"Should" if the source machine is the _only_ source machine backing up to the target TM destination. When the target is the target for multiple source machines, TM needs an occasional bit of manual help. At least that's what I found to be true with three laptops and three desktops backing up to my Synology hosted TM server. The core of the issue is that the oldest backups for the source machine are the only old backups that are candidates for deletion. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
