By default, Apple's Time Machine software will grow the backup size to use all available disk space. To artificially limit this, do the following.
* Edit the file /etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default: On the line that begins '/var/hda/files/amahi-time-machine', add 'volsizelimit:XXXX' AFTER 'options:tm', where XXXX ```Do not do this while a backup is the artificial limit in MiBrunning.* Execute, as root, 'service netatalk restart'```
NOTE* Edit the file /etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default: On the line that begins '/var/hda/files/amahi-time-machine', add 'volsizelimit:XXXX' AFTER the 'options: do not do this while ..' part separated by a backup apce, where XXXX is runningthe artificial limit in MiB. Example for a ~600GB limit: :DEFAULT: options:tm,upriv,usedots volsizelimit:600000* Execute this as root: systemctl restart netatalk The way Apple's Time Machine software works requires more disk space than the size of the backup available. It is usually best to put a volume size limit in place before the first backup is created.
