeds obviously from the same source.... Here is the fountain of action and of thought.... We lie in the lap of immense intelligence. - Ralph Waldo Emerson -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.
