My Google-fu is weak this evening.

My Mac seems to have forgotten about the existing TM backups on an external drive. It seems to think that the backup folder is unrelated to the current system state, and thus tells me that there are only 6 GB available.

How can I tell TM that the backup on that drive is the current system's backup?

Thanks very much,

GtDS
