Hi,
I'm new to mac and am having a little difficulty with the time machine backup system.
I have a 2011 MBP 15" standard spec
I have about 50GB of data on the 500GB drive but in time machine it says my backup would be 351GB.
And if i go into get info on Macintosh HD it tells me that i have 499.25 total, 448.87 available and 50.38 used, which is fair enough.
But if i go into storage info in about this mac it says i have 147GB free and that there is data to the tune of 301GB in the backups slice.
these add up to the 351GB that time machine is trying to backup but i haven't made a 301GB backup and cant find where this would be on the drive.
Can anyone shed some light on whats happening please?
Thanks
