Time Machine: disk full (but doesn't self erase old backups?)

Hi everyone.

I am trying to do my backups with Time Machine (TM).

My HD is 1TB, external HDD (for TM backups) is 2TB.

After a few days TM tries to do new backups, but an error message pops up: "Too low space" in the 2TB HDD.

But does not TM automatically erases the oldest backups to free space for the new ones?

I do not want to eliminate some folders, because when the space will grow up I'll be in the same situation...

Thank you for any suggestions.

See Pondini's TM FAQs, for starters.
