Time machine will tell you when the disk is full and you can then discard entire snapshots to make space available again, more or less similar to the –remove-older-than option to rdiff-backup.

Thanks Peter! I’ll just use Time Machine and hopefully, never have to worry about running out of space on the 320gb disk…

Time machine does take a bit more space on your backup disk, as it will backup your WHOLE system, not just the dirs you’d point rdiff-backup at, but I think the conveniece of restoring to a working system would outweigh the space issue.
