hard drive is full

My backup drive has only 150 MB available. How can my backup drive be full if I have a 2 terabyte server and a minimum of 999 GB available? Am I supposed to delete backups over the years or something? Just thinking about it, it is mirrored (1). So my 2 is actually 1. Regardless, do I have to do delete or something to the backups?

Mac OS X (10.4)

Hi,


I am just getting back to sorry for responding so late. After getting your message I deleted three files and boy did it take a long time to delete. I went back to the three latest ones. I do not think I need 2 year old backups, I hope. It is backing up fine now. I guess if I have to do this again next time with Time Machine only I will delete one file.
