Formatting, deleting TC - suggestions
I have a MBP with 40GB of space left on the hard drive. A lot of the used space are movies. It seems ridiculous to store already viewed movies when hard drive space is becoming a concern.
TC has become redundant to me since I use Drop Box to sync both my iMac and MBP which also stores copies on their server. I realize the advantage of TC is that you can always retrieve previous versions of files but in the year I've had TC, I've never had to use this feature, and frankly, it's never really been an issue before. Maybe 20 years ago when I first began using a computer.
So my thoughts are to wipe out TC and use it to off load movies and use it as an external hard drive (in addition to using it as router). Is there a way to format TC or do I just delete the backups?
I plan on storing all movies and TV recordings on TC and accessing them through either Mac's on TC. Are there any issues with this?
