So long as you don't need the ability to go back and get an earlier version of a file, demote it from being a time machine drive, erase it and add it as the new time machine drive. If you wish to expand your time machine back up, get a larger drive, stop time machine, clone your existing Time Machine to it, and restart time machine with the new drive. Or wait impatiently for Apple to get off their butts and make ZFS a bootable, standardized system, then when you run out of space, you just toss more disks into the mix. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
