Ok, I have time machine backup up to an Airport Extreme connected hard drive (500GB) and it works but I am confused about the files/folders it creates/needs.
I am backing up roughly 120GB of data that doesn't really change that much and there are multiple files/folders that total 2x that? For example:
Folder - backups.backupdb - contains a folder named after the machine being backed up with multiple sub folders for hour or date backups? Total disk space 114GB.
Then there is a 'sparsebundle' file that 122GB.
Does it really need 240GB to backup up 120GB of data?
Thanks
Adam
