Time Machine runs out of space to backup - should I be concerned?
A mere two weeks after getting my iMac 2012, Time Machine daily tells me that it is unable to backup due to the drive running out of space, and will try to remove older backups in the future to make space.
I have a 1TB internal HD, a 2TB external HD with media files, and a 3TB HD which is being used as my backup drive. Hence, I would think that this would be sufficient to backup all my data.
Now, should I be concerned that Time Machine is removing "older" backups? Because if I understood this software correctly, the "latest" backup will have everything I need to restore my computer in the event of data loss, right? I figured I would not have a large number of older backups due to space constraints. In that case, can't I just ignore all future warnings, satisfied that there is a mirror image of my data in at least one backup?
