Time Machine recently informed me that my drive was full, and that it would
begin deleting the oldest files in order to add the newest. Since the
notification, no issues, as because the oldest are quite old (by computing
standards) I don't see an issue. But then I haven't had to recover anything of
late, either. I'm assuming it's working properly.
