Hi Dennis,
For each backup that TM performs, it adds about 20% for workspace.
I don't understand this. 20% of what?
TM adds about 20% for padding for workspace it needs on the TM disk.
So if you are backing up 200GB + 20% workspace = $240GB

Hi Neil
Aha that was the problem. Try as I might following Ronni's technical
symbols suggestion I just could not find what I felt should be
obvious. I had View menu set to Roman, not realising I should adjust
that in any way. Bingo now I have it. Thank you.

Hi Neil,
When you upgraded from Tiger to Leopard did you remember to delete the
'Mac OS 9 /System Folder (not to be confused with /System, which is an
essential part of Mac OS X)?
Also delete the /Applications (Mac OS 9) folder— again, not to be
confused with Mac OS X’s /Applications
