I have a newbish question about TM and going on vacation. I know that if you don't back up on TM for a long time it will do a complete re-image of the drive. How long does it need to be before doing this?
I will be going on vacation for about 2.5 weeks and taking my laptop with me because I will be shooting a lot of photos and will use the laptop to download to to keep my SD cards from getting full.
I'm just curious if I disable TM when I leave for vacation will I avoid this full image rebackup or is 2.5 weeks not enough to trigger it anyways? I'm trying to avoid the entire re-imaging if necessary because I use a Time Capsule to back up to and if it did a full backup it would waste a lot of disk space and also take forever on wireless. I'd need to know so I can plug it in to the TC via ethernet if it will do a full backup when I got back.
