I have been using the time capsule backup for years and love it. Recently, I reached the point where it started deleting old backups because it was full. No problem there. I actually went in and erased the time capsule to start fresh because I had an external back-up off site and just wanted to start with a full, clean disk. Now, whenever time capsule runs, it backs up the ENTIRE disk every time even though I'm only adding a few files each time. Needless to say, the time capsule disk is filling up quickly. Does anyone have any idea what's causing this? More importantly - any ideas on how to resolve it? Full disclosure - the backing up of EVERYTHING actually started just BEFORE I erased the disk and just AFTER old backups were being deleted automatically due to my disk size. Therefore, I don't think my disk erase in any way caused the issue.

Thanks!!!
