I was just wondering if the big ol' hard drive that I use for Time Machine backups, if I can store other files on there also or can it only hold Time Machine backups?
That is exactly how I use mine. It works like a charm. You do have to watch the free space though. It fills up fast. I don't know if there is a way to delete portions of your backups files and just keep the most current ones. I just deleted all of them and started the backup process again. Pain in the tail, but it worked.
If anyone knows a better way, please let us know.
I was just coming back here to ask this particular question. I'd like to know if/how you can just get rid of some of the older backups. If someone knows I'd love to know.
BTW, I love having a Mac and what I like the most about it is that things just seem to work without a lot of configuring.
