That's fine by me. I'm a backup paranoid after losing a WordStar
document from my Osborne I in 1982.

But it appears not to be working. TM says it can't backup because the
disk is too full. Based on the quote in the title, I expected it would
delete old backups to make room and go about its business.

What don't I know?

TIA!
