Hi,

Basically, ive had a Time Capsule 500GB set up on my MacBook now since early Janurary. It has worked fine until now, but today it came up with the message that there were 12GB of items that needed backup and the TC only had 4.5GB free.

I thought the whole point of the TM was that once the backup volume was full, it would delete the oldest backup to make room for the current backup?

All i am getting is an error message with the option to click OK (and then wait for the next backup error to arrive, which would put me in the same predicament) or click preferences to change the backup volume.

I store other data on the TC, stuff like old photos etc, which take up a fair bit of the TC, but it still shouldnt be turning up this error message should it?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers!
