Time machine backup disk full, won't backup
My backup disk recently filled up. Now I get a message saying:
"Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to "Backup disk." The backup disk ran out of space unexpectedly. Time Machine will try to make more space available by removing expired backups during the next scheduled backup."
When I then manually click on "Back up now", it runs fine. But then an hour later the same thing happens.
I thought that with a full backup disk, Time machine is supposed to automatically make space by dumping the oldest backup... Right????
My backup disk is 2TB, it is backing up a 750GB internal disk plus an external disk with about 250GB on it.
Thanks!
