Time machine backup
Hi. Does Time Machine overwrite old backups? That is, does it add new files that may have been created to the old backup? Or does it create a whole new backup again?

I should add that when you look at your backups in the TM interface, they will appear as full backups for each date/time. This is a "trick" TM plays to present them, so you can go to any backup and restore any file from that date/time but in fact, they are not full backups.
It will add new files to the existing backup.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
