I set my system to back up and save the data to my 2TB External HD and that HD is now full and I have no idea why ... there are no files there that say anything about backup, and there are not enough movies/games/music/books on it to use up the 2TB ... what the heck is going on and how can I fix this?

Sorry, it didn't occur to me that anyone else might need it ... Here we go ...

My backups go to my external HD ... I opened my external HD and went to this image

there is a name below it I assume based on what you named your PC when setting up your network

Then you double click that icon (or open it) and you see this window



click on the bottom line "Manage Space used by this backup" and you will see this window

and click on "View Backups" button

You will see this window



In the little window here there were (on mine) 8 or 9 backups ... I highlighted all but the latest (one at a time) and deleted them.

Problem solved ... that freed up about 1.25 TB of my external drive.

Hope this helps, if you're having the same problem.
