System REstore problem - please help
I will try and explain this in chunks:
I have had my iMac for about four days. During that time i set up time machine and and the system seemed to be backing up as expected. Today i did a restore to test it and make sure i understood the process. I seemed to have messed up.
I did what i thought was a system restore. However i now seem to only have 65GB of space left on my MAC HD, and the 250GB external Hard drive i was using seems to not be able to do back ups now.
When i set up time machine a couple of days ago the first major back up it did took up about 200GB. I think some how i have now got a complete copy on top of the original and i do not know what to do.
Thanks
Phil
