vassillios Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 So SOMETHING happened where my remaining 72 gbs of hard drive space were eaten up in about an hour. I put in the Leopard install disk, erased my hard drive, connected my Time Machine backup drive and selected "restore from backup". I was back up and running in about an hour or so. Gotta love Time Machine. And yeah I know this could have been done with SuperDuper (which I own), but this invloved way less steps and could have been done by a sixth grader. I might add that lots of suggestions were given on how to find what ate up my space, but these all required me to download an app, but I could not run these apps no matter where I downloaded them to and ran them from.....it's a mystery.

r3volution11 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Awesome. I need to get a new drive so I can start backing my stuff up correctly.

Berzerker Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Similar thing happened to me (well, not like what happened to you, but my Hard Drive had some problems with it). Used Time Machine to get my place back up, and I was up in about 5 hours (I had 80GB to import). It really did save me.

lessew Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Saved my ass as well. Had deleted a presentation after emailing it out to some folks, and then found out that none of them had recieved it. Fired up Time Machine, and BOOM, done.
