Limiting Space Allocated To Time Machine On MyBook

Hello

As I understand Time Machine will eventually take up all the spare space on a drive as it does incremental backups.  

For example with a 3TB MyBook with 1TB of photos, movies etc Time Mchine from a 1TB iMAC would eventually use up the spare 2TB.  

How would I allocate say 1.5TB of the MyBook to Time Machine ?

Regards

Peter

You can allocate how much space for Time Machine share in the UI under shares. Click the TM share and adjust.
