Hi All:
I had a recent kernel attack on Leopard. Thought it was a hardware issue, but found later it was the software. So I did a clean install of Leopard and used my Time Machine to restore my laptop with all of my files and settings.
I then updated some of my applications that were not back-up previously. I then ran Time Machine, However, this time TM treated to entire drive as a new drive and essentially back up the entire drive AGAIN rather than just the updated applications.
I have a about 80GB on my drive. My external disk that is used for backup on TM is showing now 160 GB (Which means that TM has backup twice the entire HD). THank goodness I had more than enough HD space on the external drive.
How do I delete the duplicate backup? Can I just manually go into finder and delete the files from Time machine on the Backup drive?
