Time Machine Backup Not Completed
#1
Probably should have anticipated this.

My Time Machine Backup can no longer be completed. The external hard drive (2.5 TB) used to back up a 0.5 TB SSD is full. A Get Info says there is 483.13 GB available.

I assume if I switch to a larger (say, 4 TB) drive for a Time Machine backup, I should be good for a while longer. I also assume that I'll lose all of the information stored on the current, 2.5 TB drive.

Should I clone the current drive to the new, larger drive before designating the larger drive to be the new Time Machine?

Can I just start using the newer Time Machine today? Will I still have access to any data from the soon-to-be decommissioned drive (just by re-connecting it, if necessary)?

thanks, Todd's constricted keyboard
