10.5: Create a Time Machine size limit for networked disks
Authored by: odaigle on Wed, Nov 28 2007 at 6:33AM PST

Hi,
I have tested this and when TM filled the 50 Gig I had set the .sparsebundle size to, it successfully deleted only one backup to make place for the new one. I did not had the problem you are telling about. However, my backup partition (my SMB networked drive) was not full. It is only the .sparsebundle disk image that was full.
