If you attach a drive (and TM isn't already configured) it will ask if you want to use that drive or one of the volumes on it if it's partitioned. 2012-04-04T10:44:21+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/746#3288 Gordon Clyne info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ It seems that TM will back up a mounted drive if it runs when the new volume is mounted. I plugged in a 16 gb cf card full of images, but left it to do something else, and when I returned the TM had run and added the cf volume to the backup folder..... So how to recover the 16 gb space from my TM designated drive? Do I have to add the cf volume as an exclusion in the TM prefs ? 2012-04-05T12:34:37+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/746#3291 Mick Burrell info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Do I have to add the cf volume as an exclusion in the TM prefs ? Yes, but not sure if you can now remove the already copied version from Time Machine.
