Can I delete old backup files
A few days later (when I got time) I unplugged the external HDD from the MBP and plugged it in to the Airport Extreme (via the USB), I repointed Time Machine to the drive (now attached to the Airport Extreme) and it proceeded to do a full backup (which took another 200Mb from the drive and about 18 hours).
I now realise that Time Machine operates differently for directly attached and wirelessly attached drives, but how do I get the original 200Mb back, as it seems to me that I now have a double up on the external HDD?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.
