Cris, thank you for your reply. As I mentioned in my original post, I have
selected overwrite rather than append. The external hard drive is 300 gigs.
Each backup is about 30gigs. For five nights there should be about 100 to
150 gigs free after backup.

Don't look at WHAT there should be, what is there actually for size -
all you need to do is open the external drive, select DETAILS in the view,
and you can see what size each backup is.

All backups should be very close to the same size unless you're doing a
lot of ADD/Delete functions, so if you see 30GB on Monday, you should see
about 30GB on Tuesday.

What are you file sizes for the backups on the drive?
