It just can't start on the cuff backing up data from my new 3TB external hard drive over to my backup 500GB?

I'm not sure I'm willing to buy a new 3tB drive just for time machine when I have an excellent 500GB drive I'm not using.

Is all the data on your 3Tb HD current, or can you archive some/a lot of it elsewhere and start Time Machine with a smaller database?
