I selected the partition of the hard drive that os OS X installed on 
it.  It does a scan of the partition and displays the number of 
folders, size, etc.  Then it asks if I want to make it a bootable OS X 
back up.  I reply yes, then I select the 40 GB hard drive as the 
destination.   The   options available are "back up set" "synchronize 
set" or "compare set".  I choose back upset and it runs for a while, 
then it stops and says the destination is full.
