What will Time Machine do when
- by Joel Budgor
When Time Machine says "I will delete the oldest files first" does it mean this
literally. Here is a theoretical example.
Source Drive: 300 GB, consisting of 1 280 GB file and a 1 GB file.
Backup Drive: 300 GB
The initial backup will backup both files, using 281 GB.
If I modify the 1 GB file 21 times, what will Time machine do when
I run out of room on the backup drive; Delete the original 280 GB
because it is the oldest file or delete the oldest version of the
file I have modified 21 times. I hope it would delete the oldest
version of the file I have modified 21 times, but I want to be sure.
Thanks,
