External Backup Hard Drive is Full
My external 250 MB back-up Hard Drive has reached max capacity. I am using the Windows 7 Microsoft Back-up tool. Will the back-up continue and simply drop older files from years ago? When I drill down...

If you are making backups use as large a drive as you can. As said in responses here a 2 TB drive is less than a hundred dollars and in a place like Costco you can get a 3 TB for not much more. One backup is not really secure. You want a drive that you can alternate backups on - for example three complete backups each made one week apart - then should anything go wrong with one backup you have two spares. And forget Windows back up - it is not efficient. Get a good backup package like Acronis True Image which will let you restore even if Windows totally crashes.
