I have a 500 GB OneTouch4 drive connected to my Intel iMac. I have 60 GB of miscellaneous files on the drive in addition to the Time Machine backup files. The iMac has a 250 GB internal drive with an actual capacity of 232 GB and 160 GB unused space. Some time back I began getting messages from Time Machine that I had run out of space on the OneTouch and suggested that I get another drive. I turned off Time Machine.
My question is whether Time Machine saves the all updates of each file on the drive or just the latest version. Searches on various files shows that there is only one copy of each file on the OneTouch, so where did all the storage go?
