Time Machine Disk Full but won't delete older backups?

My Time Machine has worked since day one. And when my 1TB disk gets full, it deletes the older backups and makes room for new ones.
However, since last week, it tells me there is an error, the disk is full, and I need to make room for XXXX amount of gigs before the back up can be completed.
Why is this happening now?

Is this what you are looking for?

Time Machine: disk full (but doesn't self erase old backups?)

Hi everyone.
I am trying to do my backups with Time Machine (TM).
My HD is 1TB, external HDD (for TM backups) is 2TB.
After a few days TM tries to do new backups, but an error message pops up: "Too low space" in the 2TB HDD.
But does not TM automatically erases the oldest backups to free space for the new ones?
I do not want to eliminate some folders, because when the space will grow up I'll be in the same situation...
Thank you for any suggestions.

Time machine disk full after switch to new mac-how to empty?

Hi,
I have been using a Time Machine-disc of 320 GB for my iMac of 320 GB for a while. Some months ago it reached the point that it was full and started to delete older backups - so far all OK.
Yesterday I switched from old iMac to new MacbookPro, and migrated all data with migration assistant.
When connecting my TM-disc to my new MBP, Time Machine indicated this disc is full and can only be used if I backup less stuff - which I don't want to do of course.
I started deleting older backupfolders from the TM-disc 'by hand', but apart from that this takes ages, I also wonder if it is the right thing to do.
I also tried to fool the system by changing the name of the backupfolder from 'iMac...' to 'MBP...' but this was denied.
What is the way to go here? Not buying a new one or erasing it altogether, I hope?

Thanks Pondini for helping out.
I found your faq, it is big! I now know how to see my old data again in TM, thanks!
I did something you say is not good: I threw away older backups by the finder. But it seems my backup works still ok.
Yes, sometimes you'll get away with that, sometimes not.
Back to my problem. I have 190 GB data on my hard drive, so I would need 'at least' 380 GB for TM-disk, which is 350. I still wonder: the same amount was flawlessly backupped until 2009, so if I would delete all backups from the disk, it should be usable once more, no?
Yes, for a while. It's a bit small, so this might happen again, and if, like most of us, you put more and more stuff on your Mac, there won't be enough room to keep old backups very long.
But I want to keep my latest backup for security. I think of doing following:
throwing away all but last backups, copy what's left on a partition of my MBP and copy it back to the TM-disk, which is connected with USB-cable to the computer.
Can you tell me if this would work? Thanks!
Not in the way you want. You can copy a single backup elsewhere, but that will convert it into "normal" folders and files; it's no longer recognized as a Time Machine backup. You cannot copy it back into a different set of backups.
Even if you could, it would still take up roughly 190 GB, so there still wouldn't be enough space for a new backup.
If you really want to keep it, your best option might be to restore part of it to another disk, or a partition on your new Mac, and leave it there. There's no point to restoring the backed-up version of OSX, and probably the apps. Your home folder(s), or selected parts of them, would probably be enough.
Perhaps a better option would be to get an additional external HD. Make a partition on it just large enough to restore some or all of the backup there. Use the rest of the disk for "secondary" backups, in case something happens to your existing one. See #27 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum) for some suggestions.

Time Machine Disk Full and Disk Repair Errors?

I have an external USB drive connected to an iMac that I use for TM backup. I received severel disk is full messages today, and the iMac told me that is was going to delete older backups and that's fine. But, I also have a MacBook backing up through the network (Airport) and that the Macbook was giving me the backup disk is full errors, and now it's saying: Time Machine Error: The backup volume is read only. To select a different volume...etc. And now that error is followed by a Disk Repair error saying the disk needs to be reformatted? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm sorry to see that no one has replied to Christopher in the two months since his post.
After 5 weeks of successful back ups I am now getting this same TM Error followed by Disk Repair error. The first time it happened I moved the sparsebundle and let TM start over. That worked fine and lasted one week, but now the errors are back. Today I tried repairing the sparsebundle in Disk Utility and it too failed with the following:
Invalid key length
Volume check failed.
Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.
The same Airport attached 500GB HD has been receiving TM back-ups from another Mac for over a month with no incidents, and houses my iPhoto library along with a hundred gigs of other stuff.
The other Mac connects exclusively via ethernet. My PowerBook uses ethernet or wifi.
Something with my TM is corrupting the disk image. I'd sure like to figure this out.

Time Machine does not appear to auto delete old backups

I would like old backups to be automatically deleted, but so far does not appear to have occurred as I have not received any warnings. I have checked the box in the setup dialog box to do so. I have only 60GB remaining and receive warnings from Tech Tools that the free space threshold is at 2% remaining.
Does the drive have to be fully exhausted before older backups are automatically deleted (causing the warning), and if so should I turn off the Tech Tools warning for remaining disc space for that drive?
I am using an OWC Mercury Elite AL Pro 2TB external drive with an eSATA connection. Our typical business files can range from 100 to 300MB each. In the Apple Support Mac 101 Time Machine article it states "As your backup disk begins to fill up to its capacity, Time Machine intelligently deletes the oldest backups to make room for newer ones (and will alert you if the "Warn when old backups are deleted" option is selected in Time Machine preferences)." To date, this warning has not appeared making me think no deletions have occurred.
Thanks for any thoughts, Scott

The oldest backup(s) won't be deleted until there isn't room for a new one. And "warning" is a bit misleading -- when there isn't enough space, the backup will fail, without deleting anything, until you deselect the option. See #C4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
Note that this has changed for Snow Leopard; it does the deletion(s) automatically, then sends a notice.
and if so should I turn off the Tech Tools warning for remaining disc space for that drive?
Yes. That accomplishes nothing. Time Machine manages it's space automatically.
To date, this warning has not appeared making me think no deletions have occurred.
That's not strictly true; it applies only when Time Machine has to delete your oldest backups to make room for new ones. But it also deletes "expired" backups every time it does a new one. See #12 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

Time machine "hung up" and won't finish a backup

TM was working fine for me. But it has sat at the same place for almost 20 hours now. I have plenty of disk space. The progress shows it is stuck at 40.3MB of 145.9MB. An OSX update was installed yesterday, is that the reason? Any steps to get this back on track would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Normally, a long 'Preparing' session after an update is OK. If you take a look at the Console logs Time Machine is reporting that your backups need "deep traversal". That's fine. Time Machine knows what is wrong and how to fix it. Let it do it's thing. If you have alot if data, it may take quite awhile.
After your update to 10.5.5 Time Machine realized the system no longer matched what it looked like during the previous backup. So it has determined that it's earlier catalogue of what-should-be-where is 'untrustable'. So it is going to go item-by-item comparing the before and after of your system.
However, in your instance, it is simply taking too long and seems to have choked.
*Anti-Virus Software*
Running anti-virus software can interfere with the backup process. Either disable it altogether, or try the suggestion outlined here, “If you use third-party anti-virus scanning software and have issues, make sure your Time Machine back up folder (Backups.backupdb on the Time Machine disk) is excluded from virus scanning.” (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1516)
*Reselect Backup Disk*
There is the possibility that the first backup after a major OS update will fail. The Console may report that the backup disk is ‘not owned by backupd’. Essentially, Time Machine no longer recognizes the backup disk.
Go to System Preferences --> Time Machine.
Click the "Change Disk..." button.
Select "None" and click "Stop Backing Up".
Now click "Choose Backup Disk" and reselect your drive again.
Close System Preferences and try backing-up again.
Let us know if this helps.

Time Machine/disk full problem

Time Machine, which has worked perfectly since i bought my Mac back in 07, has stopped backing up. The disk that I have been using for backups has become full. For a short period it was removing old backups in order to do a new backup but has now stopped doing that and my last one was January 11. What is the best course of action? Manually deleting old backups?
Edit: It looks like it is trying to delete old backups, but deletes one which isn't enough.

Thanks, I followed the advice to uninstall the incomplete backup file and that seemed to be working nicely. However, while I was watching the backup progress - Backing up X of Y - as X got close to Y, Y started getting bigger. So as a result it is running out of disc space. I verified by hard disk and it passed without a problem. I suppose I could just go ahead and delete some to make more space so that when the backup starts getting bigger than expected it still has enough space.

Time Machine Disk Full

I have Time Machine set to automatically delete the oldest backups when the disk is full. Now the current backup has failed telling me the disk is full and that I have the reduce the backup size or select a new disk.
What gives? Why aren't the old backups making room for the new one?

Pondini's excellent Time Machine - Troubleshooting may provide some help.

Time Machine - disk full - repartition?

I have a WD 1TB My Book ext hard drive, partitioned to two drives: 141GB to a Time Machine backup, and 789GB for just a data drive. The TM partition is used to backup my Macbook's 120GB internal hard drive. Well, I guess I didn't plan very well because I just got a "drive full" message when TM went to perform the last backup.
Using Drive Utility, I noticed I can take that 789GB secondary drive and repartition and make two drives out of that space without losing any data (500GB to one and 289 to the other). Can I just move my existing TM files to the "new" Time Machine partition, then reclaim the "old" TM partition, or will be stuck with 3 partitions total? Or do I just have to repartition the whole drive and lose my TM backups to now?

Depending on the order of the partition... it's possible...
This was copied straight out of help in Disk Utility on the Partition Tab:
Enlarging a volume
If you have multiple volumes on a disk and one is running out of space, you may be able to enlarge it without losing any of its data.
To enlarge a volume, you must delete the volume that comes after it on the disk, and then move the volume’s end point into the freed space. You can’t enlarge the last volume on a disk. You can see the order of the volumes in Disk Utility by selecting the disk, clicking Partition, and looking at the Volume Scheme list.
All data on the deleted volume will be erased. Be sure to back up your disk’s data before you begin.
To enlarge a volume:
From the list at the left, select the disk that contains the volume you want to enlarge, and then click Partition.
In the Volume Scheme list, select the volume beneath the volume you want to enlarge, and then click Delete .
The volume is immediately erased, leaving the space it formerly occupied available.
Resize the volume.
You can drag the divider at the bottom of the volume in the Volume Scheme list, or you can select the volume, and then enter a value in the Size field.
If the enlarged volume doesn’t use all the space from the deleted volume, you can create new volumes in the unused space.
To create a new volume, click Add , select the new volume, and choose its name, format, and size.
Click Apply.
Disk Utility enlarges the volume and creates any new volumes.

Time Machine Disk Full Too Soon

I ran an experiment with Time Machine. Last Monday I attached a freshly erased 2TB Time Machine external HD to a Mac Mini with 400GB of data on the internal 1TB HD with no exclusions. I left the Mac Mini off network -- no wifi, no ethernet -- and did not use it for one full week. Today the 2TB Time Machine HD has only 35GB of free space.
Why is Time Machine filling up the HD with incremental backups when the computer is not in use?

Well, I could be wrong, but the support article implies that the backups done via Time Capsule do that, but no mention of that distinction being made on a TM backup to a disk?
Here's the support article I'm referencing:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
Sorry if I have misinformed you. I'll alert our in-house experts to this thread to see if they have any info they can provide.

Time Machine doesn't want to restore from older backups

Hi I really am disappointed,I have a Transcend 500GB Hard drive and I have periodically been making backups from my Macbook Pro 13inch,when I tried to restore a file in Time Machine it either didn't respond or I could not move the slider to a different date.I then tried to do a system restore from one of my dates in Time Machine with my Mac OS install CD.It did the backup restore but then told me I had to shut down my Mac,I did but each time it would only come back to that message.I had to do a clean install,But now it seems I have lost all my backups all I want is some files and ma iTunes library.Can anyone help!!!Greatly appreciated.

Were you using your Snow Leopard Install disc? A Leopard disc can't successfully restore a Snow Leopard backup. If that's what you did, just do it over, with the Snow Leopard disc -- it should be fine.
I had to do a clean install,But now it seems I have lost all my backups all I want is some files and ma iTunes library.Can anyone help!!!Greatly appreciated.
If using the Snow Leopard disc doesn't work, repair your backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
If you haven't done any backups since reloading, don't.
Then see if your backups are there. (You may need to use the +*Browse ...+* option, per #E2 in Troubleshooting.) If so, and if you haven't done any backups since reloading, you may be able to use +Migration Assistant+ to recover your apps, users, data, etc. See the pink box in #19 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum) for details.

Time machine disk permissions changed to read only

Somehow, my Time Machine disk permissions have now changed tand my backups are failing;
The permissions are:
Me - read/write, Staff - read/write, Everyone - read only. I clicked on the lock and entered my system password, but I cannot change anything.
Then I ran Disk Utilities to repair and verify. Still nothing. I rebooted, logged out, logged back in, etc.
There is plenty of space left on the 2 GB drive. It is a Seagate GoFlex drive.This seems to be a new problems that has not surfaced before. My backups always ran flawlessly.
What to do?

Two computers backed up on the same Time machine disk, one computer is dead. How to access data?

Hi guys,
I backed up two different computers on the same time machine disk. Now, one of my computer is dead. I can see the backups on my time machine disk. How can I get the backup data that belongs to dead computer. When I enter time machine, I only have access to corresponding backup. I do not want to destroy the backups. My timemachine backup structure looks like below:
-->Backups.backupdb
-->Computer-1
-->Computer-2
Now, my Computer-1 is dead, and I am using Compter-2. If possible I wan to know a way of accessing Computer-1 data without destroying any other backups/files etc. Than you!

I loathe sending people offsite for information except WRT time machine. The late James Pond was a master at all things Time Machine related...maybe more....may he rest in peace for his contributions to ASC.

My external Time Machine disk is almost full. I know TM is supposed to erase the oldest back-ups to makew room for newer ones but is it safe for me to just erase the back-ups from 2 or so years ago to make room for TM as well as anything I might want to

My external Time Machine disk is almost full. I know TM is supposed to erase the oldest back-ups to make room for newer ones but is it safe for me to just erase the back-ups from 2 or so years ago to make room for TM as well as anything else I might want to add to this external drive?

Time Machine makes room for backups as necessary in a complex and sophisticated fashion, and it's not something to mess with lightly. However there are instructions at the bottom of this link which tell you how you can. Those instructions are part of the ultimate resource for all things Time Machine, put together by an Apple Support Communities member who is greatly missed.

HT201250 I'm using Time Machine. Its Full. Deleting older backups as it goes. My desktop Mini is full. I want to delete all files on my computer. How will this affect Time Machine?

I'm really wanting to make room on my Mac Mini. I have about 70 gb left. I'm not sure what to do. I'm using Time Machine to regularly backup my computer and its already full and deleting older backups. I used to, in the past before Time Machine, just drag and drop files into an external hard drive and empty the file from my computer. Should I follow a similar procedure here? If I have time machine backup up, and I remove all my files from the computer, will Time Machine begin to backup a "clean" machine onto the external drive and begin deleting past backups? What would be the best way to approach my backups, remove all my files from my computer since a variation of them are already on time machine, and not lose viable backups? Thank you.

If you erase the hard disk and you install a new Mac OS X copy, Time Machine will start a new backup and will stop using all backups you made in the past.
One option you have is to reinstall Mac OS X and restore a Time Machine backup, but restoring only some files: for example, instead of restoring everything, restore only your user files, and not your applications, so you will have more free space. Also, doing this, Time Machine will continue backing up to your old backup, because Time Machine will detect that you have "the same computer with the same files and the same Mac OS X version", but it's not.
If you have more questions about Time Machine, see this site > http://pondini.org
