Time Machine Can't Complete Backup

I have a Backup Ext Hard Drive - I always get a message that it can't complete the backup because there isn't enough space; so I have to erase the entire thing and start over again. I can't figure out how to fix this. My Ext Hard Drive is 1TB; it's not partitioned. It says it needs 700GB to back up but should it just be refreshing the newest files, not constantly doing a full backup?


MACBOOK PRO 13 Inch - Running Monterey 12.5 w/ 1TB of Mem and it's not full.

The Hard Drive is a Samsung SSD 1TB Ext Harddrive
